In any given day, how often do you think of *GOD*? And, when you think of HIM, where do your thoughts lead???
When I think of *GOD* was is quite frequent, these days, I think of the LOVE HE has bestowed upon me, and, has taught me, as well as fear of HIM! Some don't believe that you should fear the LORD, our *GOD*, even though it is mentioned like, 385 times in the BIBLE, and, is mentioned in, nearly, every BOOK of the BIBLE! We are taught to fear *GOD*, then, to LOVE HIM, though, we are taught to fear not, concerning what we are up against in this life, which is mentioned, they say, 365 times!!!
I fear HIM, indeed! The more I learn, the more I fear! The kind of fear of which we are to experience is based on REGARD, and, RESPECT of HIS HIGHNESS, of HIS PERFECTION, and, HIS ability to bring HIS wrath against one, and, all! It is fear of LOSING sight of HIM, and, rights to HIM; like, being a Child all alone in the world, with no one to protect, comfort, or, care for us! It is not a fear as in the context of being abused, instead, in the context of HIS ALMIGHTY POWER(S), and, HIS being the ONLY SURE existence, AND, source of GOODNESS/RIGHTEOUSNESS/MERCY, forever, and, ever...
I, once, led myself, near, to sure death, in my thoughts, and, actions; even though, *GOD* was within me, and, was in some region of my thoughts, HE was NOT the foremost in my mind, or, heart, or, soul. I would have argued this with anyone who pointed it out to me, because I have always been, quite spiritual, and, spiritually motivated, but, it was not UNTIL, HE became the FOCUS of my life, that I could see the path I was heading on was deceptive, and, dangerous...
HOPE has coupled with fear of HIM, and FAITH, has increased! I exist in FAITHFUL HOPE that, in my sincere efforts to become ONE with HIM, my past will be wiped away, as is promised! I shudder when I recall the life I once led, the things I did, without regard to HIM, and, what they caused me to suffer, as well as, where they were leading me! I have cried, I have repented, I have SEEN the need to align to HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, VIA, my ways of deception!!!
Were we ever, really taught HOW EASY IT IS to sin? I don't think so! Was it ever drilled into our beings, that we would KNOW for sure, when we are sinning? Did anyone ever explain the difference between conscious sin, and, innocent sin? Where was the instruction we relied upon from those teaching us? Thus, so many of us, are ignorantly existing, outside of, and, away from the ONLY source of life, happiness, and, fulfillment we have! How unsettling is this???
I have read THE BIBLE all of my life, all the way through, but, I tell you what, the more I read, the more I learn, and, back when HE wasn't the focus of my life, the TRUTH evaded me! HE IS THE WORD, and so, to stay IN THE WORD, is imperative to KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, TRUTH, and, SAFETY! HE LOVES us, and, KNOWS us, so explicitly, that HE CREATED this, manual of instruction THAT we find our way through the darkness, confusion, and, delusion! How awesome is HE, how GENIUS is HE, that HE KNEW BEFORE we were CREATED, what we would be up against, then, PROVIDED for us, in ALL circumstances, and, instances??? It, simply, blows my mind, in retrospect, and, consideration!!!
*GOD*, my LORD IS the first thing I think of when I open my eyes, in the morning, and, the last thought on my lips, as I go to sleep, as well as, the meat of my day! HE is my sustainment, my provision, my source of ALL things wholesome, and, good! NOTHING else is as imperative to my life, as is HE, and, I, no matter what, will HONOUR, OBEY, COMPLY, REGARD, RESPECT, LOVE, and, CHERISH HIM, and, HIS presence, until the end of my life!!!
PRAISE the LORD, my *GOD*, for HE, SURELY, IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING, and, I THANK HIM for leading me to awakening, and, receiving!!! AMEN!!!
PHILIPPIANS 4:8...
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
