You Might Want To Pay Close Attention

Galatians 6;7-9 (KJV)

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.


I really didn't want to speak this, out loud, but circumstances dictate that it be spoken. "Don't GIVE UP, GIVE IN, or GIVE AWAY to the enemy just yet!!!! Hold on for a lil' bit longer!! Trust, you are being seen, and relief IS on the way!!!"

In today's society so much is geared towards our quick relief. Whether it be from work stress, body aches and pains, household chores, family obligations, and marriages. If you get tired of something or someone, just go over to here and relieve yourself of that issue. Why is it so simple? Why would we, as people, allow for the process to get that simplistic? Are you paying attention yet?

What God is relaying to us, through this certain set of scriptures, is that if you ONLY concern yourself with the "what feels good to my flesh" aspects of life then you will have to deal with those outcomes that are, only, fixed to your flesh. Are you paying attention yet? C'mon now, this is your encouragement. We gather, together, to fellowship and encourage one another to stay aware of God: his goodness, his commandments, and his will for our lives. But, all of that cannot be focused on when you are dealing in the "what feels good to my flesh" parts of life. See, I really am not trying to put everyone's business out there in the street (because I would have to put mine out there too), but I can see, even now, that there are those of us who are rationalizing, compartmentalizing, and febreezerizing all of their "business". Why? Aren't you paying attention?

The word states that God is not mocked. He IS NOT mocked. You can sweep, hide, sell, throw away, or bury all of what you did to PLEASE THAT FLESH, but God said you WILL REAP whatever you sowed unto it. Like when you had that chick come over the other night, so you two could discuss church matters. Yes, the one with that nice, track star body; that looks like she WOULD keep her mouth shut in the sanctuary: as to allow you to continue to play the role of innocent 'Mr. Waiting on the Lord'. That ain't gonna stay hidden for long. Paying attention yet? Or what about you? Yes you, who invited that 60 year old man over for dinner. Then, somehow, ended up showing him what goes on in that new 'chair dancing/lap dancing' class you are taking; even put on the costume that the instructor recommended. All before stopping the music and dance because you just "remembered" that you needed to get up early, to work at that extra job; to make some extra money in order to pay your rent. But, accepted that dude's "offering" so the floor-show would continue. Yup, that will be known too. Are YOU paying attention?

Those 'oh so far to the left' examples (because I know my good Brothers and Sisters in Christ would never employ such trickery and tactics) are used to illustrate what the Word actually means. It means that if and when you begin to live to satisfy the flesh, you are ONLY going to have to deal and answer to the flesh. But, if and when you begin to live to satisfy the Spirit; the Holy Spirit: God, you are ONLY going to have to deal and answer to God. Please tell me you ARE paying attention now? When concerning yourself with the successful completion of performing God's will for your life, all that other stuff moves out of the way. Not because you will not have to deal with it, but because you WILL rest in the assurance of God; of his Wisdom, Knowledge, and Power. Your life will become more calm, more delightful, more enjoyable.

Then we have the further explanation; the qualifier of this assuance. That would be verse 9. It expresses what God so understands about his children. That we, often times, get a lil' bit frustrated, aggrevated, restless, and whatever other adjectives we could use to describe a child that is on the verge of throwing a temper tantrum. And, since God is the best parent, he bends down: to calm us down, he says, "Hold on just a little bit longer. Trust, you will receive what you are suppose to have. If you just be a little more patient, and not show out in front of all these people."
Okay, that is my imagination of what He would say, but you DO have the word right there; to know what He does say about the matter. You gotta be paying attention now?

Brothers and Sisters, it is quite necessary that we all try our best to walk this encouragement out today. There are a few of us, me included, who are holding on with that last bit of strength. God sees you! That is why He asked me to make this encouragement, on this day. Because He SEES YOU!!! He knows you are serious in your pursuit of His will for your life, and that you are "feeling" weak right around this day. He SEES you!!! He understands how simple it is Sister, because that dude IS after you. And, that dude DOES have everything that will make your life easier. Plus you already have the dress picked out, in your mind, and the house this dude has IS by the ocean; in Malibu. This dude has set that Range Rover: the white one you like, with the sport package you described, in the garage. You would not have to work ever again. Yup, God sees all of that. That is why God had you to read this blog on this day. So you could see that God SEES you!!! Brother, God knows it is a hard fought struggle to maintain your position as His child. Yes, you have been unemployed for almost two years. Yes, you are barely making rent every month. Yes, it doesn't seem like you will ever own a vehicle again. Yes, your heart aches from dreams deferred, hopes dashed, and expectations destroyed. But, what you HAVE TO KNOW is that God SEES you!!! He sees all of that, and He allowed for me to tell you (to SCREAM IT to myself) that what he has for you will cause tears to stream from your eyes because what you think you have lost, serving Him, CAN NOT EVER come close to what He has for you. What God has for those who serve Him and willingly follow His will for their lives, is incomprehensive. My limited range of knowledge cannot articulate what glorious things are to come. Even now, what you, who read this, are experiencing is solely between you and God. I couldn't describe it if I tried. All I can say is Hallelujah!!!! Hallelujah!!!! And, Hallelujah!!!!
