Sometimes our daily lives put us in situations where it’s not always easy knowing what the correct choice is. We come across situations where it doesn’t seem like there’s a real clear-cut answer. We want to do what’s right, but it’s just a matter of knowing what that is.

I recently posited this scenario to a friend of mine. There was a specific answer I was looking for. I knew what conclusion I wanted him to come to. So, as he answered, I tried to steer him in the right direction.

I asked him if I could propose to him a moral dilemma of sorts. He said, “Sure”. So, I said to him, “OK, it’s a simple scenario. But say your wife is pregnant. She’s going into labor. So, you have to drive her to the hospital. Delivery is imminent. So, you feel you have to hurry. But in order to hurry you have to speed. You’re not sure about speeding because you know you should obey the law. However, if you don’t speed you feel you are putting your wife’s life, and the baby’s at risk. What do you do?” So, his first response was, “Speed.” I said, “OK, but how do you know that, in doing that, you’re not putting other lives in danger, maybe multiple lives in danger?” He said, “You don’t.” I said, “So, you could be putting multiple lives in danger, including your own, and you still want to speed?”

Now at this point I felt he had a clearer picture of the dilemma. He didn’t see it as cut-and-dried as the situation appeared at first, because he could put lives at risk by speeding. And he could also put his wife’s, and unborn baby’s life, at risk by not speeding. But the idea was to get him to the right answer without telling him the right answer. Because, the reality is, we can face things like this every day—where you have to choose the better of two bad options. And those two options can produce entirely different outcomes. We want to make sure we’re making wise decisions in life, especially when there’s so much at stake.

I’ve thought about these moral dilemmas before. I don’t know how much thought other people put into these things, but I posed this question to myself to see if I could come to the correct conclusion. And the correct conclusion, itself, illustrates the importance of that conclusion. A rigid response to obeying a law or rule doesn’t always cut it. Life gets complicated at times, where a good response isn’t always obvious. That’s not saying laws or rules are bad. They’re not. They’re good, in that they are guides to help us to know the right thing to do in general. But those laws can’t cover, or anticipate, all extenuating circumstances.

So, getting back to my friend to whom I posed the question. There was a long pause. But he eventually came up with a final answer. Do you want to know what that answer was?

 

…Let’s go deeper

Well, my friend came up with the answer after giving it some thought. But I let him think about it for a little bit. Finally he answered back, “You just do what the Spirit is leading.” I said, “That’s right. That’s the answer I was looking for.” The thing that trumps all decisions that a Christian makes in life should be dependent on the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Bible clearly illustrates this for us.

AV Galatians 5:16: “[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” The leading of the Holy Spirit will always lead us into ways that are right. The Holy Spirit not only leads us into ways that are right, but tells us the ways that are right. We don’t have to wonder what the correct, or moral, decision is. Because He will help us to know. Not only that, He will help us and empower us to do what is right when that time comes. We just need to depend and rely on Him.

AV Galatians 5:18: “But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.” One thing that being led by the Spirit does for us is free us from the law. Does that mean we disobey the law? No. But it does mean that if we are led by the Spirit, the law is negated, because we will naturally do what is lawful. That’s what this next verse illustrates for us.

AV Romans 2:14: “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:” This shows what a Spirit-led life looks like. When you become a Christian, you get a new heart. That new heart is now alive unto God. So, now you can naturally do what is right because of this new heart. This is how a new-born Christian is able to live a righteous life. The leading of the Holy Spirit through our new heart allows us to establish the law in our everyday living.

AV Romans 6:14: “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” The law served a purpose, though. It was meant to lead us to God. For we wouldn’t know we had offended the law if we didn’t know there was a law, or what that law was. God gave us the law as a teacher to allow us to know that we needed Him. Once we know we’ve offended the law we know we need forgiveness. And when God forgives us He gives us the grace to live right.

AV Romans 8:14: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” This shows us that a Spirit-led life is a defining characteristic of a Christian. When we are led by the Spirit we are doing what God wants and expects from us. That’s how the Christian life should look. So, we don’t need to wonder what the right way to live is, or what the correct decision is. We can know and be sure when we’re living a Sprit-led life.

AV Galatians 5:16: “[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”

AV Galatians 5:18: “But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.”

AV Romans 2:14: “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:”

AV Romans 6:14: “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”

AV Romans 8:14: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

 

“Everyone has a plan until they get hit.” That’s a quote from the famous boxer, Mike Tyson. It’s actually a pretty smart statement. We many times think we know what to do in a given situation. However, when that situation arises it can present us with more difficulties than anticipated.

This statement reflects the reality of how facing an anticipated situation can be much different than just planning for it. Sometimes we get a false sense of security in planning for a situation. We think to ourselves, “OK, I got this. I know exactly what I’m going to do.” Then we get to the time to implement our plan and we get shaken, or knocked off our feet. I think what that statement best illustrates is how living life is much different than planning for it. And that’s not to say anything against planning. Planning is good. It’s just that planning alone is much different than actually implementing that plan. Often times our best laid plans fall apart at the first sign of difficulty.

The power and impact of a metaphorical punch in the face is never what we expect it to be. The thing is, if all we had to do was plan, our success would be virtually guaranteed. Implementation of that plan is just as important as the plan itself. We all know the reality of this when we plan a family vacation. We plan to leave at a certain time. But how often does that happen? If your vacation involves air travel, well, that introduces another set of difficulties entirely beyond your control. The flight delays, cancelled flights, lost luggage, etc. introduce new scenarios that can be difficult to anticipate.

Probably one of the most important things we can do is to expect the unexpected. Often times when we think we have something fully in hand we are setting ourselves up for failure. We should be confident in our plan, but still recognize the realities of life. I would call this ‘knowing what we don’t know.’ It just means that you are aware ahead of time of the difficulties any given situation can present.

I guess what this quote also suggests is, “How much can we endure?” How much can we actually take when we’re in that moment and we face something we never thought of, or couldn’t anticipate? Are we going to keep standing, or crumple up into a ball of fear and raise the white flag? Having a persistence and ‘grit’ to stick it out are also going to be of critical importance. We can’t allow the pressure we’re under to cause us to fold. Anticipate difficulties, but with the attitude that, “Yeah, I may face some trouble, but I’m not going to let it derail me from my plan.” So, I guess the question is, “When I get hit, will I still be able, and have the fortitude, to see it through?”

 

…Let’s go deeper

I believe having a clear view and understanding of the situations we face are key to being successful in life. We can’t have an unrealistic view of life and just expect everything will work out without some work. We also can’t be so negative that we think nothing will ever work out.

AV 1 Corinthians 10:12: “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” If we’re going to face the difficulties of life with any sort of success, we have to start with an accurate understanding of ourselves and the situation. If we think more of ourselves than we ought, we set ourselves up for failure. We need to properly know and understand our strengths and weaknesses. This gives us solid ground and a firm foundation for us to face difficulties.

AV Proverbs 16:9: “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” Another thing we need to recognize is frailty of our own plans. We not only need to plan, but allow for the possibility for those plans to change. First of all, our plans need to be subject to God’s authority. We don’t just go about our fully planned out day, without allowing room for God to make changes to our plans. This is also crucial to our success. Having God involved in our plans shows wisdom and humility on our part.

AV Proverbs 24:10: “[If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small.” Like I mentioned earlier, we need to have strength when we face these things we can’t anticipate. We can’t fold under the pressure. This verse indicates something that adversity does for us. It gives us an accurate measure of how much we can take.

AV Col 1:11: “Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;” I believe what we need, when under pressure, is strength and endurance. But that strength and endurance needs to based and rooted in Him. Not only does adversity give us an accurate measure of our strength, but an accurate measure of ours strength in Him. We know when we are facing a series of failures in our life that we need to become stronger in Him.

AV Micah 7:8: “Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.” Finally, we need to be confident that we can overcome. And we need to be confident that God has given us the ability to overcome and be successful. This verse is a verse of boldness and confidence. It’s saying, “Things may look like a mess right now, I may look like I’m down for the count. But don’t get excited thinking that you’ve beat me. It’s not over, and I’m not done. God is in this fight with me. And He’s going to see me through the darkness.”

AV Col 1:11: “Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;”

 

Sometimes talking to someone else can be really confusing. We can start out on a subject and think we’re on the same page. However, as we go further along we get the feeling we’re not. And while it sounded like we were talking about the same thing at the beginning, we realize we’re now confused. And the reason we’re confused is because we were using the same word but just had different definitions for the same words.

Having clear definitions from the beginning really simplifies things. We don’t have to wonder what the other person is talking about. We also can start the conversation on the same footing. What I’ve noticed in our culture today is that how some things are defined has become a subjective thing. It’s become this malleable thing that can change from one moment to the next. And it can all depend on the person you’re talking to. But if how we define things can be so arbitrarily changed from one moment to the next, how can we really be sure of anything? And if how we define things in this world can change so quickly, and so dramatically, how can that world continue to exist?

There is this new buzz word that has pervaded our society. That word is “tolerance”. This word seems to be the source of what has become our murky definition of things. And in the name of tolerance we have become afraid to define things for what they are. So, I’m wondering if maybe we’re changing the definition of what the word “tolerance” means as well. Someone once said, “You have the right to your own opinions, but you don’t have the right to your own facts.” Maybe that is at the heart of how we have come to define what is right and wrong?

I can be tolerant of someone else’s views and opinions. But does that mean I allow them to redefine fundamental truth? I think most people would agree that there are laws of morality that define and guide our society. It seems we used to agree more on what these laws were. But it has now become a much more subjective measure, where each person decides morality for themselves. But is this reasonable? Can a realm like that continue to exist? Let’s take some examples from the natural realm. Say one person believes that a red light means stop and green light means go. But another person believes the opposite. That can not only cause a lot of chaos, but be quite dangerous as well, couldn’t it? Or, someone believes in the fundamentals of gravity, but another person doesn’t. You might say, but these things are obvious. I agree. But let’s use the natural realm as a way of understanding the moral realm, or if I you like, the spiritual realm. If we were to extrapolate from the natural laws to understand moral laws we would be forced to conclude that since natural laws are clearly defined, moral laws would have to be as well. Since subjectivity in the natural world would create chaos, how could it not in the moral or spiritual world as well?

We don’t even need to guess at the outcome of a society that allows their moral fabric to be remade into an image of man’s own liking. There are examples in history that have clearly displayed that result for us. Societies like Rome come to mind. Moral fabric matters. And our definition of that moral fabric matters.

Don’t get wrapped up in the system. Sounds like something a conspiracy theorist would say, doesn’t it? But what does it mean? And would a conspiracy theorist have a point to some degree?

I’ve heard a lot of conspiracy theories on different things. I would even admit that I lean in that direction myself. However, some conspiracy theories are just plain crazy. I’m not really interested in hearing about theories saying we didn’t really land on the moon in 1969. Or, theories about what happens at area 51. There are some things, however, where it’s important what we believe. And it’s important that we are believing something that’s in line with the truth. My personal feeling is that there are two kinds of people. There are those who believe conspiracy theories because they want to believe they’re true. Then there are those who are willing to believe conspiracy theories because they just want to know the truth. I would place myself in the latter category. And whether they qualify as conspiracy theories, I guess, is a matter of debate.

But we don’t even have to be talking about conspiracy theories here. I hate to call it cynicism, suggesting that we only become jaded as we become older. But we do generally gain, what I would call, a healthy degree of cynicism. We learn as we get older not to just believe everything we hear from anywhere. We have to learn to test whether what we’re hearing makes sense. And that goes for anything we hear no matter the supposed credibility of the source.

The reason I bring up the topic is this—we can easily find ourselves being influenced by the world around us, whether overtly or covertly. We can fall in to patterns of thinking and beliefs that aren’t true based on what someone else says, or even a group of people are saying. A person can experience a degree of “brainwashing” and not even realize it’s happening. And I hesitate to even call it that. This doesn’t even have to happen as a result of a group of people conspiring together to perpetrate a conspiracy. It can easily happen just due to the fact that we, as people, tend to fall into the same patterns of thinking without realizing it. There’s a great value in being a free and independent thinker.

And that’s not to say that we go around suspicious of everything and everyone. That often results in people moving into the mountains, without electricity, and completely separating themselves from society—living “off the grid” as they say. That is what I would call an unhealthy response. I guess what I would advocate is someone who is fully engaged with people and society, but also is not afraid to go against the grain. They appreciate other people and what they have to offer, but aren’t so concerned about what other people think that they fall into patterns of thinking that aren’t good or healthy.

 

…Let’s go deeper

There’s a reality that we all face as Christians. That is the fact that we are living in a realm here that is foreign to us. And when we start to get into trouble is when we forget that reality. If this world seems foreign to you, there’s a reason for it.

AV John 15:19: “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” There’s a degree to which a Christian stands out in this world. It’s a different way of living. Jesus stated this so that we would not think it strange when we experience friction from other people. We are like salmon swimming upstream—going against the flow. And that’s not always going to be easy. We need to be prepared for difficulty and resistance.

AV John 17:16: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” Jesus modeled for us perfectly the reality that we are in the world but not of the world. This is displayed in the way Jesus fully engaged with people when he was here on this earth. He cared about people, and not just any people, but he took time for the least of the least. Yet He never fell prey to acting or thinking in patterns like the people He engaged. He was here to show them how to live—an agent of change. This is the example he set for us.

AV 2 Corinthians 6:17: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,” Not falling prey to this world system also involves our behavior being distinct from the world in which we live. It’s distinctly different, and it should be. Many of these things involve us not acting in ways that are contrary to God and His word. Primarily this means not living in a worldly manner, but living a clean life.

AV 1 John 4:1: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” The Bible also talks to us about things we believe within the realm of Christianity. Sometimes we can be in the midst of what we believe is a Christian environment, only to realize that we’re being led astray by thoughts and patterns that aren’t right. That’s why the Word directs us to examine these things. We need to gain a sense of whether the environment we’re in is in line with God and His word.

Ultimately, not becoming of this world means not falling into this world’s pattern of thinking. AV Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” We need to think differently. When we think differently, we’ll act differently. That’s why this verse begins by stating that we keep ourselves from conforming to this world by renewing our minds. And we renew our minds by thinking in line with what’s in the Word. This is how we begin to establish God’s good, acceptable, and perfect will in our lives.

AV John 15:19: “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”

AV John 17:16: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”

AV 2 Corinthians 6:17: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,”

AV 1 John 4:1: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”

Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

 

I was thinking about pride. It’s something we all have to deal with. I have to face it every day myself. The more I think about it, though, the more I see it for what it is.

Pride is something that, if you ask pretty much everyone if they’re prideful, they’ll most likely say, “No.” Especially the people who are the most prideful. They seem to see it in themselves less than anyone. I think it seems like it’s the pride that lies to them. So, that if they ask themselves if they’re prideful, the pride itself lies to them and says, “No, that’s not you. That’s not your style.” So, many people go on being their prideful selves and can’t even see it. That makes it a difficult issue to ever try and address, doesn’t it? How do you start to deal with an issue you don’t even realize you have?

Some of us mask our pride with something called false humility. False humility is really when we get a compliment and we try to downplay what the person said. We make it look like we’re trying to shift attention away from ourselves, but in reality, we’re actually fishing for a compliment. We may be saying on the outside, “Oh, I’m not that great.” But on the inside we’re saying, “Yeah, I’m pretty great.” This doesn’t necessarily have to happen when we receive a compliment. It can sometimes happen, too, just when we use self-deprecating humor. We may appear to be taking attention off ourselves, but it’s really a covert attempt to draw attention to ourselves.

So, why did I write the title like I did? Well, I guess I was using it as a metaphor. Because pride seems to be like a bad relationship that you just can’t seem to let go. You know you shouldn’t be hanging around it, or listening to it, but the pride lies to you about itself even being a bad thing. And if you just keep listening to it, you’ll never let it go. Pride will never say for you to let it go. It will just keep getting you into deeper and deeper trouble.

The reason pride gets us into trouble is because we lose perspective. We get an inflated sense of self, and a huge blind spot to our faults. This will likely create the scenario where we end up tripping over our faults down somewhere down the road. And sometimes we can end up doing it in spectacular fashion. But the ironic thing is that this can often be the best thing for us. There’s nothing like a disastrous failure to bring a renewed sense of perspective to our lives. So, maybe I should welcome the failures just for this reason alone—it helps keep me humble. The main thing is, though, that I don’t want ultimately fail. I want to, at some point, learn from my failures. This is probably why a wise person, as they get older, is more likely to be humble and have a clearer perspective of themselves. They’ve learned the lesson about the cruelty of pride and they don’t want to have to repeat the lesson.

 

…Let’s go deeper

 

Well, the Bible has a lot to say about pride. Probably because it’s such a damaging vice. Pride was one of the first sins ever committed. Lucifer fell when he decided to exalt himself above God. This didn’t just happen overnight, though. The pride had been building until one day it caused his fall.

AV Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” This Proverb is a universal truth. We see it happen every day. People who got too full of themselves and it ultimately led to their destruction or failure. The sad thing is they most likely didn’t even see it coming. But they were blindsided when their pride reached its height, and it was reflected in their failure.

In AV Galatians 6:3 it says, “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.” When we fall prey to pride, we are really only deceiving ourselves. And often the enemy tempts us with pride to help along our failure. He sees us taking hold of pride and he helps along the deception. And it’s usually the deception that makes the failure so great.

However, erectile problems can be extremely frustrating to cialis buy cheap deal with.
So, what’s the solution to this? Well, the answer to pride is humility. AV 1 Peter 5:6, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” What we ultimately need to do is humble ourselves. We need to recognize the pride for what it is. Then we not only humble ourselves, but humble ourselves before God. When we admit our own frailty and acknowledge God’s greatness, he will honor that. He will honor it and, when the time comes, He will make sure we get any recognition we deserve. He will also lift us up out of our mess of failure where the pride caused us to end up.

AV Ps 25:9, “The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.” This verse talks about God guiding the humble person in right ways. When we are humble, God is then able to show us things and teach us things, not only about ourselves, but about Himself. When we’re humble, we’re teachable. And we have a willing heart for Him to show us things.

AV John 3:30: “He must increase, but I [must] decrease.” These are the words of John the Baptist. He recognized for Jesus to increase in his life. He also recognized that for Him to increase, there had to be a corresponding decrease of himself. This is one thing that allowed John to be used so greatly by God. And it’s the same for us. This is what we need to recognize in order for God to work in our lives. And this is what we have to recognize in order for God to use us in greater ways.

AV Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

AV Galatians 6:3 it says, “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.”

AV 1 Peter 5:6, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”

AV Ps 25:9, “The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.”

AV John 3:30: “He must increase, but I [must] decrease.”

 

As an observer of human behavior, and also my own behavior, I’m well aware of our tendency to carry more on our shoulders than we can realistically expect. We worry about things. And we worry about things that we often have no control over.

I have a great deal of experience with worry. What I’ve learned is, what I should have learned by now is the reality of my worries in real life. Worry is a kind of fantasy land in the wrong direction. So, they’re not actually fantasies, they’re kind of like nightmares. So, if you relate it to dreams, it’s kind of like having a nightmare instead of a good dream. You think about all the possibilities of a given scenario and its impact on your life or the people you love. So, you ruminate over negative possibilities. It’s been said that something like 90 percent of what we worry about never happens. That’s a startling statistic. If that’s the case, it would make sense to worry about it when it happens, wouldn’t it?

The reason you’re worried about it is because you haven’t faced it yet. You might say, “That’s not true. I’m worried right now because I am facing it.” I understand. In a way you’re right. But in a way you’re not. Because if you’re facing it right now, what you’re really worried about are the potential negative outcomes of what you’re facing right now. Because if those things had already happened you would no longer be worried. Why would you worry about something if it’s already happened? The worry part would be over, because now all you’re faced with is what to do about it. Which is all we can realistically consider.

Most worries start out with the phrase, “What if…” What we’re worried about are things that don’t yet exist. And if it’s already happened there’s no reason to worry about it. What we’re worried about are things that don’t yet exist. “What if” is a nebulous territory in which to dwell. There’s nothing to grasp hold of because you’re not dealing in reality.

Here’s another reason not to worry. Sometimes, because we were worried about it, we create the very difficulty we were trying to avoid. Say, for instance, I was dating a girl and, for some reason, I get the feeling she’s not interested in me. So, I was worried about her breaking up with me. So, due to that feeling that she’s not interested, I end up breaking up with her. Later on I find out that it had nothing to do with me. She was just going through some difficult things at the time. So, now I’m right in the place I was worried about, based on an assumption. But I created the very thing I was worried about. You see how this stuff works sometimes?

Now, I’m not saying not to use wisdom and prepare for some potential negative outcomes. What I am saying is not to worry about those outcomes. These are fruitless uses of our imaginations.

What we want to focus on are positive outcomes. So, now we’re making decisions based on our hopes and dreams. We’re not making decisions based on our fears and potential failures. Fear will often get us moving in the wrong direction. What we often need is the presence of mind to realize that. But what should we do about the 10 percent that does happen?

 

…Let’s go deeper

I believe the enemy of our souls would like to create negative outcomes in our lives. I also believe that worry is one of the main ways he tries to do that. So, knowing that, what do we do with it?

God has a will and plan for our lives. That’s the big picture. And knowing the big picture, we should act on that knowledge. AV 1 Peter 5:7 says, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” The things we care about are often too heavy for us to carry. And we weren’t designed to carry them. What God wants and desires is for us to trust Him with those things. We often pray about things we’re worried about. But then we keep worrying about them. So, in that case, we’re still carrying it. What we need to do is give it to God and leave it there. Then He can deal with it.

They work by stopping the chemicals cialis sale in australia responsible for breaking down fats. It is extremely useful for reducing breathing problems, flu, bronchitis, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, coughs, convulsions, fatigue and so viagra generika 100mg on.
AV Phillipians 4:6 says, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” The Bible makes clear for us the importance of prayer. Prayer has a purpose. It not only reminds us of the things that we don’t have the capacity to handle. It reminds us that God does have the capacity to handle it. This verse tells us not to be full of care about anything. That can seem impossible at first. But it isn’t. The reason is because, whatever it is, God can handle it. The only question is, “Can we trust Him enough to handle it?” We need to remember to take these things to God. And to do it with a thankful heart.

AV Philippians 4:19 says, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” This is Paul speaking to the church in Philippi. Paul had confidence in God. He says, “But my God…” See, the reason Paul had confidence in God is because He had seen God do things in his own life. This was a personal knowledge he had. That’s the reason he said, “But my God…” He was saying to them, “I’ve had my own problems. And I’ve seen God work in those things. And what He’s done for me, I know He’ll do for you.”

AV Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” The only way to go about trusting God is to do it full speed ahead, with all your heart. Part of that includes not trying to figure things out in our own minds. Sometimes God’s way may include some things we don’t understand. We may have a tendency to try and figure this out. But God has a complete view of the entire picture. We don’t always see these things from our own perspective. That’s why we can’t go by our own understanding. If we acknowledge Him in everything, He will show us what to do. And we can rest in that knowledge. Ultimately, that’s why we never need to worry.

AV 1 Peter 5:7 says, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

AV Phillipians 4:6 says, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

AV Philippians 4:19 says, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

AV Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Sometimes I’m just thankful each day is a new day. Some days don’t go the way you would have liked, or the way you had planned. So, each new day is kind of like a do-over.

I like to think of each new day as a clean slate. Kind of like the chalkboard, in school, that got erased at the end of the day. Whatever was on there before is gone. So, now you got a new start. This is especially true when things don’t go your way. Sometimes you have a run of negative events and you just want to hit the reset button.

After a good night’s sleep, a new morning brings a new set of opportunities. I’ve realized, in times past, that just having a restful night’s sleep can really change your perspective. It’s difficult to pinpoint it when you’re in the moment, but sometimes the day seems overwhelming just because you’re tired. I’ve noticed this when I pay attention to it. Now, I’m able to realize, “Oh, I’m just tired right now. When I get some good sleep things won’t seem so bad.” I think this is partly because when you’re tired, you don’t have the confidence, energy, and mental clarity to face what’s in front of you. Getting good sleep helps with all those things. It recharges your batteries. Like a B12 shot.

But I’m not just thankful for each new day because the last one was so disappointing. That wouldn’t be the right way of seeing things. That isn’t a complete, or proper, perspective. I’m thankful for each new day because of the potential it has. Especially when I start it with the right attitude. Every day I start out on a journey that has endless opportunities. That’s how I must see it. This is what should drive me forward. And when you have that kind of perspective your odds of having a good day are much greater. We have the ability to write a new chapter in our story each day. And I have the opportunity to make the positive changes I want to make in myself and my surroundings.

Sometimes fear can creep in though. And not because things aren’t going well, but because they are. Sometimes things can be going so well that I’m afraid of messing it up. This is when I can’t let fear start to dictate my actions. I can’t just stay there because I don’t want to mess it up. I need to keep moving forward, bravely. So, whether yesterday was a good day or not, I have to courageously move forward.

Even though there can be pressure to put something new on the chalkboard, I’m thankful for the opportunity. We have the value of learning from past experiences. Each day is a new opportunity to learn something new and apply it to our lives. I suppose that’s what wisdom is: a collection of things you’ve learned and now know how to properly apply to your life.

No increase in the dose count and a strict gap of 24 hours to be maintained during the consumption 1) Single dose consumption: The medicine should not be taken by a user of age above 65 as prescription free levitra their cardiovascular system may not tolerate the medicine effect. Instead of extra remedies, brand viagra pfizer gives to turn an advantage to aid diabetics.

For example esophageal motility that causes the constriction of arteries can be atheroma, it is the condition in which a man viagra cialis cheap cannot achieve and maintain hard on. One of the reasons I’m thankful for each new day is because of the things I did wrong the day before. Some of these things are sin. But It says in AV Lamentations 3:22-23 “[It is of] the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness.” This shows us God’s compassion for us. His mercies are new every morning. So, don’t waste God’s mercies. Be thankful for them. Be thankful that He lets us clean our slate and that Jesus provided a way for us to have a new start. Learn from our past failures and move forward with a clean heart.

And one thing we can’t do is beat ourselves up over yesterday. We can’t dwell on the past and move forward at the same time. Once we know we’re forgiven we do better. Because when we know better, we do better. And we move forward with that knowledge. AV Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Paul had things he had to leave in the past. Things he had to forget about so he could move forward. Just like we do. He was saying that he was going to forget about those things, so he could move forward to the goal set before him and all that God had for him.

AV Isaiah 43:18 says, “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.” This verse also emphasizes the need for us to forget about the things of the past. It goes one further, though. See, each new day isn’t just about the things I’m going to do. The plans I have for myself. It’s about the plans God has for my life. Ultimately, I should be excited about the things God is going to do in my life. God wants to do new things in our lives. He wants to show Himself strong on our behalf. This talks here about Him doing a new thing. And we’re going to know it and that it was Him. He wants to do miracles in our lives. And that’s the only explanation we’ll have. That it was Him, and Him working in our lives.

AV Lamentations 3:22-23 “[It is of] the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness.”

AV Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

AV Isaiah 43:18 says, “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.”

Have you ever committed to do something without realizing that time goes faster than you think, and being disciplined can be tougher than you think? That’s kind of happened to me in different areas. But discipline and commitment are important to achieve a desired result.

At the beginning of the year I committed to a reading plan. The plan was to read through the Bible in one year. I was excited about the plan. I didn’t go into it thinking it would be easy. I knew there would be days that I would have difficulty finding time and days I just didn’t feel like doing it. For the most part I’ve been pretty consistent. However, I’ve noticed at times that I might miss 2, 3 or even 4 days. These are the times when I feel pressured and I have to play catch-up. And I’m only making it harder on myself when I do this. Because instead of taking a half hour out of my day to read, now I have to take out maybe an hour more to get back to where I need to be.

One good thing I did, that was actually smart, was I asked a friend to do the 1-year reading plan with me. This kind of helps to keep us both on track. It seems to help knowing that if you’re not staying on course that you have someone to answer to. This is similar to what a friend and I did in college. We both liked to work out and stay in shape. We also knew that there would be days we wouldn’t feel like doing anything. We would either go running or lift weights together. The good thing about this was that on the days one doesn’t feel like going, the other most likely will. Another good thing was that it was more fun to go through it with someone else. Having someone else there kept you company. There was also the added benefit of friendly competition to help push you harder than you might push yourself otherwise.

In either of these instances, I noticed that missing a number of days I was going to cause me to play catch-up. And if I missed too many days that getting back to where I was might just become so difficult that I would end up quitting. That’s why consistency is important in these things. I need discipline so that I can stay on course with the plan. Otherwise, the wheels come off and I just end up in a ditch. The good thing is, when I do get behind, it’s not so far that I can’t catch back up. But the best scenario is to get in that daily routine so that you never have to. A little time set aside each day is a lot easier than one huge chunk of time all at once.

 

…Let’s go deeper

Being consistent and committed to the things we undertake is important. This gets us to the finish line. So, what does the Bible have to say about this?

AV Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.” When we are starting a task the most important thing we can do is to involve God in it. When we commit something to God, He can help make it successful. We often do this through prayer. When we commit something to God He will not only help us with it, but show us the steps we need to take to accomplish it. He will not only bring to pass the thoughts that we have, but He will give us the thoughts and ideas He wants us to have about the matter. Sometimes we may find, when we commit it to God, that He may steer us in a different direction. Or, he may not want us to do it at all. That’s why this step is so important. We don’t want to get into something only to find that He didn’t want us to do it in the first place.

AV John 9:4, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” Being consistent in the work God has given us to do is also important for this reason. We only have so much time on this earth. We want to be accomplishing worthwhile things while we have time. So, we want to be making progress towards our goal each day.

You can have only a single pill in 24 buy viagra appalachianmagazine.com hours and do not have more than desired pills as it can be harmful for the health. AV 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Instead of the example I used in my post being a metaphor, I guess this time it was literal. In starting my reading plan, my end goal is to be approved unto God. So, in doing this, I need to remember that this is the reason I’m doing it. It can end up being something where I’m just going through the motions. It’s easy to start out on a noble task with the best of intentions, only to end up doing it for the wrong reasons. This is not where we want to end up.

AV Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” Having a friend walk through something with you always helps. When my friend and I started on our Bible reading plan, at least at the beginning, we started out asking each other questions, or making comments, on the things we read. That’s kind of what this verse is talking about. We help each other become better than we could become just by ourselves.

AV Proverbs 22:29 says, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men].” When we’re diligent in our tasks, good things will come of it. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean we will stand before an actual king. But it could put you in contact with important people. People that are interested in helping you accomplish what you are doing. People with the same goals in mind that want to come along side you, and partner with you, to get you to the goal for the vision that God has given you.

AV Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”

AV John 9:4, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”

AV 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

AV Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”

AV Proverbs 22:29 says, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men].”

 

Life is something that’s meant to be enjoyed. In our daily attempts just to get through the day, we can easily forget that. We’re too busy a lot of times and we can tend to take life too seriously. In that context, we end up forgetting to enjoy life.

During WWII there was a lot more going on than just a battle of ideas. There was a fight going on for freedom and a way of life. Hitler had, besides his seemingly relentless search for power, other purposes that drove him. Early in his teen years he was rejected from the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He had aspirations of becoming an artist, but they were crushed when they rejected him for having an ‘unfitness for painting’. This affected him and partly drove his passion for art. During the war he led the Nazi effort in one of the greatest efforts in history of plundering priceless works of art, in whatever areas they conquered. Works by the greatest artists in history like Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Picasso, and DaVinci were stolen. Hitler wanted to create the greatest art museum in the world. But in this attempt, he was taking a part of the soul of Western society.

While the war was still going on, a small group of men (architects and artists) were formed that were named ‘The Monuments Men’. There was a movie recently made about them. Anyway, their job was to locate and recover these works of art that were taken during the war. They had a difficult time at first convincing military leadership that this was a worthwhile effort. They succeeded in convincing them, however, and received funding for this effort. The leader of this group made the argument that if you steal an entire generation of a people’s culture, it’s as if they never existed.

It would be easy to make the argument that with all the people dying, who cares about a bunch of art. But it wasn’t just about winning a war. They were also fighting for their way of life. The freedom to go to a baseball game, to enjoy seemingly superfluous elements in life, to enjoy the simple things in life, were all up for grabs. Because how much is life worth if you can’t really enjoy it? Isn’t that just a kind of existence, but not a life?

We can sometimes get into a survival mentality. I’ve had this happen to me before. We feel like we have so much to deal with that I forget to just enjoy life. But we need to remember there are still things to get excited about. We need to have something that we look forward to. Life isn’t just a long list of things that we have to do. Taking time to remember to enjoy life and get excited about things is essential. I think this story about the war, partly, helped me come to that realization.

 

…Let’s go deeper

 

 

The reason I’m talking about getting excited about things is that sometimes we can go through life and wonder if we can get excited about anything anymore. But that’s a dangerous thing. The reason is that you can easily end up living this kind of milk toast existence. Nothing seems exciting. But it’s important that we get excited about something. When we lose our capacity to get excited it can put us in a frame of mind that’s hard to get out of.

AV 1Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Beginning with a grateful heart in everything we do will change our perspective and outlook in everything we go through. We have so much to be thankful for. But we easily forget those things in times of trial. Remembering the things we are thankful for gives us a kind of fuel to keep going.

Various researches have proven that green appalachianmagazine.com viagra online no rx leafy vegetables are abundant in the Internet retail market. AV Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Just being joyful has an amazingly positive effect on us. And it’s not only the effect it has on us, but the effect it can have on others. Other people can feed off of our enthusiasm.

AV Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.” It’s clear in this verse that we are to rejoice in the Lord. The center of our praise and joy is Him. We may get excited about certain things in life, but ultimately He is our source of excitement. We rejoice for all He has done for us, with a thankful heart, like the verse above stated.

AV Psalms 16:11 says, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.” God has not only shown us life, but enjoyment of life. We learn from Him the correct path of life, and that is part of what allows us to enjoy life. Living a good life also provides joy, besides the joy God gives. Not only that, He wants to give us an enjoyable life for eternity.

AV Luke 1:47 says, “And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” The big reason to rejoice is knowing that God has saved us through Jesus’ death on the cross. If you’re a believer and you can’t get excited about anything else, then get excited about this. Knowing and thinking on God’s saving grace can change our perspective and get us excited again about life. And not just life, but an abundant life.

AV 1Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

AV Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”

AV Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.”

AV Psalms 16:11 says, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.”

AV Luke 1:47 says, “And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.”

 

I was thinking something about comparisons. Comparison is a very human reaction. But it’s not a very productive one. We often end up comparing ourselves with others. What about comparing how we feel about something with others?

If I were to think about some things and how I feel about them, I’m sure I feel differently about the same things as you do. For instance, say we’re both basketball players. We both love the game of basketball. However, because we have had different experiences with basketball, and we have different personalities, we each love the game differently. One of us loves it because it’s great exercise and you like shooting 3-pointers. Another person likes it because they like dunking the ball and playing defense. Regardless of how each one loves the game. They still love it. They just love it differently.

While I hesitate placing the label of love on something like basketball, I feel I provides an example for the purposes of an analogy. But let’s apply it to something else. Say for example, our love for our parents. We generally all love our parents. We have an affection and emotional connection with them. But for example, in my family, I have three siblings. We all love our parents. However, I’m sure we all love them differently due to our different experiences and personalities.

So, does that make the feelings any of my siblings have towards them any less valid than any others? No, they aren’t necessarily different in value, but different in kind. So, we all love our parents. But we love them differently. We are all unique, so it stands to reason that our relationships are all unique. No two are probably going to be the same. And one isn’t more important than the other.

I wonder sometimes in our effort to put things in terms we can understand, that we don’t get too concerned about placing more value on one thing than on another. Maybe we think everything has to appear the same to have the same value. But many things look different in life and it doesn’t mean that they’re any less valuable. Differentiation happens in a lot of areas. I think I often find myself placing different values on things just because they look different. But that’s not always the case. And that’s not to say that things that appear different don’t sometimes have different values. It’s just not necessarily always the case. So, sometimes the act of comparing has no value in itself. It’s a useless endeavor in some cases because you’re comparing apples and oranges. They may be equal, but just different.

 

…Let’s go deeper

 

 

I was thinking about each of our relationship’s with God. I came to realize they can all be different as well. While we each have an individual relationship with God, that doesn’t mean that each one has different value. Having said that, while I know we experience God in community with others, our personal growth happens mostly one on one with Him. This is all individual. And while God loves His Church, He loves and treats us all as individuals.

AV Luke 12:7 says, “But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” The proof that God sees us individually is stated in verses like this. This shows how God values each of us as individuals. It would be easy for us each to think, “God is so big, how can He even know or acknowledge my existence? But He does. And He put verses like this in the Bible to show our individual worth.

AV Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” God spoke this to Jeremiah. This shows not only Jeremiah’s individual worth, but that God knew Him throughout the spans of time. Before He was even born God knew Him.

This allows achieving a stronger erection for tadalafil canadian pharmacy a longer time period. This shaft enters a free shipping viagra gearbox which functions to enhance the rotation of the rotor blades. AV James 1:22 says, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” This shows not only how important doing the word is, but that we each have to each individually do it ourselves. Someone else can’t do it for us. We have to act on it and make it a reality in our own lives.

AV Galatians 6:4 says, “But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.” Here again this shows that we need to act on what we know, but examine whether we are acting on what we know. We can test ourselves in a sense. Kind of like when we were in school and we took a test. Well, we have to test ourselves and examine whether we are passing that test.

AV Matthew 6:6 says, “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Finally, we need to each have our individual prayer time. This is where He can speak to each of us specifically. He can show us things we need to do, things we need to change, and just spend time talking to Him. And we can do this throughout the day as well. Driving to work, at work, or just mowing the lawn. Since He is always with us, we can have that one-on-one dialogue anytime.
