Do you want to excel in life and learning? Then learn to embrace what God is telling you. Take every morsel of it and apply it to your life and use it as a point of reference to see if you are on track or not. If you don’t embrace it… if you feel pride start to boil up when you hear that word from God for you and despise Him for meddling in your life then get used to being an idiot on a path of destruction. He looks at the heart of the individual and sees whether or not the motivations are pure and in His love. When they are He will see to it that good things will start happening for us. When the motivations are not rooted in purity and love but instead rooted in selfishness it will bring destruction and death to that individual. This individual will get beat up with every battle that comes along and will be swayed by circumstances very easily. The pure and loving hearts will not even be shaken by the trials that try to come along.
A wife that has this same pure and loving heart will show honor to her husband at all times. But the wife that is selfish will talk down and destroy him. Be sure that you guard your heart from those who will try to gossip, manipulate, deceive and seduce you and instead meditate on the truth from God only. The deceivers are trying to destroy you for their own selfish gain and if you speak out the truth to them they will be forced to shut up because they have no REAL defense. In due time the battles will become to great for these individuals and they will eventually perish but through it all you are still standing there unshaken for all to see and they will respect you and trust you and so will God. They will realize that the one that was speaking evil was not looking out for their best interests but their own selfish gain and they will turn from those people. They talked a big talk for all to see but when it came down to it they lacked substance.
God has given so much to be entrusted with and we should be faithful to be good stewards over these things. We must take care of, look after, and make sure that what we have been given is growing to the fullest. This takes work, hard work, but know that if we simply work it that it will prosper. The deceptive bunch will throw their goods around to make an open show so that people will think that they are great but they have no concept of the harm that they are doing. When things start to run out they will blame others and do what they can to destroy so that they can get their goods. This attitude and deception will catch up with them and they will have no defense against the truth. And those of us with the right hearts will come through this attack unscathed.
It doesn’t really matter what others may say through all of this. It really matters what each of us say individually for our own self being. What we say, we will have. The deceptive folks will convince themselves that they are right and no one can tell me differently. They will have an attitude that they are above any type of rebuke and correction and despise anyone that would try to bring it to light. They will get loud about it and lash out for all to see while those who are wise will hold their tongue and meditate on what God is telling them. They will realize where they have missed it, repent and get right with God quickly along with anyone that they may have wronged in the process.
If we want to be in good standings we will speak God’s word only in every situation and speak of His goodness and love for all of us. We will speak life only into every situation and this is a life that can’t be destroyed. The deceptive ones will twist and pervert that word to their own favor and some will speak against it. They will try to tear people down around them to make themselves look better and it may seem for a moment that they are winning but they are going to soon realize the destruction that is coming to them. These people walk around thinking that others have the same mentality that they have and because that they walk in total distrust that not only manifests with others but it is a mistrust that goes towards God. No matter how hard they try they will never be happy or satisfied. So let’s speak the truth only! That is where the peace that passes all understanding comes from. That is where the true joy that is our strength abides! That is the key to our abundant life!
Do you want to upset God? Then lie, boast, and be selfish. Do you want to please God? Then walk by faith that is motivated by love and speak the truth only!
Do you want to be a slave for the rest of your life? Then sit back and become complacent and watch things around you rot away until the terror and fear attacks. Do you want to be the Royalty that God has called you to be? Then get to work! Put your hand to the plow and be faithful with what has given you to see that it prospers. Take in every word that God gives you because that will bring life and happiness to you as you work. Be careful who you fellowship with because there may be some selfish ones that will try to slip in and take some venomous jabs to get your thinking off of what God has told you. Most importantly… don’t give up! Finish the course because that diligence will bring you great reward. It will bring you that abundant life with no death or destruction.
