Wrong Paths Lead to Empty Thinking

 

Heard that the generation known as Millennial have no retention of the subjects they were taught in school. Being seated with all the new technology, many only had Chat-GPT, or AI to help them in their school work. What many of us learned in our years of learning, we kept hold of all that English, Math, and Reading. We studied and memorized passages of history, geography and yes math. We learned to spell the English language. Their teachers evidently do not speak English, so they are taught crafts instead.  In our early years, we actually read books that we could make a book report on. The written book report was written in the language we speak, English.  It was with words we use in our daily life. I remember it is almost a year ago, that my husband picked up a few things from a grocery story in Washougal. The two teenagers had their list and they had money. But she the oldest, likely sixteen, handed the whole amount cash to the cashier to count it out. This teen could not do mathematics in her head!

With that thought in mind, what about all those of the Millennial time holding no knowledge of their studies, the same will now go after those degrees for like medicine, or engineering. They will someday as a doctor operate on you! Does that scare you? It should unless you speak over your life daily that you are healthy and whole.

After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Luke 2:46  (NIV)

Mary and Joseph found Jesus asking questions in the temple. Where do you find your children still at home? Are they studying their school books or playing some game?

Living with passion and purpose to minister to the body of Christ means we aggressively take advantage using each day to help others like Christ did!  We are to study and show ourselves approved……..rightly dividing the Word of truth.

Sending forward:  3 John 6-8…. To send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well, 7 because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. NKJV

Are our youth sent forth to minister actual life with a passion and purpose for that life? Heard that those who decided to let marijuana have its place in society, have submitted themselves to using that product at least 5 days a week.  They are finding these same individuals have brain damage with a weekly or monthly psychosis event. Also they have a greater chance of getting disease than regular smokers.

·         Our time here is brief: James 4:14…..14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. KJV  WE are to make it count:  Romans 13:11-14….. 11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. NKJV

Filled and controlled by the Spirit of God: Rom 8:14-16……14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." NKJV

·        Ask HIM to be your source for contentment, excitement and comfort: Isaiah 61:1-3…."The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives,

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, 3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness,

We are to be guided every day by His Spirit:  Proverbs 4:10-13……..10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.  12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble. 13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life. NKJV

WE are to be having the Ultimate Goal in life: 1.   God's authority should rule over our thoughts and 2.   IN the  ultimate goal in this life we are reminded of the 10^th  commandment  that  shows the depth of God's concern about the state of our inner character as well as our apparent character. If our thoughts are right, our actions will be too. Changing our thinking strikes right at the heart of character, emphasizing why spending time with God, in studying His Word and in prayer, is so important. These young people will have  their lives emphasizing nothing. They will have to read a manual on appendectomy while they cut on your abdomen.

Action is required. It was for Christ Jesus and for us as well. What if He had gotten to the Garden of Gethsemane and chose a different path?  No' He prayed intently, shed drops of blood from His body. He sought the Father's plan.  We should seek the Father's plan. We are to be about His business through us and does He have that? I doubt it does for thousands upon thousands who have chosen to cheat through life and use worldly sources to be their guides in life. No we must have the Word of God and Holy Spirit to lead us through this life. It is for an eternity!

Remember we find this in Galatians 6:7-8 NKJV Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.   Those misdeeds, injustice, moral wrongs, unjust acts are seen in the flesh. You can see many schools across this nation close for the day or two for their youth to go riot in the streets against ICE. They think they are unjust because that was what they are told.   In the teachings of Jesus, those are accepted because we see His life filled with the Father's grace and will. Our will must align with the Lord's purpose and Word or it will be wrong paths leading to empty thinking!

Writing Desk

Open the Holy Bible for the greatest love letter ever written!

 Have you ever thought what it looked like when God created the heavens and the earth? Have you ever wondered if He sat down.....for He surely considered the cost.....because you can read that in Luke 14! Luke 14:28-30 NKJV   28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it----29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, "This man began to build and was not able to finish."

Being in the Word always reminds daily of submitting all to God, and allowing Him to have His way in our lives. But alas, many choose at times to go their way in their own thinking and ability!
So while God thought out the heavens and earth and placed a specific thought on a page of Adam and with a tree in the center of his garden, would Adam submit his all to God and walk the way God planned? NO! He did not!
Adam relinquished his life with God for that of scratching out a living, not more in the glory of God but in the flesh, sin and death! Once more Adam played the blame game with God.....that woman YOU gave me....! Not a good attitude to have with God! Why did Adam not tend to the garden and his wife which lived there with him?

In thinking of this today, I was reminded of my grandmother who lived in another state from us while we grew from babies to young adults. She was my mother's mother and she loved to write letters and cards and with great detail she planned what she needed at her work station; her writing desk!
Anytime we went on vacation to see our grandparents, I could inspect her writing desk, writing tablet, book of stamps, envelopes for letters and cards, several pens in black and blue ink and of course her list of family members.
Living in a small home, she had desk that would fold out with a level writing surface. Though compact and would close out of sight, still I knew what was held behind in those out of sight shelves.   When she was ready to write to someone that was on her mind, she would open that small door to reveal the compartments with all her supplies lined in a row before her and then she would begin! I loved receiving her letters and when I took Spanish in Junior High School, I would write to her in Spanish. Although she would not speak in Spanish to me when we visited, still she thoroughly knew that language as she did her English language.
She would write back to me asking how I was doing learning a second language and to keep up the good work. No she did not put a smiley face on the letter or envelop, but I knew the love that was composed in those pages she wrote to me and for me. I would always inspect the powder blue sheets of stationary and wonder what other colors she had purchased to write those long letters.

Surely I would pray that people would see the love the Father has for His, He calls as His sons. That we all would know His goodness and He sat down and planned it to a perfect plan that comes from an Almighty God! I would pray that we know the love story enfolded into the pages of the Holy Bible. I would not pray they have a joyful holiday but a joyful life in God! I would not pray that they would get what they wanted for a special day, but that they might receive that perfect thing from God who has the best for each of His children.

In 1 Peter 4:6-11 we are told of the manifold grace of God that has given us His ability through that grace to glorify God by the Holy Spirit of God and in Ephesians 3:8-12 wisdom of God that came by Jesus Christ! He was made unto us wisdom!

 1 Peter. 4:6-11  For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 7 But the end of all things is at hand, therefore be serious &watchful in your prayers. 8 & above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins. 9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. 10 as each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability (anointing) which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory & the dominion forever & ever. Amen 


If we are to speak, we should speak according to the way our Father in heaven speaks. In the oracles or teachings of God, we are given instruction of that ability given us through Jesus Christ and when we have made Him our Savior and Lord!
        

Ephesians. 3:8-12   8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all see what is that fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; 10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and power in the heavenly places, 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness  & access with confidence through faith in Him.

As the intentions of God was made known, that we would have access to the manifold wisdom of God, His varied expressions of joy and life for His own, and that we, not a church building, but you and I would speak, reveal and make known His goodness....to the principalities and power in the heavenly places. That would look like voting for the Bible-based person or persons who seek God and expect His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
So sad many people are stuck on the package of who or what their leader should be or look like.....they reveal their agendas, those motives that have nothing to do with life but only of death.....and when God is on the scene we must be sure we stay within God's plan and not mess with it by speaking ill of those who lead their country, their state or their family by the word of God and truth. For us to act as mentioned in Ephesians 3 that we are to make known to the enemy (Satan) that we are ruled by God and will operate as he does on earth as He does in heaven.
But ruling for abortions is against God and against life of a person. Ruling in favor of same -sex marriages, is against what God placed in His letter in Genesis to us of one man with one woman. God is true and real follow Him, but if Baal is true follow him!

No, surely our hope is to be in Jesus Christ, and act like He did! When we truly know what His love letter to us says, then we truly can be that person who reveals life to another. It will not be by manipulating or only gave half-truths, but it will be by us truly seeking the Father of light to reveal light to others.
My grandmother passed at an early age of sixty four years of age. Her life, well, she did regularly attended church, she regularly shopped at the local grocery market and prepared meals. She washed dishes with no dishwasher available. She washed their clothes at the local laundromat and she wrote letters to others.
My intent is to reach out to let you know your Father in heaven loves you and is waiting to speak with you. I sit at my desk and am reminded what an impact those letters written so many years ago made in my life....I hope this does the same. For someone loves you and His name is Jesus. Someone loves you and gave His life for you. Someone loves and sends this to remind you that He is ready and waiting to hear......HE wants to show you what was Finished for You when His SON went to Calvary!
