1 Corinthians 8
Inspired thots
I may think I know but that is really not truly knowing what I think I know.
Hence, it is wiser to love God without thinking how wise one is. Wisdom is not important compared to knowing God; for then, God will know me. (Gal. 4:9)
An idol is nothing iat all in the world. There is no other God but my Heavenly Father, from whom all things came and for Whom I live. (v6)
Hence, it is important to learn more about God ~ Know God ~ and build up the conscience so that it is not weak with foolishness and ignorance.
From darkness to light, a lot of unlearning and relearning need to take place.
With salvation, there is freedom. Then, there must be the unlearning and relearning process to know God and draw near to Him.
Food is not any consideration in building the faith or drawing closer to God.
But with freedom, comes responsibility ~ towards others, whom Christ has also died for.
When a brethren is hurt, we sin against Christ.
So hard to live a Christ-like life...
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

True Freedom
Galatians 5
Inspired thots
It is so important to keep my Freedom which Christ died to give me. I must not be foolish to be burdened again and be enslaved by the world and self.
It is so easy to be caught up and wrapped up in what can be seen and happening; to be 'following the crowd'.
When Christ is not given PRIORITY,
1) Christ will be of NO Value
2) Christ will be alienated
3) It is a fall from grace (again); yet, it is Grace that saves - Eph. 2:8,9
It is an IRONY that while we are called to be FREE, we tend to CHOOSE to be enslaved. (v13)
Deception is so powerful over man; but praise God, He is MIGHTY.
He has given us His Spirit to overcome.
~ thus, live by the Spirit and bear the Fruit of the Spirit

Continue on the path that leads to Bliss
James 1:19-27
Inspired thots
v26 'But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does'
This verse stands out today because it is refers to what I am working on now.
Praise God that He always relates, reminds and realigns me to His word and will.
If a man, any man, can look at God's law intently, ALL THE MORE the child of God -- me.
I need to look INTENTLY into the PERFECT LAW which is God's word - Ps. 19:7 (revives the soul)
God's word brings FREEDOM! I must choose freedom over bondage. I must keep in mind my Eternal Destiny.
It is a daily process--continues to do -- regularly. Discipline can only be cultivated through a habit - read God's word daily.
not forgetting ~ as age catches up, it is hard to remember. Constant reminders and recalls are important to help me not to forget. Going slow on matters will help me to 'sink' it down.
But as the true word teaches, DOING IT is the best way NOT to forget!
Reward / Consequence ~ Blessed! to be on the favored side... to be moving along smoothly... bliss.
