Cry Babies

If  you've ever read the biblical book of Judges you'll read some amazing things that went on back then. 

The Isaelites didn't listen to God. God dealt with them by turning them over to their enemies. Then they cry out to God. God relieves them of their pain by blessing them. They forget about God.  The same process happens over again and again. 

Haven't we been there done that, as well? Haven't we done the same things at some point in our lives? Oh no? Let's go down memory lane shall we? God tells us not to do something that we know is wrong. We know the consequences, but we don't care, because it's just too good to pass up. So we don't listen and the pain, trouble, issues, and circumstances present themselves and it's our fault. Then God helps us get out of it.

We must make lasting change or we'll end up being lifetime cry babies.

God is so awesome, isn't He? He loves His people. Yet we must not take His grace for granted. It could run out you know? I'm not saying we won't fall short. I'm just saying we have to make lasting change with the intent to do better the next time.

Then do better, because we are better.

Otherwise our mentality is that: we slipped out of that one. We're feeling good now -- real good, whew we got out of it. Then we forget about God. Then we turn around and boom, we're back to square one. The same trouble and issues are back and they're even worse this time. The process starts again. When are we going to learn? 

At some point we have to get off the Similac (baby milk product) and start drinking regular milk. For some of us it's overdue.

Would you agree?

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately.

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
