you're WACK.

*blows the dust off*

see..i haven't neglected it..lol.

seriously though. i was doing some self-examination (again) and made a discovery about myself. if this applies to you, man..join the good fight with me. i encountered a brief hardship/trial/test (whatever you wanna call it) a couple days ago..and almost LOST it. my circle was like "what's wrong? why you sound like that?" i couldn't even effectively reply with any answer other than "i don't know. i'm just tired of stuff being the way it is..i'm just tired.."

*shaking my head in disgust at myself*

let me say..in no regard do i expect perfection of myself or expect not to react to occurrences like any other human. i am human, after all. but i profess to be a Jesus following, saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled, baptized & born again Christian who's COMPLETE trust and faith is in God and His Word. the Bible is chock-FULL of scriptures regarding the afflictions of God's people..wanna see some? here they go..(lol..sorry)


Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.


i could go on and on..but you catch my drift. so i'm dealing with myself like "you're WACK!" i KNOW God is faithful to perform that which He promised. i KNOW God is a supplier of NEEDS and i'm not giving Him room to be Jehovah Shalom (God of peace) or even Jehovah Shammah (God is there). i mean, He's going to be Who He is anyway (I am that I am = Jehovah) so why was i WORRIED?! worry = doubt = fear.
none of those equal FAITH. so why am i not exercising my faith by placing it in HE WHO IS FAITHFUL?! ya'll..i'm really not happy with myself about letting this slip.

to you my friend, this is something we have to apply to life..for real. faith is more than words..more than saying so..it's a matter of doing. everybody trying to go to Heaven, yeah? everybody trying to make God happy, right? Hebrews 11:6 tells us "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Proverbs 3:5 says "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding." understandably so! our understanding ain't worth 2 dead flies which is why we trust in Him. put our faith in Him. put our hope in Him. if not, we're WACK.
