Preventing Loses

Sometimes we are our own enemy due to a condition called arrogance and stubborness.  Whether this terrible condition is manifested in a passive or aggressive manner it impedes our ability to look inside and assess areas in our life that need modification and streghtening of the weaker areas. It is not until a storm is announced or at times we wait until its arrival to decide to start making changes.  Do not wait for the annoucement of the storm to arrive, very likely at that time it's too late and then instead you are going to be counting loses and the next disease you are going to acquire guilt and regret.  Just liberate yourself from the blinders of arrogance and stubborness, look inside and assess. As you are in this process allow for God to help you and instruct you.  "Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you teach from your law; you grant them relief from days of trouble..." (Psalm 94).

...Waiting during the Storm

At times we are confronted with that appear to be monumental and too big for us and our strength.  Many times during the storm we do not even know what to do or just we cannot do anything, and it is required for us to stay still and wait.  AWWWWW what a horrendous feeling, that is when we start developing the famous anxiety and panic attacks.  Well given that there is so much you can do I there you to put your trust in the Lord and His faithful promises.  Know that He will be with you and for you and like in 2 Chronicles 20, praise Him, worship Him, and believe.  He will fight this battle for you. "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. 17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you."
BELIEVE.

Your Gifts

Many are waiting for doomsday.  Those who are consciously or unconsciously tired of life and those who are enduring significant pains and sorrows in life are looking forward to this day. However, many do not verbalize it, but do think about it.  Well in the mean time as you wait for doomsday and even those who are relentlessly doing preparations for this day, do not forget about today.  Today is real and you cannot run away from it. And even if you are tired of life and want to cease, if you look inside there are still gifts.  Even if you consider those gifts to be insignificant, they can make a difference today to make a contribution to make a better world, in this world as we know it.  If today there was an apocalyptic event and you were standing before GOD and if He would ask you how did you invest your time and your gifts what would you answer????
