Apply The Lord's Word To Your Life

-

What good is it to read the bible and pray and you do not use what you learn in everyday life. My hand is up, I'm guilty.  There have been situations in my life where if I would have just thought it thru and asked myself how do I apply the Bible to this situation, things would be much better for me.  I'm not ready to tell you what I did but because of it, I had gotten in trouble with the law.  I've dealt with mental illness since 1999 and I did not want to accept that I needed to stay on medication for it.  I did not want to accept this but every time I got off the meds, I'd get delusional and get into trouble with the law or get 1013'd or TDO'd as they say in Richmond. Both of those mean an involuntary commitment to a mental hospital. 

For the record for the past five years I have been compliant and without legal supervision taken my medication and went to all doctor's appointments. 

Psalm 18:30
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. - KJV - Bible Gateway
buckler - one that shields and protects - Merriam Webster

There is no valley too deep for Jesus to reach. Call out to Him and he will comfort you. Believe in Him, and he will replenish you. Fall on your knees and worship Him, and He will lift you up. In life we make mistakes. Some are worse than others. The key to getting past it is not to dwell on it. There's an old adage, "One day at a time." How much can you get done in one day?  Setting daily goals chops your major ones into sizable proportions.  I am doing this blog to encourage others and to motivate myself.  When I go back and read some of my posts, I marvel at what I wrote.  My own words inspire and motivate me. I'm not trying to get the big head and puff myself up but to accomplish the goal of witnessing for Christ. The Great Commission Matthew 28:16  Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.   17  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.   18  Then Jesus came to them and sai...

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT VOICE

 Whenever you try to do something positive, do you have a negative thought like "This is pointless, or nobody cares about this?" I want this blog and this community to be a success. I can't listen to that voice that the devil says it's pointless. I have no idea who is reading this. I could say something that will help someone. One person.  Of course, I'm not  Jesus, but he was walking with a crowd around him, and someone touched him and was healed. He did not know who it was but knew power had left him. This message isn't just for you, readers. This is for me. I have stopped and started this blog again and again. I MUST NOT STOP!!!. And there's another thing I need to recognize. This is not a popularity contest. If the stats are low, that should not deter me. I am going to a church now where the pastor, his wife, and I are the only ones regularly there. See the picture above. Look at the empty seats. That has not stopped this pastor. And he has really fixe...
