What Fruit?

...nevertheless the LORD'S counsel will stand..

Proverbs 14:12 Amp. Bible 12 There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death. Truly God is good, but adding flesh to something will only add up to more flesh, the pig wallowing in the mire…………Jesus spoke in John 4:24, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit & truth," meaning we must worship to the fullest of God's intent as revealed in His Word!

In applying God’s word to our daily life takes action on our part. And every decision we make in regard to our life in care and responsible attitude toward other family members requires us to include each with truth. Every action taken is to be guided & determined by God’s revealed truth. Yet, how many corners do we cut when we feel it serves us better? 

It sounds like this: “I have this God” and then find yourself in a bigger mess that when you started. I remember us buying a house one time, but I think I was the only one who really loved it, since I was the only one home most of the time! So when other are involved in the decision making it is best to consider all those participating in that major decision: like buying a house, buying a car, moving to another city or when one might pull back from some work to do what God really asked us to do.

The Book of Proverbs is a good place to start and there is one chapter for each day of the month. Can you imagine how much wisdom you would acquire in a year by daily reading God’s wisdom into your heart?

Proverbs 8:36   But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those that hate  me love death. Neglecting God is one seeking death and by forsaking His wisdom which is His Word  then we live by our own wisdom!  Choosing God ‘s wisdom is choosing to live and live the way He purposed for our lives.

  If we remember Proverbs 14:12 reveals this: there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. Anything outside of God’s way is reaping death. It can appear as mass murders, suicides and all kinds of life-taking, life-ending destructive paths.

We are told in 1 Corinthians 2:6 we are to speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this who are coming to nothing….no, anything outside of God and His ways and truths is a casualty looking for a place to happen!

Proverbs 21:30  there is no wisdom or understanding or counsel against the LORD. Deliberately determined to do what is wrong is death to those who do it; We have seen this come from Adam and Eve and it is happening in the streets of America today. Deliberately choosing to one’s own agenda is death indeed! Anything outside what God purposed is one choosing to themselves the world’s ways. To me that is just dangerous and so wrong to take yourself and your loved ones down the one-way path to hell and destruction!

In applying God’s word to our lives, we seek to place His will over our own will. Like Jesus, not our will but yours Father be done on earth as it is in Heaven.  In applying that word, we find that which is building us in strength.  Like from Proverbs 19:21 that there are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the LORD’S counsel---that will stand.  That we reject the counsel of the ungodly and hear the LORD’S counsel above all others. We also confess that we are instructed even as when we are sleeping and in the morning, that we pray to do what is right rather than follow the leading of our own flesh. We also speak out that the wisdom of this world is foolishness with You, Lord (1 Corinthians 3:19)  and may we not buy into it, but keep our eyes on You and have ears to hear Your voice.

May we not be presumptuous in any step we take, we must know our steps to be ordered of the Lord and not to make adjustments to His word as we see fit. HE is the healer, the ONE worthy to receive honor and praise for the great sacrifice to see us get not death, but life everlasting.

Romans 6:21-23 …….What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin,  & having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, & the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A changed heart is a seeking heart, not of worldly things that are passing away, but a seeking Heart is transparent, it is one that reflects life in Christ Jesus.  Jesus must not only be Savior , He must also be our Lord. Not being obedient to His word brings unwelcome consequences.  We are not saved by the admission of guilt, nor are we saved because we attend church every week. In God’s kindness and mercy, salvation that is true comes from accurately understanding the cost to save and the cost required to be saved. May our lives truly exhibit change that is of a holy life abounding in God’s grace not to sin but to really live a life in Him. Amen.

Depressive or the Merry Heart Mode

Proverbs 9:11 For by me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you.

Seems simple, right? By paying attention to the instruction of God's wisdom our days are multiplied and years are added to us. The wisdom of God is worthwhile to living longer on planet earth!
Had opportunity for some years to work at a gym. People worked out there during the day and evening hours, and some appeared to benefit from that daily workout from machines to weights.
Still I remember reading of this article of those living longer lives in Japan. In their search for that "one thing" they the ones who wanted to have long life focused on the Japanese people having access to much omega -3 oils. And much was written about the omega-3's and much was given on how to gain them from the natural sources.
But in truth if one really looks to the whole package of the Japanese person, they are those who care and give honor to their parents. Was reading an article recently how the Japanese family will build another home on their property to have a home for their aging parents. Now that is love, and care in action of family members for their parents.
Eating properly is important for each of us. You spend too much time eating cake you will look like that slice of cake at the end of a year. You love eating fresh vegetables, then you your face will give a glow of health that your organs are getting that much needed nutrition for life.
Exercise again is good and to the extreme can like jogging, bring wear and tear to your knees. Moderation is a good thing in anything we do. But we must also pay attention to the spiritual or the moral things that pertain to us as well.
Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good like a medicine; but a broken spirit dries the bones. Our heart plays a big role in our life expectancy. Next time pay attention to that "older person" walking passed you on the sidewalk or in a store. Their body posture will give a "loud voice"  if they are in a depressive state or merry heart mode!
Food can help or harm depending on what kind it is and what amount of it one will take in of that kind. You certainly would not want to eat ice cream everyday, yet there are those who will drink that exotic coffee everyday to their enjoyment and to future heartache. I know from experience and give details on why not to do that even though  I love coffee and I love the "double shot" black and white mocha , please!
Yet it was not good for me after awhile. I could tell my "nerves " were being affected.
I still drink in moderation a black coffee please, but on occasion I will have the exotic coffee. Our son-in-law makes a really good mocha if you happen along his pathway.

God's wisdom will direct us into a peaceful state. And if you notice His wisdom will direct us into the right jobs for us, the right people to rally around in speaking His word of truth and will guides us into super health when following what He has written for us to adhere to for life.
I remember my husband would run in the evening to not only exercise but also to leave a load of tension from work on the roadway while he whittled miles and some weight from his body. Still, that running has some affects on the knees and ankle joints of your body. And while he looked really trim, he was having other issues.
We can have strong opinions of not eating something and be very rigid about it but be very lax in things like strife, having some form of fear, depression or even criticizing others. For me I love to run and did it for some time, but I always had our daughter to go along with me. She was in school and would ride her bike along while I ran. It was something to do to exercise for  a bit and have time with our daughter. Although she would ride along for the first mile, after that she would go several blocks and come back to where I was pounding the asphalt.

I love the Proverb 10:22 wisdom. The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich and he adds no sorrow with it.
The blessing of the LORD is the spoken favor of the LORD God. When we cooperate with God and His wisdom first each day, then His word will make us rich: that is in every way financially, emotionally, socially and every other way. If we have any kind of sorrow with what has come to us then it was not from God. For that which is of God and from God will not bring sorrow.
Just ask any movie star, any rock star, or athlete when it is not of God! Some movie stars died early by use of drugs and alcohol. Some athletes and singers go by way of the world's standard and gain big SORROW! Some have lost their lives, they sought after careers to be in the list of the hopefuls who failed.
God directs us into truth. He leads us in the way we are to go. Proverbs 4:14-15 tells us to enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it and pass away.
Binding ourselves to His truth will mean we shut off the T. V. set to hear the quiet and hear the Lord speak in His voice of power and peace to us.
We must flee from what the world exhibits as the fun thing, the next great thing, or we are to be found as His children, the followers who will flee those lusts of the body. When we allow Him to direct us, then we come to the place that truly is a garden prepared for us to live. It is days multiplied to us for us to live in health, abiding in His words that strengthen us to look forward to tomorrow and praise Him that He is forever with us. We see that His blessings to us is bringing us favor and not sorrow. May we heed His voice and cleave to His beating heart of life and presents a life that only God can give to each of us! Amen!
