I HAVE OPINIONS, YET, *GOD* IS IN CONTROL!!!

On the matter of opinions, and concerns, I, like anyone, have LOTS of them, but, in discipline, have learned to keep them as closely to myself as is feasible, maybe airing them most with my intimate people, because I keep wondering in the midst of THE LORD'S PLAN, what significance could they possibly have, save for IF they might create change, or good? If they aren't geared towards creating change or good, then, they have the probability of disturbing the flow of HIS PLAN, and causing more negatives!!!

One of the keys to a close relationship with THE LORD, is ALLOWING HIM to do HIS work, and so, we begin to see that much of what we consider important, is already being handled by HIM, thus, as a part of FAITH, we refrain from causing rips in the tides of HIS movement...

There are at least 31 Scriptures concerning opinions, which often, are in line with judgements, condemnation, and other negatives. Building UP righteousness involves a LOT of conscientiously conscious consideration, before we speak, act, and react: to be able to retrain the mind from impulsiveness to conscientiousness, ADDS to us greatly, both now, and forever...

We are, in CHRIST, of the spirit, not the self; opinions are self motivated!!!

Opinions, and worldly concerns are inclusive to the mindset of KEEPING our thoughts on THAT ABOVE, NOT on matters of the world! This is crucial to FAITH, and living in FAITHFULNESS! Opinions incite, and divide; we ALL have them, no doubt, yet, understanding leads us to realizing that, for the most part, they have no wholesome outcome, or purpose!!!

We live in a world of opinions, off the tongue blather, gossip, and other unnecessary expressions that do more harm than good! One who aligns to CHRIST THE LORD, is to become as is HE, gentle, meek, kind, LOVING, caring, compassionate, and resigned to diving into the troubled waters of the matters of the world! It isn't easy to do, still, IS beneficial to our walk with HIM! To learn such lessons, also, aids in training the toughest area of the human condition, the tongue (there are about 120 Scriptures about the tongue!), which is said to be a fire of malice, a restless evil, full of deadly poison (JAMES 3)! CHRIST says that it isn't what goes into our mouths that defiles us, it is what comes out of them (MATTHEW 15)! Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who make it a friend shall eat its fruit (PROVERBS 18: 21)! Everyone must accept the consequences, of benefit or harm to himself, which his words, actions, and reactions produce, SO we SEE, that ALWAYS, there IS improvement to be made!!!

Also, there are more than enough people airing all their opinions of the problems of the world, including those of The Cloth, so, my input, UNLESS it offers something POSITIVE, useful, or good, has no bearing on what is, and to spend time debating the world, is to take away from building UP CHRIST! As I said, it IS ALL IN HIS CONTROL ANYWAY, so what do we HOPE to accomplish from so much expression???

WHEN I HAVE something SIGNIFICANT to say, or contribute, I jump out there, though, this too, after careful consideration! You have seen me publish a few opinions, but, for the most part, I keep my thoughts on improving the spirit TO THE GLORY of *GOD*, because that is what HE asks of us!!!

There is LITTLE in this life that is new; history repeats itself, over, and over again, and every angle HAS been presented, debated, argued over, fought over, and still remains the same now, as it was then, SO what's the point? There are PLENTY of ways to fill our minds, hearts, and spirits with POSITIVES, which begins in FOCUSING UPON THE LORD! It is a matter of respect, first FOR HIM, then, for others, and IF we lived as HE prescribes, opinions would be eradicated with all other negatives! And FOR SURE, if we channeled as much into PRAYER, there would be miracles galore!!!
