OK, life has been quite interesting to say the least. Nothing seems to be working out and the world seems to be on life support. The economy is at it's worst since the depression or maybe worse? However, God is still God and that has not change.
Well, after the last few encounters with "religious" leaders, who professes leadership credentials through various accreditations, I was really discouraged. I will say it again, really discouraged. Not that I was discouraged about their accreditations, but by their perspective of growing. It seems after all that they have attained, they have arrived. Their perspective has been solidified by their accreditations that as leaders that leads the way of the Lord, they can learn from no one unless they have the same status or the like.
This is just a confession, and so I can repent and keep moving forward.

Back to God
Romans 1
"Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
It has been a while since I have had a personal time with God here.
I figured, or finally got some sense knocked into me.
God is God. There are no ifs or buts. There is no dispute whether if he is there or not.
Just from this little absence, I was hoping to do it on my own again.
I know God is there, and I know the scriptures. But each morning I was pre-occupied by something else, namely tyring to find my next "job."
I have to say, my "job" does not help me in feeing better or knowing God is there.
It is quite the contrary.
My happiness, joy, faith, and confidence comes from God alone and the rest relies on my perspective of God.
To God be the Glory.
