You can get so
blinded by the attractions of the world that you see only through foggy lenses
because you get distracted. Concentrate more on watchfulness. Seek clarity.
Clarity is linked with your alert ability. Alertness comes by your permission. Ask
for God’s Light that clears away the fog. Your spiritual lenses can be cleaned.
The true perspective is to see through God’s eyes, the windows of eternity.
Prayer: Oh Lord, I want to see clearly what
you would have me be and do.
One reason
Heavenly Father sent his Son is to reaffirm a
Kingdom free from the trappings of self-centered rule.
We are a part of a new race of people. We are given strength to out-
love, out-think, out-hurt, out-give, out-live the finest worldly
intellect.
We do this through humble faith and grace given by the Holy
Spirit.
When the world says: Revenge, you say Forgive. When the world says reason only, you see through Jesus’s eyes. When the world says: Suffer, you say hope for Jesus’ sake. When the world says: Give in your own name. You say give for the sake of the Father’s kingdom.
Then, your new wisdom
will confound the intellects of the
world, and they will
ask: “By what authority do you speak? And you
may then share God’s Grace with them. The Holy Spirit waits for
you.
Prayer: Lord, help me share who you are in every opportunity.
With conscious
effort, let go of worry about earthly functions. Consciously discover how to
appreciate worldly things without the need to own them. Meditate on their individual
beauty. A flower shows its individual beauty to anyone looking. To feel you have
to own a thing tempts you to be possessed by it. Appreciate, then let go. If
something holds you stronger than a kingdom principle, it may control you by
blocking Jehovah’s path, slowing personal growth for you.
Prayer: Lord,
help us remove those false issues and possessions that try to consume us and
control us.
Must we come so close
to Death? Must we really believe we will die
and leave this earth before we can truly say: "God’s will is my will, not
my will but God’s will be done?” There are many deaths in our life. We need to
die to the false self that wants only what it wants. In a sense, even die to material
blessings---give them away. Die to any one thing that separates us from learning
and growing toward Yahweh.
Prayer: Lord, help me understand the
little deaths every day I must face, so I can turn my full will over and live
for you.
Evil [ backwards
to L I V E ] has no omnipresent beingness like Jehovah. Evil disguises
half-truths of the one negative being who wants you to think he is just like
the true heavenly Father. Satan in nature [sin] wants to corrupt your nature.
He and his followers try and constantly challenge you. Everyday sins that
result from Sin-nature are actions that tell lies about the quality of life. Evil
remains temporary in nature [comes and goes], faking a shallow selfish love. It
leads to destruction of any clear, peaceful view of heavenly Father’s love. Jesus,
the true Counselor, will bear your burdens. He covers all sin by his physical
and spiritual sacrifice. He is the accurate one who maintains omnipresent
ability, the constant work of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: Thank you Lord, for
conquering all negative forces in life and replacing them with your
load-bearing love.
Miracles do not always happen ‘right
now’. They often move over periods of your time---step by step---reaching for
Jehovah’s holy conclusion. This example shows the constant perfection and
consistency of the Father to work all things simple or complicated. Our minds
are not large enough to see all, but Jehovah continues to make a moral universe
that does what is right; it’s just that staggered human decisions chip away at
God’s timetable. A mystery remains: He allows this. But He still gives us a value intelligence,
when we look to know what is right. And if we prayerfully ask, He protects us
through His Son Jesus.
Prayer: Lord, I do trust that you work all things for your right
purpose which includes us.
Trust…. Heavenly Father loves
you completely….Still, when you experience emotional pain, like anger, it boils
within you. It is a reaction. The Father’s Love-light fights against any
darkness in you. What you may think is God’s wrath is His love showing you the
weakness of sin. Your anger promotes hostile fear. It comes from missing the
point. It comes from expecting the wrong things from God, like punishment. Jesus
already paid for any anger you’re feeling. Divine love remains, no matter what!.
Remember, divine love has an extra healing energy.
Prayer: Lord, thank you and help me recognize your calming love
and care.
