Oh, how our thoughts, attitudes and behaviors keep us stuck in a rut.  We keep things we will never use again and clutter our minds with thoughts that are destructive to our sense of well being.  We read everything from mysteries and drama to romance novels.

We spend hours on social media, watch endless hours of TV, drink to numb the pain of living, shop and buy thing we don’t need.  Why do we do all these things ?  Many will say its for pleasure and enjoyment but deep down inside - its to forget about your troubles, your worries, your struggles in life.  Its an escape to avoid the real issues in your life.  

My friends what truly matters in your life is understanding who has created you, fashioned you, molded  you, and given you all that you are today !!!    1 Corinthians 8:6   “There is only One God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and One Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.“    Let your thoughts, attitudes and behaviors be directed in complete reverence, wonderous, and fearful awe of all His greatness and almighty power.

Three additional verses of scripture to provide  encouragement today.  Security in Wisdom found in the book of Proverbs.

Proverbs 3: 5,6  “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths, Do not be wise in your own eyes;  Fear the Lord and depart from evil.”

Proverbs 4: 4,5  “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commandments and live.  Get wisdom ! Get understanding !  Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth, Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;  Love her, and she will keep you.  Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom and in all your getting get understanding.

Proverbs 4: 23  “ Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”

God’s greatest desire is to have you in a close personal relationship with Him and the only way for that to happen is to spend time with Him on a daily basis through prayer and reading His words.  Don’t delay - start today and discover a life worth living for.    

The greatest book ever written is meant to be read, studied, and then applied in your life- not left collecting dust among all the other clutter you have stuffed away.  Unclutter your mind and find true peace and joy that only Christ Jesus can provide.
