Ephesians 5:15-17

As a disciple of Jesus Christ I have to use my time, my limited time, to the best of my ability. I have to walk in the wisdom that God provides for me. I have to make sacrifices in my life according to what is important. As I’m sitting here in Antigua Guatemala, with only 4 hours of wifi access a week I realize the little importance of it, especially when it comes to social media. The enemy definitely uses social media to distract me in my walk with the Lord. I strongly believe that people are too connected. No one needs to know everything that is going on in anyones life 24/7. I know that this is true for me, and I’m sure others, but when I look at social media I rarely end up closing the Facebook tab feeling satisfied with what I had just looked at. I usually end us seeing something or reading a status that I didn't care to read and it can ruin my mood in an instant. On the other hand, not all media is negative, some is an extremely useful tool in which the Lord has blessed us with, just not all of it is worth our time. Even when it comes to the music that we listen to. Is it strengthening our walk with the Lord or is it not? I’m not saying “Hey all Christians have to give up secular music.” But all i’m doing is asking if that is the best use of your time? Most things all lawful but not all things are profitable. And I don't want to waste the time that God gave me allowing myself to possibly stumble where I don't need to.
God gave us this body and the time we have in it, as a gift. This time isn't our own. We should be glorifying the Lord with the time that we have and making more disciples and anything that takes us away from the work of the Lord shouldn't be in our lives, let alone be a priority.

James 3:13-17

The Lord’s heart is a vast ocean of love and mercy but more often than not I forget how deep and how wide that is. Both bitterness and jealousy are things that I struggle with on a daily basis. I have a hard time forgiving people the same way that my Savior forgave me. I struggle to not be jealous of the people around me. Being a girl there is always something telling me me that I have to be the prettiest and that I have to be the skinniest, but why? If the Lord is perfection He can not possibly create word that is imperfect. “I praise, you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works. My soul knows it very well.” My God doesn't make mistakes. Selfishness is another one of those things that can try to take root in my life. I can look at what I think I have and think that I cant give that up because I worked so hard for it. But you know what, it wasn't my work. Nothing that I do has ever been done in my own power. All of my power is of the Lord and who am I...

Psalm 111:10

What is wisdom? The quality of having experience, knowledge and good judgement. (New Oxford Dictionary) How often am I willing to hear my Lord’s wisdom? Not as often as I should, thats for sure. The great thing about our Lord is the fact that He didn't need to come to the earth to show us He understood and had the experience, knowledge, and good judgement, but he did. Jesus Christ came to this earth with the wisdom of the Lord in Him. He had an ear willing to listen to God’s voice. Being more like my Lord, Jesus Christ, is something that I try to strive for on a daily basis, and every single day I fall short of that because I am imperfect, but if I carry the wisdom of the Lord with me I don't have to trip up on the little things. If I practice wisdom and I mean really practice it, I can only imagine what God will show me in return.  God calls us to love each other unconditionally because why? Because it wise. My Lord understands how wise it is to love one another as He has ...

Revelation 1:9

Here John is introducing himself to the seven churches in Revelations as their brother and their partner. This speaks volumes on his character showing how humble he is saying how he is one of them. That he is just another follower of the Lord. John is saying how he is a brother and partner in the great tribulation, the kingdom, and the patient endurance. The Lord calls us to endure for His sake, He calls us to stick out the tribulations and you know what is so amazing? We will be welcomed into the kingdom of God for doing so. My life is but a pencil mark compared to the length of eternity. But one crazy thing about this pencil mark is that our eternity depends on what we do here. So when looking at the grand scheme of things how can we not patiently endure for His names sake? How can we not aim to love the Lord with all that we are? The Lord promises us great and wonderful things in the Kingdom of God. We need only to endure the hardships and tribulations. How sweet will it be when th...
