HEAVENLY INCLINED...: *GOD* IS MY EVERYTHING!!!

Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor

Psalms 138 (A Psalm of David)
1/ I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2/ I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3/ In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4/ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5/ Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6/ Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7/ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8/ The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands... AMEN!!!

One CANNOT earn GRACE, it is HIS own ESSENCE; a gift, still, IF one claims to be IN HIS GRACE, we ARE to, or, OUGHT to, be reflections of that GRACE! 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1, tells us not to take HIS GRACE in vain! This means, living in LOVE, morality, ethics, virtue, righteousness, and, spiritual improvement, TOWARDS, spiritual maturity, WHILE, visibly BEING as LIGHTS, beaming OF *GOD*, beckoning the world, TO THE LIGHT! Righteousness MEANS, conduct in conformity with *GOD'S* WILL, and, "Be HOLY because I AM HOLY!", therefore, indicating that knowledge, wisdom, and, effort, DO, apply TO the righteous!!! NEVER forget, we were grafted in, and, if we do not bear fruit, as a dead branch, we will be pruned out, just as were, the natural branches!!!

We are not saved by works, instead, works PROVE HIM in us: they identify HIS own...

IF I claim ONENESS with *GOD*, through CHRIST JESUS, I am DEAD TO THE WORLD, THUS, LIVING as HIM, which is, hopefully, witnessed IN, and, THROUGH, my every thought, action, and, reaction; MEANING, I am, THROUGH CONSCIOUS application OF THE WORD, HIS COMMANDS, HIS WILL, REFLECTING righteousness, not, merely, FAITH! I become, the TRULY FRUITFUL branch, of THE VINE, the TRUE member of THE BODY/THE CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS, and, TESTIFY, then, GLORIFY, BOLDLY, BY my thoughts, actions, and, reactions, HIS name, because, HE IS WORTHY, and, IN HIS LOVE, has SHOWN me, how I OUGHT to exist, to which, I eagerly, adapt, and, comply!!!

MATTHEW 5:48...
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect

1 PETER 1:14-16...
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."

ROMANS 12:2...
Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.

Conduct, in conformity to *GOD'S* WILL, marks the righteous; it is NOT because of guilt, or, ancient Laws, but, because of LOVE; LOVE for *GOD*, self, then, others! CHRIST JESUS gave us Commandments to live by, of which, the first is to LOVE *GOD*, with all of your mind, heart, and, soul; the second is, to LOVE one another!

LOVE COMPELS us to LIVE IN HIM, through conduct which conforms to *GOD*; in other words, morality, ethics, doing good, and, being good, and, ever striving to improve the spirit! It is about REFLECTING THE TRUTH, for ALL to bear witness to, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, RADIANTLY SHINING OF HIS POWER, GRACE, and, MERCIES!!!

It IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, baby, all about LOVE!!!

MATTHEW 4: 17...From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

JOHN 14:15..."If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

NOTE: I do not intend to preach, rather to reach; to stir up, awaken, to inspire, and, bring forth, in discussion, that which is, perhaps, dormantly existing in the heart of hearts, thus, little, or, no, sugar coatings, just THE WORD of *GOD*, the TRUTH, along with some of my thoughts. And truth is, I am reminding myself always, as I practice these reminders, in the best of my abilities, and capacities, while RELYING on THE LORD to lead me on that narrow PATH---> MATTHEW 7: 14: "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it... TO *GOD* BE ALL GLORY...

GOD IS MY EVERYTHING!!!

*GOD* is my fortress, my rock, my refuge! HE is the leader of all leaders, the ruler of all rulers, and, the KING of all KINGS! HE is as my breath, imperative to my life, and, unto HIM, let all GLORY, and, honour be raised, continually, and, forever! AMEN!!!

No matter my schedule, no matter how little time I have, I HAVE to pay respect to *GOD* BEFORE all else; it is how I begin, and, end, and, weave the hours of my day! ONLY HE is worthy of such, and, because I KNOW that HE is unrelenting towards us, I, also, am unrelenting towards HIM! I do not leave HIM behind after anything, or, any day; HE is imminently placed foremost in the hours of my day, from upon waking, to when my eyes become heavy, and, sleep comes to me, at night! Throughout the hours of my day, I talk with HIM, I consider HIM, I regard HIM, I worship HIM, I PRAISE HIM, and, I thank HIM, for, HE IS my day!!!

When we turn our lives over to HIM, we must do so with the fullness of our efforts, our thoughts, our hearts, and, our actions, that it is viably evident that HE IS our EVERYTHING! In doing so, the windows to Heaven are opened, that HE can hear us, and, provide for us, in every way HIS WILL determines is necessary, and so, FAITH is proven! I raise up to my *GOD*, for only HE can guide, protect, and, lead me in the hours of this day, which HE decided that I should have! I thank HIM for this day, as, only HE knows the numbers of my days, and surely, I cannot take any of them for granted! I MUST make each day count as GLORY unto HIM, for that is my primary role; to uplift *GOD* OVER all else, for HE IS ABOVE all else! Thank you FATHER, for this day, and, for all the wondrous bounty YOU bring my way!!!

ALIGNING to *GOD* might seem like work to many, but, in truth, it is the path to a more optimized life, in countless ways, for *GOD* favours those whom 'get' it!!!

HALLELUJAH! PRAISE the LORD, our *GOD*, our sure, and, present LIGHT which leads us to victory over the woes of the world, and, the faltering of our lives! Eternally GRACIOUS is HIS MERCY, and, irrevocable is the power of HIS LOVE for HIS CREATION, to which HE pours forth all provision, endlessly, that it continues IN HIS NAME, forever, and, forever! May we NEVER tire in our gratitude, PRAISE, worship, and, LOVE of HIM, that HE, indeed, knows the GLORY ONLY HE is worthy of! Let us pray to HIM, unceasingly, that we are ONE with HIM, and, that our lives improve, from the inside out, hourly, as a living testament to our KING, our *GOD*, our EVERYTHING!!! AMEN!!!
