What have you learned this year?

As we come to wrap up the year of 2010 I want to reference to my first blog post that I have ever posted. My first blog post was I think the first day of January 2010 and I stated that 2010 was going to be a BIG year and that many things would happen this year. Now of course that is a pretty general statement but many BIG things did happen this year.

The biggest thing that I learned this year is that GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES!

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19, NKJV)

Now I'm not talking about when you want that new Xbox 360 game God is going to swoop into your life and magically make that game appear in your room. Not that He can't do that but I highly doubt He will. I mean when you're in need and you come to God before going to anyone else. He will provide! If you don't think you're going to be able to pay your bills this month, put your worries aside and pray! If your kids don't have the proper clothes they need to stay warm this winter, don't stress it. When you think there is no way you're going to get through this day physically, financially or even spiritually, you better look up! Ask God for strength, don't ask for lighter burdens but ask for a stronger back.

"My flesh and my heart my fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" - Psalm 73:26

Where ever you are right now, at home on the computer, on your iPhone relieving your bodily needs or at starbucks on your laptop, take a moment and pray. Pray to God asking him that this year you will trust Him more to provide and that you should have a stronger back than last year.

PRAISE THE FATHER AND THE SON! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE AND PLEASE MAKE SURE WE STAY IN ENCOURAGEMENT THIS YEAR AND THAT WE ALL GROW IN FELLOWSHIP =]

What are YOUR plans?

Planning is a big part of life. You plan what college you go to, who you hang out with on the weekends, what kind of car you want to get, what kind of job you're looking for. All these things you either lay out on paper or run through your head constantly. We plan as we go on with our day. We plan on what to eat for lunch. We plan on what to read or watch when we get back home and get a chance to relax. All day long we plan things and we don't even know it.

How many times during all those plans have you consulted God about your plans? Have you realized yet that it's not your plans that matter but the plans that God has prepared for you that matter?

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed" - Proverbs 16:3

Wise words from a very wise. Mr. Solomon here is letting us know exactly what to do with our plans. As we go on with our lives our plans get bigger and bigger. For example, what house you are going to get? Who are you going to marry? How will you pay for such things? Etc.. How can any of those turn out well without the help of the Lord! You can stress and worry all day but until you lay your eyes upon God and hand Him all your problems and tell Him "Lord only you can do and conquer all things! I do Nothing" That is when your plans will succeed. That is when His plans become your plans.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

In this world but not OF it.

"They are not of the world, even as I am not of it." - John 17:16

How can John say he is not of the world when he lives in this world!? Simple. You can be in the world and not be of the world. Being of the world mean you satisfy your flesh rather than satisfying your soul or your spirituality that craves God. Oh how easy it is to fall directly into the ways of this world. As humans we strive to fit in and sometimes fitting in requires being OF this world rather than just in it. How many times have you caught yourself adapting to your surroundings without even knowing it?

Not too long ago, I was enjoying a nice game of basketball in my team sports class at my educational facility center. I love the game of basketball because it gives me an excuse to wear socks bigger than my arm and yell things like "FORE!!". Throughout this lovely game of basketball many of the players would reward another player with a compliment after he/she made a good shot. The compliment was the same every time. After each good shot that was made, I would hear somebody say "good sh**". Now I'm not the biggest fan of profanity but I never minded it that much. After a good twenty minutes of intense basketball(walking back and forth asking for the ball), I realized that I sometimes was saying "good sh**" after good shots too.

Without even realizing it, you adapt to your surroundings in unnoticeable ways. Sometimes it's a bad thing, sometimes it's not such a bad thing.But at all times we need to keep in mind that even though we are IN this world we ARE NOT OF this world! Whatever you do, make sure you acknowledge Jesus in all situations, breath, activity, meal, shower, rest, ANYTHING.
