Today is the day I can strive to gather worldly riches, which includes pursuing pleasures of the flesh, or, spiritual ones; if I choose worldly riches, I stand in spiritual bankruptcy, and, have no one to blame but myself...
It isn't that I won't trip, stumble, or fall, in this day, I very well, may, because the crafty one does not like me, well, my allegiance to THE LORD; instead it is that I SEEK what is right, and, TRY to improve, and, that I ALWAYS arise after the fall...
Each day IS an opportunity to correct what needs correcting, and, to come closer to THE LORD! Each day IS an opportunity to serve HIM, and, others! Each day IS THE DAY that counts!!!
We have a strange tendency to take time for granted, when, we know NOT the length of our days! Why we do this, probably finds it's base in deception! So many have the belief that what they do with this time, is NOT imperative to THE DAY of THE LORD, but, according to Scripture, it IS! THE LORD is not seeking cold, nor, lukewarm spirits to share eternity with, HE is seeking the sincere, the devout, the principled, those who have SEEN, despite the heavy shroud, THE LIGHT, THE TRUTH, THE WAY, in MORE than casual acceptance, or understanding! HE is seeking those who KNOW their TRUE self, the spirit, understanding the meaning of serving HIM, and others, through the TRUTH of LOVE, and, have gone the distance to improvement, and, development, IN HIS example!!!
Spiritual bankruptcy is NOT something we should allow to happen! Leaving the spirit to tend for itself, while chasing dreams, and, other things of the world, with THE LORD in the background, is just wrong-minded thinking! The spirit IS the TRUE connector TO THE LORD, and, belongs to HIM, though, if we deny it, HE will cast it in the eternal fires of damnation, for it serves NO purpose, whatsoever!!!
THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE, means to TURN to THE LORD, with ALL of your being, in surrender of the world's hold on your mind, body, and, heart, that, your spirit is released from the carnal, egocentric holds! CHRIST, our LORD, told us to pick up our cross, and, follow after HIM; this means we are to FREE ourselves from the world, and, live IN HIM, in the spirit, for we, IF we are OF HIM, are no longer subject to the world!!!
Some find it SO confusing that the world has SO much to offer; this is for the purpose of TRUTH! We are to LEARN to negate the enticements of the world, because the world is EVER passing away, and, will exist no longer, once HE has returned to gather HIS Chosen! This is a testing ground of the FAITHFUL, and, a playground of deception! It isn't that in this life on this planet doesn't have use for the FAITHFUL, it is that we become knowledgeable enough to discern the difference between, what is useful to us, and, what is hindering, binding, and, dangerous!!!
IF THE LORD IS PREEMINENT IN our lives, HE WILL BLESS us, as we need! Yet, IF HE is NOT our FOCUS, we are in great danger!!!
WHAT does it take for us to GRASP HIS HEIGHT? HE, ALONE, IS THE AUTHOR, and, CREATOR of existence, of ALL, and, EVERYTHING, therein! WHY don't we place SIGNIFICANCE upon HIM? HOW can our sights be on that which is, dangerous for us, and, not on HIM???
People seem to forget the fact that the evil one is present in the Churches of the world, and, is teaching many (2 CORINTHIANS 11: 14)!!!
We are told to 'BE HOLY, BECAUSE I AM HOLY'! We are a Chosen race, a Royal Priesthood, a HOLY nation (1 PETER 2:9). Read also, EPHESIANS 4: 22! So, WHY do we imagine that it is SO easy to obtain? Sure, we are told that by FAITH we are saved, yet, it is also written that those of THE LORD, are EASY to SEE, by the fruits they bear, AND, these fruits ARE the alignment, TO HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, HIS example! The FAITHFUL are, DAY by gift of day, working to IMPROVE the spirit, to it's rightful reflection OF HIM!!!
I can go on, and on, but, suffice it to say, TODAY IS the final analysis of the truth of my heart, my choices, my life, thus, I PRAY that I AM HONOURING HIM, THE TRUE GLORY of ALL I seek, and, desire!!!

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, and lean NOT on your own understanding!!!
DEVOUR, and, DIGEST THE WORD, DAILY, that HE IS LEADING YOU, and, NO ONE else!!!
Just because a certain ideal is popularized DOESN'T mean it is TRUE, and so, BE CAREFUL!!!
What IF what you have learned is only PART of the WHOLE? Are you willing to be wrong in the end???
FOLLOW NO ONE except THE LORD!!!
I LOVE YOU, *GOD* BLESS and BE with us ALL!!!
