Securing your private thoughts with God can be quite liberating! You can be apart of a world gone crazy and have peace in God and your thoughts. Once you understand you will be misunderstood, you won't always be liked, and that you will be unjustly criticized by others at times, you then move on to a level where your main goal is to not impress, but be impressed by God, and what He has to say and ask of you. It is here that the drama of life begins to decapitate. I am learning to commune more with God and receive more of His inner peace. God is teaching me and I am learning. Proverbs 3:5 & 6 "Lean not on your own understanding, {or that of others} but trust in the Lord; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make you path straight."
In my recent study and walk with God I have been changing things up in how I commune with God. So day before yesterday I asked God to teach me Prov 3:5 & 6. Well yesterday was the day from Hell where nothing went well. I was not liked, misunderstood, and critizised, but I kept my thoughts on the matter to myself, chose not to defend myself, with an expression of I am sorry...but that's just the way it is and moved on with my day! I had to reign my anger in, and you know what, it was doable! I ignored a lot of disagreeing comments, and facial expressions, and I am sure hand expressions as I walked away! Guess what, at the end of the day I was tired, but I found out I could do things God's way as He requests and advises to live an abundant life.
Just like rule #2, I am, as hard as it may be, going to incorporated this into my walk with God too. I won't nail it down perfectly, or one hundred percent of the time, but I got a goal to accomplish, in the name of Jesus!
When the end of my days come, I am going to enter the gates of heaven with my eyes wide open, with as much of God's Word and will incorporated in me on the front end. No way am I going to miss out, and be deceived by the devil thinking there will be pixie dust to straighten me out once I get there. LOL Nope, nope, nope, I plan to work The Plan and have IT work me, so I can sail past the gates of hell and through the gates of heaven!
