The Most Popular Proverbs (# 1)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 
and don't lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5

The Trust Factor

I have done some research into the most popular sought after Ancient Wisdom of the Bible. The most sought after is, in my opinion, a really good God direction for everyday living. For it tells us exactly where to place our trust. For Christ Followers, this may not come as a surprise because trusting in God, no matter what happens in life, is like having an eternal and present refuge for each new day; however, we are not talking about just barely placing our faith in Him. It's a, "With ALL your heart" kind of trust.  It's betting your whole life on the Creator, through Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. And while I use the word "betting," I can assure you that this is no gamble. It is, however, one of the most important and safe choices you or I could make. If you have trust issues, or you do not, this is the Ancient Wisdom for your day today.

The Un-Wisdom

Besides telling us where to place our trust, this wonderful word, gives us one other spiritual direction to help stay on the straight and narrow direction. We are also told what is unwise to do: "Lean not own your understanding." This is important because, by comparison to the source of all Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding, who is infinitely better equipped to see our journey from beginning to end, our finiteness is limited. For God looks at things as one, "Great big eternal now." (Pastor, George Creel.) We, on the other hand, are like a small subatomic particle, resting on a microscopic molecule -- called the Earth -- that rotates around a speck in the Universe -- called the Sun -- which is not even visible to the naked eye elsewhere; meanwhile, God created it all, sustains it all, and He knows it all by name. (Al McGowen aka SoJourner)  You can see, when we even attempt to see the difference in God's viewpoint and our little old perspective, there is no comparison. 

The Nutshell Take Away

In a nutshell, we are given the wisdom to Totally Trust God and don't lean on our limited information database. Leaning like this would be a huge mistake.  Then what?  We will talk about that another time; meanwhile, keep trusting, brothers and sisters, and lay off the leaning on your little ole self's way of seeing all that is. Prayerful consideration of these spiritual facts will really help us along our journey. This is especially true if you have tough decisions to make. God wants to help you with your choices, if you let Him. I do hope you will let Him. I know that is precisely what I want to do.

Be Blessed 2day ... Especially Today

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
