It takes mustard to move mountains to the sea!!

Misquoting scripture? Maybe, but how many people actually believe that God would allow you to put the Rockies in the Atlantic Ocean. Is that really the point? Faith is to be used for things that are useful. This description does help us understand the power of God and His love for us. He is willing to change the face of the planet by our request. We do find that God gave Israel a king against His more perfect knowledge and Will. We should think about the things we ask for. When asking God to do the best thing for us, we are relinquishing any predisposed ideas of what that might have been. We are submitting our will to that of His. What we found in Israel was that they still cared to ask but their hearts were not tuned to divine will.

Think about the description of the mustard seed itself. This really small seed will turn into this big tree and produce other seeds. It reminds me of the promise to Abraham. You know the “sands of the sea” promise? One seed of faith turned into three nations. Yes, three: the nation of Islam, the nation of Israel, and the kingdom of salvation and inside that the holy nation, The Church, purchased on the cross. In the end, all the mountains we face will be placed in the sea, either the Sea of Forgetfulness as we find forgiveness or in the Lake of fire as we are cast away from our Father to eternal torment. By faith, we may participate in the Wonderful plan of salvation. We must continue in the growth of our mustard plant. May God bless you and keep you.

Long time without Life

Everyone talks about life like it is the dead or not dead assessment of a coroner. Not So! This is such a small part of life. For some it only takes a few minutes of their time. An even smaller percentage of us will experience a death that takes longer than just a couple of years. Anything longer is Life on slow-mo. The death that is only inevitable for living in the first place. There are some, still fewer, that their life is shorter than their death, usually infants, they don't think of anything other than now. They have a realization that the only moment that they have is this one, well this one, well we missed it again. You get the idea. Plans never get in the way of getting something done for them.

What about you? Do you let your processes get in the way of the outcome you are looking for? Do you have a lazy streak or a lack of motivation? Do you ever hear yourself say, "I'll get to it later..." Don't be that person that never gets anything done. It does take time to prepare for certain things but if your reasoning becomes circular then you have a problem. Most of our excuses are generated from our own actions or lack thereof.

Destroy the Stumbling Blocks

All of us have them. Most of us have no real grasp of what they ALL are. The temptations are much easier. We say" No, that's Sin". However, when it comes to the things that seem to be less obvious? Oblivious of the interaction. We don't answer honestly" How will this effect my spiritual growth?""Will this edify God?"

We attempt to put our lives together with little or no help from God or anyone else for that matter.
We don't notice how strange our fixes are or how far they are from the truth.

God offers the only way to be whole. He created us to worship Him, so it reasons out that we cannot be whole without fulfilling our purpose.
Ecc. 12:13-14 Lays out that purpose in very straight forward terms. Fear God, keep His commandments- The part I feel is missing from most of our lives is the "whole Duty" part. We seem not to know what that means. Maybe we don't want to.

100% of something is everything. Mathematical law holds that 99.9repeating is 100. If only there were more people that those terms would effect. Meaning that if your not close it wouldn't help if it were true or not.

Let God and His Word lead your life. Lean not on your own understanding. Pay attention to the 100% rule. Offering yourself even in little pieces is bad. You should not consider yourself yours to give.(thats alot of your!)

Dont mind me to much. I have really been feeling like more is required lately. If you feel content, then by all means, keep going the way you are. Just dont be lazy.

A Mind is a Terrible thing to Waste

I know that it has been a long time since anyone has heard from me. I will have a little more time the next few days, however.

Love unconditionally!

There are a lot of people that need the peace of God in their lives. Most of those people Know that they have no peace though some do Not know. It is important to understand, we must find peace in God for our situations before we can convey such. Not peace beyond reality, but peace in it. Read Hebrews Chapter 12:1-4.

If you do not know that God is helping you then you will not praise Him appropriately. None of us have faced the things that Jesus did. There are so many other examples of the righteous enduring well beyond anything we have endured as of yet.

Be vigilant in your faith. Look for ways to draw closer to God. Look for opportunities to convey the Gospel Truth. James Chapter 1:2-7.

Well, keep fighting, and we will talk more later. God is with you- pay attention!
