How does your life look like to be at this moment? (22/12)

How does your life look like to be at this moment? Perhaps you are feeling like Jeremiah:

• “For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.” (Lamentations 4.6).

Many times, we look on our debt very heavy. It seems that the world is falling down on our heads:

• Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more rosy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire: their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick. They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for lack of the fruits of the field.” (Lamentations 4.7-9).

At these moments, we stay mulling over our previous state and mourn, instead of being grateful to Jesus by His gift (today's day – Psalms 118.24).

But the main point is: what do you plan on to do? I hope that your reaction is different from the Israel:

• The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.” (Lamentations 4.10).

We can’t overpower all circumstances, but we can take control of ourselves, of the way we react. The pith of our behavior consists on: whom we call in for help? To Jesus or to "pharaoh", with their “chariots and horses” (Psalms 20.7; 147.10)? We will hurt someone to get us free of the quandaries and predicaments or we will manage to surpass our difficulties helping other people with the solace that we receive of Jesus (2Corinthians 1.3-5)? Will we bank on the commandments of Jesus, or will we try to stave off the enemies by our own power, capacity, etc., trying to find our way around His Word? Can be sure that this solution only put off and aggravate our problems.

So, try to understanding what the will of the Lord is (Ephesians 5.16,17), put it across, live pursuant to it and have a magnificent week.

I can't say I feel like that too often, being spiritual reborn and reconciled to Him, the world always gets put into perspective as soon as I quit "dealing with it" myself, be quit and look to Him. I do this at least every morning, but sometimes I have to stop multiple times a day to think about what I'm doing, what my purpose is, and am I behaving in a way to glorify our King?

(In my case)
It's crazy because at first it's just so strong, He is just there for real now, you are completely changed overnight and have THE truth revealed to you, again, FOR REAL!!!!!!!.

This said I also like to hit thing strait forward in truth, no nonsense, and sometimes this rubs people the wrong way, and even though there are worries in my life I'm finding as I grow exactly how hard the flesh can still pull on us. That's the beauty though, now I desire to seek Him, I trust Him to guide and keep me, and now I WANT to be more like Him, I also see my own deepest hidden sins, ones I never even saw as sin, like selfishness I show towards my wife and sons at times, little things I felt justified in before, I now see them in truth for what they are, because of Him only, ALL glory to our Lord.

In a way it's good we see ourselves for who and what we are in Him, and what we were, and others are, outside of His kingdom, and this should drive us to go proclaim His name, to share the good news. We are hopelessly wicked and our only hope is Him, THE way, THE truth, and THE life!!!! Holla-Boo-Ya!!!!!!!!!!!
