Waiting

There's nothing more aggravating than waiting for something.  Waiting seems to be a cornerstone of our life here on earth. Very, very things come instantly, and if they do they are usually not what we expected in the long run.  Unless they are a gift from God; to which we have prayed for, or God has purposes more in line to touch someone else that we can't see.

There's also a bad time to wait too long, when you need to decide something that could be life-saving, like our life after death.  Do you know where you are going after you die?  Are you still sitting on the fence waiting for more information? There's a story in Matthew 25 that tells about 10 maidens waiting to meet the Bridegroom, 5 were wise and filled their lamps with oil and 5 were foolish and waited too long to get oil for their lamps.  Only the 5 wise prepared ones were allowed in.

Luke 17:24 tells us how Jesus returns; "As the lightning flashes across the sky and lights it up from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day".

There will be lots of Joy and Sorrow on that day and we have the option to choose which one right now!!

Time

It's a hindrance when you can't wait, it's precious when you want more, an annoyance when you're in trouble, and a blessing when you're on top of the world.  Time never changes speed, I mean it's consistently accurate and methodically precise.

When you finally realize how much time you've wasted on addictive behaviours, you're heart broken.  Just when you get your act together you have the opportunity to look back at a path of destruction in your life.  We feel bad but maybe we shouldn't.

Job 35:8 "Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself, & your righteousness only other people."

You've learned valuable lessons in life, some things that others can never realize on their own. Once you understand that with every hurt God can put to good use in shaping others. By knowing this we can finally see victory in the troubled areas in our thinking.

Blog Trouble

It would appear that Blogspot is working on eliminating the blogging service as there are hundreds of users having the same trouble with their email-out program again, as well as the whole service is now manual. 

Guiltless

If we don't know that anything we are doing is wrong then we are guilt free.  Being held accountable of something that we didn't know was wrong seems unjust and unfair.  But just because we didn't know at the time doesn't mean it isn't wrong in the eyes of others.

John 9:41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains."

God shows us what we have done in the past and allows us to decide for ourself if our actions are acceptable in the eyes of God, or not.  God doesn't punish us but allows the results of our actions to govern us individually. Negative people will feed off of our bad behavior & positive people will feed off of our positive behavior.

Everything we do, God gives us the freedom and opportunity to choose wisely or poorly.

Offensive

Most people don't like hearing the truth because it means we have to change or at least accept failure in some sort of way.  Change and failure are just ways for us to grow in the future.  It may not help us right now though, first we have to get over the initial shock and guilt.

What we shouldn't do is take offense to those that are providing an alternate look at things.  God is correcting us and also provides a way out of our situation, but we usually don't see it until after. 

Galatians 4:16, "Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?"

 It's easy to take offense in situations because things don't go the way we planned.  God will judge the truth in everything when the time comes, so we can wait on that truth.  Right now all we can do is our best to stay truthful.

Email Problems

Blogspot is having trouble with their email-out program again.  We keep repairing it but it keeps breaking.  You will not be receiving emails until they find a solution to it.

Anger

 Anger is not wrong, nor is it looked down on in the Bible.  If you read the Bible you will see that God gets angry.  We see earthlings get angry and that reveals the worst side of people. If we don't have a healthy mental balance then our anger turns into revenge, spite, hatred, rage, name calling, malice, viciousness, slander, abuse, and scheming. Totally self-centered!

Eph 4:26, "In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

All anger is or should be is a way to reveal your inner passions.  To let people know that they have reached your boundary of what you are comfortable with.  Problem is, we don't know how to stop there.  We let other things control our anger; if we don't get our way, if you're making me work when I don't want to, you won't love me, I want that, I'm too stressed, I'm unable to talk to people, I'm tired, etc.

So in order to be angry in a fair way, we need to not be afraid, selfish, or avoid the truth, but rather pull our own weight. Sharing the truth should make us feel better, just as anger relieves the pressure.
