State Of Mind With Jb

Let's be real, let's be honest. We should learn to be real at a young age because the world is full of fake people.

"May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed." Psalm 20 verse 4. It is once again that time of the year when New Year's resolutions are made at every turn, the big and small resolutions may all of them be successful.

We are all unique and our differences between us are also different as we come from different unique backgrounds. I wish all families would be happy this Christmas because not everyone is happy with going home.

We can do not control our lives but God is the only one in control. As the book of Proverbs chapter 19 verse 21 says that, " You can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail." Life is not all about you! I am talking about your faith. Remember that God does not work for you but you are serving God. So even if you pray every day that does not give God instructions concerning what He ought to do for you and others. Many people walk around sulking about God, apparently he did not help them when He was supposed to. Well, that happens because many of us have the idea in our heads that the Lord really owes us something. We serve Him, and therefore He has to do something for us in return. Listen, the only reason why we serve God is because He is God. He is mercifully redeemed us when we were lost. He loved us while we were still His enemies. He made us His own while we were so far away from Him. That's why we serve Him. It's all about Him. We serve Him on His terms. As the book of Hebrews chapter 12 verse 1 says, "Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us." God is not in our service; He does not work for us. We do not determine the conditions of the relationship. We should get to know God and serve Him as He reveals Himself to us in the Bible. The Lord is our oxygen, our breath, our entire lives. The Lord is with us in every storm. He walks with us through every dark valley and every straight road. He remains at our side until well past the finishing post.

We should learn to be silent as we could avoid to get into trouble,but we are human beings we don't like to be silent and we end up in trouble. Be silent if your words could damage a friendship, a lot of friendships get damaged by words because people just say words without thinking how it will affect the next person. If you think those words that you want to say were going to be bad if you were the one receiving them then remain silent. A meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words, silence is always beautiful as it will help you to avoid getting yourself into trouble.

Everything you requires you to be patient enough. Even when you pray you must have patience because what you pray for won't happen overnight. Here is what James chapter 5 verses 7-20 say about patience and prayer,"7. Be patient, then, my friends, until the Lord comes. See how patient farmers are as they wait for their land to produce precious crops. They wait patiently for the autumn and spring rains. 8. You also must be patient. Keep your hopes high, for the day of the Lord's coming is near. 9. Do not complain against one another, my friends, so that God will not judge you. The Judge is near, ready to appear. 10. My friends, remember the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Take them as examples of patient endurance under suffering. 11. We call them happy because they endured. You have heard of Job's patience, and you know how the Lord provided for him in the end. For the Lord is full of mercy and compassion. 12. Above all, my friends, do not use an oath when you make a promise. Do not swear by the heaven or by earth or by anything else. Say only "Yes" when you mean yes, and "No" when you mean no, and then you will not come under God's judgment. 13. Are any among you in trouble? They should pray. Are any among you happy? They should sing praises. 14. Are any among you sick? They should send for the church elders, who will pray for them and rub olive oil on them in the name of the Lord. 15. This prayer made in faith will heal the sick; the Lord will restore them to health, and sins they have committed will be forgiven. 16. So then, confess your sins to one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect. 17. Elijah was the same kind of person as we are. He prayed earnestly that there would be no rain, and no rain fell on the land for three and a half years. 18. Once again he prayed, and the sky poured out its rain and the earth produced its crops. 19. My friends, if any of you wander away from the truth and another one brings you back again, 20. remember this: whoever turns a Sinner back from the wrong way will save that sinner's soul from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins."

We all want to be loved by our parents but sometimes we don't get the love we want from our parents. If you have parents who love and support please know that you are lucky as children outside do not have such a relationship with their parents.

There is a saying stating, "put your money where your mouth is," and there is another saying, "Actions speak loud than words." Even when it comes to faith if you can't prove your faith by your actions it is pointless to tell people that you have faith. The book of James chapter 2 verses 14-26 says the following about faith and actions, "14. My friends, what is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you? 15. Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. 16. What good is there in your saying to them, "God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!" - if you don't give them the necessities of life? 17. So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. 18. But someone will say, "One person has faith, another has actions." My answer is, "Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions." 19. Do you believe that there is only one God? Good! The demons also believe - and tremble with fear. 20. You fool! Do you want to be shown that faith without actions is useless? 21. How was our ancestor Abraham put right with God? It was through his actions, when he offered his son Isaac on the altar. 22. Can't you see? His faith and his actions worked together; his faith made perfect through his actions. 23. And the scripture came true that said, "Abraham believed God, and because of his faith God accepted him as righteous." And so Abraham was called the God's friend. 24. You see, then, that faith it is by our actions that we are put right with God, and not by our faith alone. 25. It was the same with the prostitute Rahab. She was put right with God through her actions, by welcoming the Israelite spies and helping them to escape by a different road. 26. So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead."
