Good morning and Happy Tuesday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past,. The future is unlimited. As we continue these teachings of Perception/Reality in March based on Numbers 11:4-6 and Deuteronomy 8:2-5. One of the things that I have done in my life is talk negatively before things have had a way of working out for the better. There have been so many times that I have place my own self in situations and then I questioned God why is this happening to me. One of the most recent things that I did was to ask God to help as one of the places where I loved to work at, Tyson Foods laid me off. It was a job where I could eat everyday for free, get enough food to feed almost everyone that I know and then some. But I could not advance and I asked God to remove me so I could advance but did not understand at the time when I lost my job it was to begin something better. In Reality I had begun to Eat Humble Pie.
As I get into this teaching of Reality; Eating Humble Pie, I want to define the phrase humble pie. Of course I go to my source of definitions which is dictionary.com. Humble Pie means as follows;
humility forced upon someone, often under embarrassing conditions. In my questioning of what I had God asked to do for me, I was on the verge of not getting what he had for me. Reality: Eating Humble Pie. This teaching is coming from Deuteronomy 8:2-5, the second base scriptures of the month of Perception and Reality in March
As we come into the Word of God I begin in Deuteronomy 8:2. In this verse the people of God have been in the wilderness for forty years it was because it was to test their hearts and to humble them. In
coming to God to tell him I needed to get out of my security position at Tyson Foods to get ready to come into a position that deals with my degree in Human Resource, I had to best tested and become humble. Reality; Eating Humble Pie.
In continuing this teaching of Reality:Eating Humble Pie, I continue with Deuteronomy 8:3. In this verse God humbled the people of God and showed them that man does not live by bread alone but by
the things that comes from the mouth of our Lord. I was worried about how I would make ends meet just by working one job but had to remember that I still had a job and was going to school to better myself . Eating Humble Pie.
As I come to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Reality:Eating Humble Pie I finish in Deuteronomy 8:4-5. In this verse God tells the people of God that he made sure they had clothing and
not one of them had their feet to swell. But he had to make them appreciate what he did for them. I could not fathom that I asked God to remove from a position from where I ate for free and still was able to maintain and sustain the life I was used to. Reality: Eating Humble Pie.
In conclusion one of the things that I found out was that God will do what you ask of him but in his time. There are others who have had humility forced upon someone, often under embarrassing conditions. We questioned God when we thought that our mortgage/rent was not getting paid when he had something way better for us if we had to move. There are some of us who are looking at a repossession of our cars and have asked God to come and fix it but questioned why he allowed the car to be taken. Jobs, money, people who mean us no good, are removed from our lives when we go to God but then we can not see what he has for us we question him and most times have to Eat Humble Pie. That's a Reality. For the same people who made it to the promise land were the same ones complaining in Numbers 11:4-6, and wound up Eating Humble Pie. God will do it when we ask but in his time and in his way. Humble Pie is not good but God is. We have to trust him. I thank God for this teaching and ask him to bless all who may read this and those who may not read this. Please join me for another teaching later on this week.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
