workout your own salvation
Proverbs 4:23 Keep [Guard] your heart
with all diligence, for out of
it spring the issues of life.
But now in our day to day life we are faced with
situations and people who are constantly trying to shift
us from our position. How do we ignore these people
and these situations? Guard your hearts and minds.
When a person is in a bad mood usually they want to
drag someone else to give them company in their
position. This is where selfishness is allowed. Do not
allow someone else to shift you from your own position
to entertain theirs. Choose not to go there with them,
in other words ignore their invitation. For others you
could be trying to apply the word of God e.g. showing
kindness, gentleness etc. but they throw it back at you.
This is when you have to be mature enough to apply the
word saying - do everything as if for God and not for
man. It is Christ that you are aiming to please and you
shall surely please Him when you do His word. The one
throwing it back at you is just clueless and ignorant and
therefore, cannot be taken to heart.
With situations, the word of God says - be anxious for
nothing but by prayer and supplication. Any situation
that is out of your control is a call for prayer. Don't
meditate on it or try to resolve it outside of Christ’s
counsel. You will only entangle yourself in frustration.
Pray! then listen to what God is saying about it.
Our hearts and minds are to be constantly fixated on
Christ whom our responsibility is to please. He is a
fountain of answers and solutions.
May we have continued wisdom to work out our own
salvation!
FOR WITH YOU IS
THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE;
IN YOUR LIGHT
WE SEE LIGHT.
~PSALM 36:9~
