Consider this on this day: ain't no way

Once in a while we all become worn out and beaten down by the stresses associated with the pursuit of goals & dreams.

Every now and then, if we could, we'd consider pushing the pause button and allow life to run through us like a lie from a well-known politician.

We ingest the pain.

We run through life's problems.

We have never quit and given up.

The Apostle Paul illustrates exactly when and how a believer should face all challenges; as a winner Romans 8:35-37.

In Psalm 116, King David penned another song, wrote hymn that encompasses the daily negatives, then tells the believer to consider every single blessing the Lord has laid out before each of us.

Yes, there are a few moments in each day a choice pops up and we knock it down as if we're playing the game, Wack-a-Mole.

"Ain't no way I can walk around without Jesus' grace and mercy following my every step."

How can we ever consider the opinions of others over all the truths learned from being in love with someone who's done all that He's done for someone like me? (Psalm 116:10 -14).

Do we ever relate the headaches in our daily grind, to the pains Christ suffered as the Lamb for our sinful natures?

Be truthful in all your ways. Walk back over all the storms you've been able to overcome.

Then get up off your knees and be the conqueror He's created you to become.

Read Psalm 116

Be blessed Child of God and walk in His power

CONSIDER THIS ON THIS DAY: am I who I pretend to be

The choices we make daily have a direct effect upon us and our children's blessings and future. The image we know of ourselves and then give out in the daily grind can be two separate people.

That is a struggle within itself.

Our children and family know how we fake things to the world. They see that fight and struggle. We have to work each moment and seek to become the person God created us to be. This may not please our old friends and lovers, but it the daily call for us to live and move at a higher standard in life.

Why give our children and family the short end on the stick when we know we can be and do better?

Why live in mediocrity when the talents we possess calls for a small effort ?

In Romans 6:1, Paul speaks of the baptism and how God's children are SUPPOSED to act after the spiritual acceptance of Christ and the physical dip / dunk in the water. We all are to walk in a higher standard of life.

The question is constantly asked about and our fellowship in Christ, 'are they really who they say they are?'. Let them keep asking while you make the decision to allow God to direct you into a better lifestyle and better friends. Friends who will work with you to grow stronger in the daily grind and not beat you down.

We can understand if bad choices made while acting like a Christian gives out negative answers, that is on us and shows badly upon our children and the church. Strong decisions must be made daily in the attempt to fight off the enemy and keep our name strong and in the light.

CONSIDER THIS ON THIS DAY: sometimes silence is not golden

There are those moments in a relationship when one partner should stand up and help or correct the other. But issues arise because one person refuses to hear from or trust the words of the person they supposedly love and arguments ensue.

This cycle is repeated so often that neither partner offers up words of wisdom or advice, but rather stands back and watch their lover fall on their face and ultimately hurt the relationship & family.

My question to those in that type of relationship is, "why are you wasting your time and theirs if you constantly refuse to partner up, work together and speak up?

In Genesis 3, we have been told constantly that it was Eve's fault for the fall in the garden, but if you would look at the scriptures, you will quickly realize that her "man" was standing right there and silent.

Life and relationship are too valuable to stand in silence and watch love, family and dreams crash and burn. It is far better to say what is needed than to suffer both spiritually & physically when unneeded storms arise from inaction.

Take this journey serious and handle up on all you have to do to shore up yourself & your partner / spouse so you can continue to hear from God

READ Genesis 3:1-9

make this day the day you say something positive in your partner's / spouse' day

CONSIDER THIS ON THIS DAY: the swing back

Confrontations in our days will occur. It is how we respond in those instances that shows our true nature and maturity.

After one has experienced failure and heartbreak on a deep level, the thought of over reacting in heated conversations lessens, and the ability to listen to what the other person is really saying takes over. We remain silent because in most heated discussions, those things we hid seem to get a life of their own and begins eviscerate our character, personality and destroy the testimony we have been trying to build.

Sometimes it is not what we say, but how we deliver the anger that has been welling up inside of us for this particular moment. And yet, it feels so good to blow off some steam, scream and shout and then let a few curse words fly. But then we ask the question, was it really worth acting out in such a manner to destroy another person and then our light we claim to have as a Christian?

In Ephesians 4, the Apostle Paul begins the chapter talking about the job we have to do as Christians. He gives detailed directions on how to walk bravely in an ignorant and mean world. He tells us what characteristics we should bolster and then how to model our lives after the example of Christ by letting some things die off each day that we can rise and be renewed. The scriptures which garner the most attention are verses 26 and 27.

In thinking over those lines, I often think of Jackie Robinson and how he demonstrated the best of his God-given talents, not through anger, but through his swing back at those who’d seek to destroy his character based on their own limited abilities and selfish hearts. Silence and then actions seemed to be those five smooth stones needed to defeat the constant confrontations.

Yes, it is in the way we deliver our response in confrontations which can either make or break our day. The best choice is to come prepared, having the best characteristics of a Christ-minded person on hand. That is; take at least two seconds before responding and then do it with a smile, while aiming for the fences.

It does take some practice to get through and then overlook the petty frustrations and arguments within a day. But you will be better off not engaging some folks and then realizing the all conversations directed at you are not worthy of your time. Especially if the sole intentions of the other person is to draw you out of who you’ve become and back into that old person. You are definitely better than that.

READ Ephesians 4

Make this day the day you choose not to be engaged by the petty and cruel, but walk in the light as you are called

CONSIDER THIS ON THIS DAY: it’s inside you

One thing we come to understand about living in this world for the short time that we have here, if we are slow in moving – we miss out on somethings.

Then there are those distractions that enter our days by way of our friends and family. They say that they believe the same things we stand for. But when push comes to shove we often find ourselves standing alone and reaching deep down in ourselves for confidence and that little cheerleader who speaks to us from time to time.

In 1st Samuel 17, the writer describes how David had to handle the naysayers in his life. When we read the story of David verses Goliath, we often do not take into consideration that the boy had already won the battle before racing down the hill to face the giant, Goliath. The most serious distractions came from David’s elder brothers. They only saw the little boy that they had to aid in walking and sometimes wiping tears when he would fall and scrape a knee.

One thing we come to realize in living in this world is the storms and difficulties we face gives us opportunity to learn and gather wisdom on how to step around distractions and negative words.

If we take a breath each time someone tries to feed their opinions into our gifts and talents, we would realize that the strength to be victorious is already residing within our hearts and minds. Yes, it is good to bounce things off some folks. The problem comes when we talk to those we know have no heart for the fight at hand.

David’s internal decisions and actions in denying the king’s amour and walking away from his brothers, should give credence to the fact that a true and loving relationship with the God of our Salvation can by the catalyst needed for victory.

It is his physical actions that we most often discuss and cheer. We miss out on the internal struggles because it forces us to look at our own stance. We love to win, but don't believe we have been prepared.

Those things accomplished on the outside must originate from deep within. I know you are facing storms on today, stop and think on how far you’ve come. Now take that much-needed breath and walk into your victory.

Read I Samuel 17

Make this day the day you choose to use all the gifts and talents that make you who are truly are.

WHAT CAN WE GIVE BACK TO THE LORD?

Sacrament Prayer Guidelines state that prayer is concrete and active. As the body of Christ we incarnate Christ’s presence in life-giving and nourishing ways. Sacrament prayer requires an intentional focus on being the sacred presence of Christ in a distracted and carnal world. Using objects to remind ourselves of the physicality of our faith can be a part of sacrament prayer.

These objects might be a small cross, a rock, a prayer bracelet, a prayer shawl, a scripture verse one carries, a picture or icon. It is also possible to create a prayer altar, a sacred space area, where you are reminded of Christ’s presence as you go about your day.

The altar can be anywhere, at home or work, and can be any size, such as a couple of objects to a designated seating area.

The objects are anything that remind you of Christ and his sacrifice and love. Since sacrament prayer reminds us of the grace given and our responsibility to live out the grace to others in the daily routines of our lives, it is best practiced daily, or at least as often as possible.

Sacrament prayer is not about being nice and kind or doing something good for others. It is a prayer that draws us into the sacred and compels us to be like Jesus. Because sacraments are linked to the Exodus and Jesus’ pilgrimage on earth, the prayer involves a sense of journey. The journey is a pilgrimage for seeking more and more of Jesus' presence in our daily lives.

Therefore, practicing the presence through movement and attention to Christ reminds us of our calling. Because sacraments remind us of the sacramental Lordship of Jesus Christ and our call to be unified in Christ, sacramental prayer urges us to meditate on and pray for the unity of the church worldwide.

Be blessed Child of God
