State Of Mind With Jb

How often do we year people say,"If I listened I would have been in a better place now."Listening is for free but we fail to listen most of the time because we think we know better.

We sweat for everything we that we want in life. Our Lord is always there for us. As the book of Psalm 30 verses 5-12 says the following, "5. His anger lasts only a moment, his goodness for a lifetime. Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning. 6. I felt secure and said to myself," I will never be defeated." 7. You were good to me, Lord; you protected me like a mountain fortress. But then you hid yourself from me, and I was afraid. 8. I called you, Lord;I begged for your help: 9."What will you gain from my death? What profit from my going to grave? Are dead people able to praise you? Can they proclaim your unfailing goodness? 10. Hear me, Lord, and be merciful! Help me, Lord!" 11. You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance;you have taken away my sorrow and surrounded me with joy. 12. So I will not be silent; I will sing praise to you. Lord, you are my God; I will give you thanks forever."

We should carry a never die spirit like foreigners who are called immigrants. I don't call them immigrants because they are foreigners also and governments around the world fear them because they know that they are never shy to work.

"In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you." ~Matthew 7 verse 12. Don't gossip about others if you don't want them to gossip about you.

I wish we could stay forever young as life is full of responsibility.

We are not professionals when we serve God. As the book of 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 9-10, "You are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do His work and speak out for Him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference He made for you."

When I look back on my life, I see pain, mistakes and headaches. When I look in the mirror, I see strength, learned lessons and pride in myself. Life is only a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see. Life is a mirror and you see in it the reflection of inner self.

Everything on earth loses value as time goes by. As the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 16 says that, "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." All the things in our houses lose value the minute we exit the store we bought the product. Just like a car the minute I leave the dealership the car loses value. Even our bodies are wasting away as we grow and we are going to be seen as less consumer value to the society around us. This does not apply to God. The Bible teaches us that exact opposite happens in His presence. Day by day we grow substantially in wisdom and spiritual knowledge.

Peer pressure goes beyond the school premises. Peer pressure is found in all stages of life as we are all going through the stage of peer pressure but we have to swim through it. Be strong and move through this stigma of peer pressure.

"Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife that God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil.", Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 9. God looks at how use your borrowed time on earth. God gives us 24 hours, where we should learn to be full of hope and enjoy life. As the book of Matthew 11 verse 28 says that," Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." We are living our lives like we are on a bullet train, as we are chasing for more earthly possessions. We worry today about the problems and expenses of tomorrow. But listen to this: God measures out of grace only" one day at a time " Matthew 6 verse 11.
