CHASTEN THE CLOCK

It seems since we don't have eternity, meaning we die eventually, that we often chase the clock.  Well life IS a vapor right? Yet and still, TIME MANAGEMENT is a huge issue to those of us who want to make our time mean something, or want a lot to happen in a shorter period of time. (Often called collapsing time-frames)

Too often we chase the clock trying to "get it" & miss out on Time--the seasons of opportunities to love on & serve good.

Many have spent too much time chasing after the wrong things, instead of investing our time into those things that truely matter.  Ususally its too late when we realize that a cherished season has passed us. 

WORK WHILE IT IS DAY, BUT ALSO LOVE OTHERS WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE.

WHO IS TALENTED?

In the Bible is speaks of how the kingdom business is handled. Pleas read the link provided and seek understanding on HOW God operates and expects US to conduct ourselves as good stewards.

Talk is cheap, Action is an investment

Proverbs 14:23
In all labor there is profit:
but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.  
(KJ2000 - sent from CadreBible)

Talk is not mearly cheap, but it drags down your economy.  As James says, let your walk display your living faith.

As my good friend Issac Kelly said Sunday to paraphrase;

TALK IS CHEAP, SO BE ABOUT IT!
(What else is there to say?)

THE ABILITY OF INABILITY

Its Monday and someone out there isn't happy about it.  Why?  Because they are either;
   1) Working a job with no value to them, or
   2) Can't seem to accomplish any moral godly good where they
        are (perhaps God is prodding you elsewhere?)

Let the Spirit remind you in the scriptures:

John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.   (KJ2000 - sent from CadreBible)

Make your mondays more memorable and ABIDE IN CHRIST TODAY.

BEAUTIFUL EULOGY

There are services that allow you to write great eulogies

Have you ever been to a funeral where they said such wonderful things about the deceased, but you knew they were lies.  It is said that we shouldn't speak ill of the dead. I totally understand how difficult it is to consider a loved one going to hell.  So I won't dwell on that.

SO WHAT ABOUT YOU?

In Romans 8:13 it says;
For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.   (KJ2000 - sent from CadreBible)

I want to focus on putting to death the flesh. We too often look on our past with a "good times" outlook, like we were not in bad standing in those days.  I submit to you in the spirit of a beggar at the red light:

WHY LIE, I NEEDED JESUS

EVERYDAY is a funeral for your past foolishness and the birth of a newer you. IF YOU ALLOW GOD TO HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR EVERYDAYS.


Speak ill of what is dead, and share the testimony of how God has changed you. LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO.

1ST THINGS 1ST...NEVER GETS WORSE.

Did you know that everything you do can be done with Jesus Christ in mind? Col 3:17.  He is always seeking your good, so the focus is not "why am I not getting my way" but rather "How is God to get His way out of this situation from me".
By putting God 1st, your business gets handled properly.

Music IS Service

I sat down yesterday with a good friend Russel Guess (@GuessV) at his studio and we discussed things about music and the music business whils listening to tracks and inspirations for future tracks.  He's a producer.  He made a profound statement in regards to his spiritual walk as it relates to music.  That music is service.

Think about it.  Everyone has had a moment where they have heard a song that has touch them, pulled on their emotions (why do you think they use soundtracks on movies?) or taken you back down memory lane.  A painter told Russel that he felt music was the most powerful artform because it pulls you in even before you understand the words, often leading to situations where you have to pause and truthfully evaluate "what it this that I listening to?"  Everyone has their song, jam or jawn.  I am sure even God has a few songs that He enjoys.

It has been said that you can rightly judge a culture by the music they listen to.  Perhaps there is some music you create or have heard that could change someones life.  So consider the powerful effect of music on a soul, and see how you may use it to be of service to others and connect in meaningful ways.
