Why are We looking to the World for answers?

I must admit that I am going through menopause and it's and up and down journey, but God is still great! What's funny is that He is still talking, but by the time I get home I can't remember what He said. LOL! I will try to do better.

When I initially started this blog I just wanted to write my thoughts about God, His Word, and the life that He has given me.  My past, my present, and hopefully my future.  I knew that I wanted people to be able to come and get the straight the Word of God and how it has impacted my life, but lately something has changed and not necessarily for the best. 

I started being more mindful of what some might say. I didn't want my local leaders to think that I was talking about "them."  So, I WILL SAY THIS FOR THE LAST TIME AND MOVE ON......WHEN GOD SPEAKS TO MY HEART IT IS EITHER ABOUT ME, WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH, REVELATION KNOWLEDGE, OR THE BODY OF CHRIST. FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN HIM WE ARE ONE AND THERE IS NO DIVISION AMONG US. THIS BLOG WILL HOPEFULLY ENCOURAGE, EDIFY, CORRECT, REBUKE THE DEVIL, AND GLORY GOD AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT!!!!!! THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS, HOPES, DREAMS. PRAYERS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANYONE ELSE'S OPINIONS OR QUOTES UNLESS DULY NOTED.  -I guess this is my disclaimer.

Now, I will write what He has placed upon my heart and prayerfully be led by the Holy Spirit that He has placed within me without shame or fear of man.  I will not water down my thoughts.  I think that there is already enough of that going on, so please forgive me for not staying true to God and what He has made me at this time and also what He is molding for future use. 

These are just random thoughts:

1.  Why do we look to the world for answers instead of looking to the Word of God?

2.  When a celebrity has four or more homes, a fleet of cars, a private jet, etc.. yet they are telling us about conserving

     energy....What!!??

3.  Why do we look to the world to tell us how to raise our children. No spanking....use the time out system?

4.  The world says, "Get all that you can and can all that you get."

5.  The world says to kill your enemies.

Look to God for all the answers:

1.  Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2.  Psalm 1:1

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

3.Proverbs 13:24

He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.
 

4.  Acts 20:35

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

5.Luke 6:35

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Refreshed and Moving Forward!!!!

Blessings to All,
