The Battle in the Mind

 The Battle in the Mind:



If it wasn't for the Lord, I would have been destroyed

If it wasn't for the Lord, I could not survive now

But even after all that the Lord has been doing in my life,

I find pride dwelling subtly, in the depths of my heart.

I try to fight battles that I am not supposed to fight

I try to dwell on mundane thoughts that wreck my own soul.

Amidst all this chaos,

I hear a distant voice speaking to me :

Fall down in adoration of Him who sits on the throne

Praise the Lord

Bow before Him

Praise His Holy Name

Give Thanks to Him

For the battle in the mind cannot be won by anger or wrath or worry or stubbornness or revelry

It can be won, only by singing praises to Him

Oh! why am I delaying?

Oh! what is causing me to deter?

It is my mind.

I have not yet tamed it.

Lord, tame my mind to sing you praises

Tame my mind to fall down before you

For I am just a breath

And my days are but nothing

If it wasn't for the Lord, I would be nothing.

Prayer:

Dear God,

Everyday we come across this battle that rages in our minds. We think about those who hurt us, we think of how we can take revenge, we think of the things we lost, we feel sorry for ourselves and we think of our misery and helplessness and then we think of our greatness and the list goes on and on.  How we just hate to think any of it. All these thoughts only end up defiling us at the end of the day. But then we realize that singing praises to my God is the right thing to do. Singing him praises makes all our burdens disappear. It helps us to know you more and put every other thing in the right perspective. For you alone Oh God deserve my praises and you alone are worthy. 

In Jesus Name We Pray

Amen.

FAITHFUL

 FAITHFUL               Who is like you,  Lord   God Almighty?        You,  Lord , are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.                Psalms 89: 8              Love and Faithfulness are like two sides of the coin when we think of God's character. He is full of love and He is a very faithful person.             How do you imagine God when you think of Him? I imagine God like the One that Ezekiel saw in a vision. Ezekiel 1: 26, 27 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.   I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Ezekiel saw God in His glory. God had the appearance of man yet glowing in brilliance. Remember He made us in His image! Here is a picture to boost your imagination!

The Purpose

Image
THE PURPOSE God's creation                    God's creation is beautiful. Genesis 1 briefs how God created different things in 6 days  and he rested on day 7.                 Genesis 1: 1-3               In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and morning were the first day.             God saw there was a need. It says that the earth was formless, empty and dark. When God saw the need, He started to do something about it. He spoke and light appeared. God was pleased and called the light as "day" and the darkness as "Night".                 1. God sees a need.                2.

The Journey

Image
                                                                                            The Journey At birth, a baby travels from its mother's womb and comes into this world. As it grows, it transitions from the loving confines of its home to school then to college, workplace, setting up a household and raising up children of its own kind and then becomes old and departs from this Earth. It’s a journey every human being undertakes. It’s a journey that everyone is familiar with. But do you know there is another journey we all travel?             Just as our flesh has its own course, so also the spirit that God kept inside of us has a course to run. I like to call it "The Journey of Faith". The journey of our flesh will come to an end when we die. But the spirit has an eternal journey to undertake.           This journey appears in the Bible for the first time in Genesis 12, when God calls our father Abraham to go to the land which He shows him.    Genesis 12: 1
