He makes it quite clear that we must be on alert at all times.
Making sure that the inner man is obeying only the voice of the Holy Spirit.
HEBREWS 5:8
Though He was a son He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.
So let us rejoice in our sufferings, they are the very things that show us what we are truly
made of, and they are the things that cultivate the character of God in us.
PHILIPPIANS 1:12
But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually
turned out for the furtherance of the gospel.
So whatever situation we are faced with, lets in all our ways recognise what God is
teaching us, not what God is teaching others, that’s His business not ours.
THE GAMES WE PLAY
In this journey, (swimming in the river of life) we will most definitely come across many
fish, some big, some small.
This of course depends on our perspective and interpretation. We can see them as obstacles
or blessings, problems or opportunities, we have the power of choosing to encourage all
along the way forward or we can choose to play games with each other, that is entirely up
to us.
THE BLAME GAME
All the characters we come across, are for our benefit and our growth.
When is there a feeling of disharmony in our lives?
It is not our minister.
It is not our spouse.
It is not our family.
It is not our children.
It is not our friends.
It is not our brother or our sister.
It is not our job and it is not the person in the sweetshop.
So what is it that is causing the trouble?
Now please get this: It is our lack of IN-SIGHT.
This can occur when we see from a dim light, a limited perspective.
Information or options that we have not considered before may need to be looked at.
Therefore our vision maybe distorted, this can lead us to blame externally.
The adjustments (internally not externally) can be made.
Not the quick fix, but the long term.
