God's Plan

Psalm 30:4-6 (KJV)
"4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
 Today as I was filling a cup of water at work , I felt a pain in my soul, a pain I could not explain, yet it felt as if this is the boy in me struggling and hurting with the lack of clarity or fulfillment in life. I was lead to comfort myself in a subconscious manner as if to tell the part in me that struggles with the waiting part in life , the sensation of being trapped some how , that it's OK ,don't feel guilty about anything ,you are not alone, I will not abandon you for the sake of my self righteousness and religiosity . I understood myself :-)!I know in my spirit that God's promises for my life are real , I know things will change to promote the calling I was called to in the Kingdom . But as a wild animal that is put into a box to move it from captivity back into the wild or the reservation where all it's desires and longing for freedom and peace will realize, the boy in me does not realize he is in transition . All he knows he is trapped . Not sure what is he sees as a trap . The daily routine ? Lack of financial freedom? Lack of professional fulfillment ? Who cares ! This is not important ! The important part is that the Zebra in the container needs comfort , even though you are doing her a favor by taking her to her natural habitat . Zebra doesn't know , she has no way of comprehending future . She is in shock . Let us not scourge our selves for not understanding God's plan , but comfort your weak part of personality by showing it that you understand , and that things will be better . Psalm 71:20-22 King James Version (KJV) "20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. 22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel."

Thinking Out Loud ... again

It is hard sometimes to be sure about what you want out of life . And sometimes when you think you know, it can be even harder . As the goal can be so romantic , and so dramatic , it actually becomes scary ! We read motivational books , hear motivational sermons and speeches , but you know what is in common to all the motivational stories , preaches and speeches ? The all done after the person already achieved his goal , and now he is sharing with us , "the little people " how can we all get to the mountain ! Read the book of Job ! The most motivational book of the Bible ! Ha Ha !!! He said " I curse the day I was born !" oops . that's not very motivational , NOR positive ! Houston , we have a problem ! Solomon .... great , wise , king Shlomo ! Teaching about success and wisdom !!!! ..... Lived as all his life as nobility , a son of the great and powerful king David , the great Warrior King ! David's Kingdom was the largest in the Jewish history ! Solomon never had a day of hunger , never had his life being threatened , set on a Gold Throne ... Had hundreds of horses and concubines , taking pleasure in all the delights of the flesh ! Ending his life as a paganist and ... well I don't want to say the rest of what is tempting to say . I LOVE proverbs , but isn't a bit humiliating when you are preached at by someone who have never experienced the intensity of your challenge ? And even if he did ! He is at peace now ! he doesn't FEEL what I FEEL ! ... I need someone who would come down and SUFFER with me ! Someone who is there with me in the dirt ! I think this is the reason why David the king was so popular and why he was a man according to God's heart ! He went into battle with his men ! He did not think his life is to valuable to endanger it with the commoners . We should never be elitist in our leadership , people need friends , brothers not teachers . Well I was venting some of my thought life , hope someone got something out of it . Please write and comment , God Bless !
