CONFIDENCE IN GOD.

CONFIDENCE IN GOD. 

Jeremiah:17.7 
 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. 8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

--------------------------------------------
 The heart is the remote control of the body. Emotions that drive the body come from the heart. Confidence is an element of the heart, doubt is an element of the heart, fear is an element of the heart, faith is an element of the heart.

Confidence however, is an element that sets the elements of the heart to a given focus. A focus such as a personality. Confidence will drive faith towards the focus, confidence will drive love towards the the focus. It can drive away the negative perceptions you had before about the personality in question. Confidence builds your character upon a personality.

Many times, we are overcome by the devil because we lack ultimate confidence in God. We are overcome by fears because of the limited confidence we have in God. The joy on our faces that makes us green is lost because of the tender confidence. Overcome by worries due to lack of confidence in the ultimate power of God to provide.

Within the above , confidence is compared to a tree that is besides flowing waters. Such a tree has ultimate knowledge and confidence of its provisions. It knows that its water and food will come from the river. It depends on the river. It sends out roots with confidence that the river will provide. And because of such confidence, it stays green and healthy.
How many times have you limited your confidence in the Lord, the provider,......and have trusted other means ?

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

RADICAL SOUL

RADICAL SOUL Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. --------------------------------------------    In our world today, it is easier to have your light set under the table than to have it be on top of the table. It is easier to move in a group than to move alone. Standing for the right is harder nowadays than it was those days. Not because the governments have become more ruthless than they were those days, but because powerful governments of social influence have arisen than they were those days. The weapons available today are more stronger than what it was those days with the luxuries available...the developments. The 'social governments' have set standards which will not tolerate any fickle person in their space. And being a standing army of a government we represent...one of divine agendas, means we need to be rooted in one way. We need the spirit of typicality.  Of course...
