Return To The Lord

Proverbs 22:5-7


"Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards his soul will be far from them.

⁶ Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.

⁷ The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender."

God says, Our steps have been ordered by the Lord.  It is crucial that we give up worldly living for Godly living.  Most of our world has not done this, so we keep finding bumps and hazards in the road, as we seek a better life.  However, we must ask ourselves, is this life we're seeking benefiting us or God?  God asks, that we talk about Him in the morning, noon, and night, and meditate on His word to seek our inheritance.  I understand that some of us may not believe we are living perverse lives, but satan is very cunning and God much wiser to his tricks.  The fruits of the Spirit must be trained in daily to see satan's craftiness.  We are the captains of our salvation and the bible is our training guide in how to receive it.  Our words and actions must be aligned to biblical principals to succeed.  God is not going to come down and do anything that He knows we can do through His word.  He commands, that we work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.  Fear and trembling, those are very strong words and precise I've come to learn.  Most of us have not been trained up in our bibles as children, so when chaos and turmoil breakout we can run back to God.  No, we just feed on the matter and make ourselves even sicker by the out come.  The rich are ruling over us and there's no sight of peace in sight, and the borrower is locked in debt, serving the lender and not God.  Return to the Lord.

(Psalms 23:1-3)  "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.² He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.³ He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake."

Blessings to all who return to our Lord with a willing heart,
