HEAVENLY INCLINED...: *GOD* IS WORKING FOR THE GOOD OF ALL IN CREATION, WITHOUT FAIL!!!

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 WORKING FOR THE GOOD OF ALL IN CREATION, WITHOUT FAIL!!!

One reason we are encouraged to step into, and remain in THE LORD, is that, in doing so, what is POSITIVE is working in us, through us, and all around us, constantly, consistently, at ALL times, in ALL instances...

When we step away from HIM, into what is negative, then, negatives breed from that negative, and before we know it, we are enmeshed in total negativity, and while we want to escape it, it becomes very difficult to do so, because it like, snow-balled into much more than we imagined. Not only that, what is negative, and NOT of *GOD* is unhealthy, body, mind, and spirit! What IS POSITIVE breeds POSITIVE, and what is of *GOD* IS HEALTHY, for the entire being, even if negatives are present around us, when we remain IN HIM, their power is diminished, then, eradicated...

*GOD* IS LOVE; LOVE is the essence and the power of *GOD*, therefore, ALL which is right, just, and good, and so, ALL that is OF HIM, is PURELY OPTIMAL, and OPTIMIZING! THE LORD *GOD* IS THE LIGHT, therefore, the darkness cannot exist where HE is, therefore what is OF HIM IS LIGHT! And in truth, darkness does not exist, except that it is an absence of THE LIGHT...

What is OF *GOD* IS ETERNAL, what is NOT of HIM, is temporal! What happens in this world does NOT have measure to what is OF *GOD*, except in the proving of HIS people! Thus, in reflection, in retrospect, it seems almost silly to adhere, or get drawn into what is of the world, along with it's troubles, IF we ARE OF THE LORD, for we KNOW that TRUTH, and TRUE POWER ARE OF HIM, therefore, under HIS dominion we exist; that dominion totally comprised of what IS POSITIVE, right, just, and good...

When we give in to fear, anger, pride, and the negatives that accompany a life in the flesh, we reap the products of those negatives! When we stand in *GOD*, in spirit, in LOVE, we are ENABLED to ARISE from the would be shackles, and chains waiting for us in the wake of negative instances! HE WILL LEAD us past what the world hurls our way, and WILL PROVIDE for us in ALL matters under the HEAVENS, according TO HIS WILL! FAITH IS SO IMPERATIVE, not sometimes, but ALL the time! RELIANCE ON HIM, BELIEF, and TRUST IN HIM, shepherd us through it all!!!

HE KNOWS, and I KNOW, in certain instances, it is mighty difficult to not be shaken, yet, these are the times when our LOVE of HIM, our FAITH IN HIM, ARE PROVEN!!!

Whatever the world afflicts us with, we have a MIGHTY SAVIOUR, DELIVERER, and HELPER to guide us through, assist us, heal us, comfort us, and teach us!!!

What is right, just, and good, DOES TOWER OVER what is wrong, bad, and unjust, AND, in every negative DOES reside the POSITIVE, but NOT if we are mentally, and emotionally chained to them!!!

KEEP THE FAITH, and BELIEVE IN THE GOOD, for the good IS OF *GOD*, and *GOD* IS SOVEREIGN LORD OVER all in CREATION! PRAISE HIM, WORSHIP HIM, THANK HIM, and PRAY TO HIM ALWAYS, HE IS THE RESOLVE, and HEALTH we seek, and need!!!

MUCH LOVE, may THE LORD BLESS, and BE with us ALL! Take care, and STAND SOLID IN HIM, and HE WILL move mountains for your sake, FOR HIS GLORY!!!
