On my way to a bbq and an engagement party. Figured I’d leave you with some good controversy by Immortal Technique “Tell the Truth”. I think I’m doing pretty good for a dude whose laptop got stolen last week as far as posting. 1

SUGE KNIGHT Just Got Knocked The **** OUT

DISCLAIMER: I would never talk junk about Suge Knight, I am merely reporting what I heard somewhere else. (wink)

I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8 NIV

He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God. John 8:47

I read the first verse and it reminded me of how I felt some weeks ago when I read the second verse. Lately faith has been on my mind, the true nature of believing but when I read the message this morning it reminded me of another word; ACTION. I thought about what the passage was saying to me, I asked myself have I set the Lord before me? I must not have because to this very moment there are things that shake me, things that rattle my faith and rack my inner person. I know they are temporary but this still happens, I still get knocked off of my course at times. So then I thought about how I felt when I first read the second verse. I remember feeling like “do I not belong to God” because sometimes I pray and I don’t feel like I get a response. Maybe I did get a response and it wasn’t the response I was looking for but either way I started questioning myself, questioning my beliefs, and if I am truly walking in a better direction. Am I truly building a relationship with God, because I want to hear, I want him to be my right hand so that I will not be shaken.

Well that brings us back to the word ACTION. Only today where we have the drive thru mentality do we expect things instantly! You can not have a 6 pack if you don’t work out. We will not get a promotion at work if we do not perform to a higher standard than what is naturally expected of us. In order to get good grades in school, we labor hard hours of study. Think of this ACTION in the concept of relationships, you have to spend time, communicate, and work towards a common goal. So it is not that God is not our right hand, it is not that we don’t belong to God. You have to pardon me when I say we, if I am putting forth my own weaknesses on you than I apologize but these are the issues that I deal with. However, we have to work at this relationship with God, daily. This is the new workout plan for getting to know God, for beginning to love the God within, beginning to love ourselves. It’s going to take action. I have wanted a six pack for years, never got one though, you know why, I never worked at it consistently. So if I can’t work out one day and get the results I want, what makes me think that I can pray one time, or only pray when I’m down and think that everything is going to be alright. Noooo, there has to be a process, this must become a plan of ACTION, I must continually work on my relationship with the lord to gain a true relationship with him! Lets get together in a spiritual exercise, fellowship is like your buddy system at the gym. Together we can exercise our spiritual muscles, engage our spiritual minds AND MOVE TOWARD HEARING WHAT GOD says to us and not being shaken because he is our right hand. Peace and Grace be unto you!

February 12, 2008

Pardon me for slacking last week with my daily words, or daily scripture. At times we all get knocked off our horse or we just lose our drive for a hot second and then the Lord brings us back. Its funny because everyday that I don’t send an email, I’m thinking about sending the email but I just never get around to it, definitely laziness but possibly more of an internal struggle within ones self.

Today I received this word and while it was very short it was right on time……..

The Lord called to Adam, WHERE ARE YOU? Genesis 3:9

A friend of mine hit me with these words and he said God may be asking where are you because he has an assignment for each and every one us. He has these assignments for us, so he tests us to make sure we can bear the load. So when he was asking where am I this morning, he had already sensed that I was not where I may have been a few months ago. That by a small gesture of just sending out an email with his word could be part of the larger assignment. I pray that you have a good day, and if the message speaks to you then pray and ask the Lord what is his assignment for you! Grace and Peace be unto you.
