PRINCIPLES OF FAITH

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7

Man contends, strives, falsely builds, destroys, interacts and often walks in solitude alone. These are things of the human condition, and we are indeed human. But then we bring these things into our walk with God. This should not be so. God is majesty, joy, grace, peace, and an undefinable glory of life itself.

These are the things we should reflect out, if we are truly His children.

We live in this world and are responsible for our lives in it. But we often lose sight of the HOW we should conduct ourselves in it. Being a person of faith requires walking IN that faith at all times. It should be WHO we are and WHOSE we are. We MUST express in this life, so does it not make sense that to prolong it, as in eternal heaven, we should do and reflect those things of God in life.

Hardships come, I know personally of the hardships life can bring, to you AND to those you love. I used to be able to play the guitar professionally, yes I was a musician, but now can not play one. It gives me great pain for it was a way out of the stresses of life and it brought me great peace. So what about now? I find my peace in the joy of the Lord, and walking His path of righteousness,

I count myself blessed to know God and to know the realness of His presence in my life.

So I do not cling to the things of the world. We ALL need to live in it, yes, but we must not be OF it, in any manner. We must walk in the faith whereby we are called. This then becomes our living testimony before the throne of God. We must walk in righteousness.

“Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.” 2 Samuel 22:25

So we see that God blesses according to our righteousness.

So all the praying for riches, unmerited treasures of life, these are all in vain and will gain you nothing. Only your walk of righteousness gains you anything, even life eternal. So this is what we should seek and stop our contending, our striving, the seeking to build in and of this world.

We must STOP our paths of destruction, false interactions, and walk uprightly IN this world before His throne. Then we gain everything.

Be blessed, be loved and be at peace. May the light of God's presence and glory fire the brilliance of your souls. You are greatly love.
