When Are You Deliberate?
We tend to be deliberate when we get something out of it!
What you think you see in the dark cannot be for certain. What you think you see; is it what you are really seeing?
Signs along the way:
I see God now in a different way than before Jesus renewed my heart and saved my soul. The perceived troubles of this world, through the light of Jesus is why I see them differently now.
When you look at something in the dark or peripherally or just gaze at it. You cannot see it for what it really is. Your Apriori (prior knowledge) automatically formulates what it is YOU are looking at. It now becomes your perception.
What’s your perception of God?
What’s your perception of Jesus?
What’s your perception of the Holy Spirit?
What’s your perception of yourself?
Whatever it is that you look at head on with light, looks very different than how you looked at it without light (in the dark) or at different angles.
We sometimes, I myself included; claimed to know Jesus and follow him but we get caught up in other things and only gaze at Gods word or acknowledge God when we are in darkness to check the box of being with our Lord or just doing our religious thing.
What’s your perception on religion?
Remember Jesus is not a fan of religious individuals. Let’s take the what we perceive as extra time and focus on Jesus head on, because He is our light and we will be able to see things as God intended, not see things to fit our own agenda. Speaking of time and agenda; you don’t need to fit God in your agenda, you need to make your agenda around God.
Life has always been about God! Jesus died so we can receive and interpret Gods promises for our lives. Along the way we lose our focus and some of you may have heard about leaving the 99 to go find that one. Let me clear this up for you; you are that one, I am that one, everybody that follows Jesus was or is that one at some point in their life.
If you think otherwise I’m here to tell you to get head on and focus because you are just gazing around through life at things that do not really matter.
Jesus is his name!
Psalm 127:1-2
Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.”
Make sure the things you do align with the word of God and we do so by seeking Jesus; reading the Bible and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew your mind and watch how God work things out in your life for His Glory.
Be deliberate, intentional and on purpose! By doing so, with Jesus light will be shed on things that were always perceived through darkness. This my brothers and sisters will change your perception of many things and God will reveal these things to you in his timing. Jesus is the light of the world.
Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
