Worship

To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.

+William Temple,
late Archbishop of Canterbury

Worship means to "practice the presence of God" in every thing we do, every time we do it.

'In-to-me-see' '

I have found that many of us have very shape insight into the behavior of others. The downside to this gift is we are so quick to see the flaws in others that we never see how bitter we really are. You can't constantly focus on dirty and not get dirty.

The best uses of such a gift would be to take time to look at the issues and toxic relationship in our own lives.

When you find people that can find pleasure in degrading other, with no intent of helping, it is because they are really not happy with their own life. This is why they spend so much time in everyone else affairs.

Evidence of this unhappiness will manifest outwardly in sickness, excessive medication, dislike or excessive focus on appearance & periods of depression.

Start today, focus on improving your own life. Another person's life is too big of a project for you with all you have on your plate!

The song writter penned the words, "O what needless pains we bare, all because we do not care EVERYTHING TO GOD in prayer".

God desire is not to remove your problem, but what He does is strength us so that we are able to bare the load. Prayer strengthens us by connecting us to the power of God in us.

With this understanding we know now why the bible can declare, "let the weak say I'm strong!"

Start today, reclaim your power by connecting to God by PRAYER!

The Greatest Good.

3Joh 1:2 ... I wish above all things that thou would prosper & be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

It will takes more than hard work to be prosperous & it takes more than a pill to make us healthy. The ''more'' that I'm speaking of is faith in the fact that God's desire for each of us is good health. Our natural state is one of health not sickness. It is a proven fact that many people that lack confidence in themselves indulge in sickness in order to avoid being expected of others to participate & be a contributor in life.

Jesus came that we might have LIFE and have it in ABUNDANCE! Because God lives in us there is in us a power that knows NOTHING about sickness, lack, limitations, fear, nor imperfection.

Start today, & ask God to remove the mental wall that is constructed of fear & unbelief, mixed with the mortar of negative experience that keeps you from God's greater good for your life.

You Could be Effecting Me!

Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

In a British medical journal, The Practitioner, they did a study that showed that the doctors thoughts about their patients greatly effected the persons well-being. If the doctor thought the person was not getting better that attitude was transfered to the person and they didn't get better.

If this is true & our thoughts and attitudes can effect the well-being of others. As husbands, wifes, leaders, pastors & parents it is important that we constantly have a mental picture of the best experience for those around us. People encounter enough difficulties everyday without having to deal with the negative influence of our thoughts and bad attitudes.
