IT'S ALL ABOUT ONE FACTOR

One of things we fail miserably to do in this life is take care of ourselves. We tend to at times extend our boundaries to accommodate the the things of the world for invalid reasons like wanting to have fun.

One of the famous statements you will hear is this one here,"Every one is doing, so why not? Why can't I?"

If you know that you are a child of the King and that is the kind of mentality that you have, I have three statements for you...

GROW UP!
SHAPE UP!
STYLE UP!

You are not everyone. You are the child of a king, the child of THE KING, JESUS.
So just in case you thought you were on the road to good living and enjoyment of your youth or your life,

STOP RIGHT THERE!!!! YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE WRONG ROAD.

A small not is here to remind you just what you ought to do and how you out to do it...
Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life."

Verse 24...
Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD YOUR MOUTH!

Verse 25...
Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your eyes directly before you.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD YOUR EYES,WHAT YOU WATCH!

Verse 26
Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, GUARD WHERE YOU WALK AND WHO YOU ARE GOING WITH!

VERSE 27....DO NOT SWERVE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT; KEEP YOUR FOOT FROM EVIL.

Save your self some of the trouble that many are going through as a result of not taking care of themselves.

It's all about this one factor......

GUARD! GUARD! GUARD!

TOO MUCH

Why is it so easy to say I’m fine? Hardly do you ever think about it, Effortlessly, it slides from between your lips. Especially, When all that lies around you is witness to the total opposite. Seasons really never last forever, There are those when the party just won’t stop Then others when silence invades, the kind like pin drop. A silence to kill or a silence to heal, A silence that kills, echoes various unheard voices, Screaming piercingly on the inside... The result... is a temporary brain freeze. Silence that heals fabricates unheard melodies, Calm, gentle that are soothing to the soul. I then wonder and it dawns... this is just too much Or is it? Do I fear too much? Do I care too much? Do I worry too much? Do I question too much? Do I think too much? Do I foresee too much? Do I trust so much? And if I do, will I hurt, just a little too much? Do I wonder too much? Do I give too much? Do I expect too much? Have I love...

FROM THE COMFORT ZONE TO WHERE LIFE REALLY HAPPENS (OUTSIDE IT)

Image courtesy of www.loc.gov A question was asked to me a couple of weeks ago, phrased in this way… “What things do you see in your personal life where you might be resisting change?” (Think about this for some time before proceeding to read and hold on to your answer) Frustration tends to build up when things do not go as expected. Change is something each of us responds to differently. There are those who see it as an adventure. Their adrenaline shoots up at the thought of experiencing something or somewhere new. Others like myself take time to embrace it, calculating every single step as we move along. We like to know the details of where we are, what we ought to do, and better still what the future will hold. We dwell mostly in the questioning quarters than boarding the bus headed to “new”. The word “new” scares us. We’d rather be comfortable with what we know, than be put in a place that expects us to figure things out on our own; and if it takes us ...

MANY QUESTIONS & ONE ANSWER

I’m a few years into what is known as the critical decade of life. On some days, this journey is a smooth sail, you kick back, relax and you enjoy the blessings that come with being “young and free”. I admit though that clarity on life seems far-fetched on some days and you pay a hefty price for being “young and foolish”. For days on end, I have wondered what God’s will is; for my life and particularly in scenarios that seem to suck the life out of me. In distress, I question “What is your will in all this confusion Lord?” It is hard to comprehend God Himself, which affirms His word that echoes that His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Ask me how I got this far in my life, and I’ll probably be quick to let you know “By the way, I too do not know, it must have been and still is by grace, which is sufficient.” Sometimes I wish I knew what next; but eventually when I get to know, I go ahead to inquire the purpose behind the current circum...
