Hello to all my Street Sense family and friends. It’s been a long time, but change has gone!!! This world in which we live is spiraling out of its orbit daily.
I believe we are living in perilous times. We must be ever so careful because distractions will easily take us off our square if we do not pay attention always. What looks good may not necessarily be good for us. The very thing or person we put our trust in will sometimes fail us and now we are sitting here bumping our thumbs together as if that’s going to rectify the situation that has befallen us.
We laugh, we cry, we live — and then we die! It is as simple as that. No man is an island, and no man stands alone. I heard it said that people who got people are the most blessed people in the world! We all need somebody. I need you, you need me, we’re all a part of God’s body. We must be ever so careful not to get hooked up with these kinds of people who have nothing else to do but to disgrace our name, to belittle us and to bring us down to the minutest level. God forbid!!!
We must be careful how we speak, what we speak, and who we speak it to, because we will be held accountable for the words that come out of our mouths. Whatsoever a man soweth, that also shall he reap. And every idle word will be judged and condemned. How we interact with people is key in shaping us to be the best we can be. Taking time out to understand the next person can sometimes aid and assist us in our decision making with things concerning us. Keeping an open mind is very important for our growth.
We also must be careful not to be driven by our emotions. We can’t always help our fellow man, no matter how much we desire to do so. It is sometimes way beyond our control. So, if it doesn’t fit, don’t force it. Things will play out just the way they were intended. We must sometimes get out of the way and let the cards fall where they may. At the end of the day, all will be revealed. The battle is not with many but against powers and principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places.
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God our father to the pulling down of strongholds. War is waged in our minds, which is where the true battle is fought. A lot of times we give the devil enemy too much credit for our downfalls, mishaps, and things — when in fact it’s the voices in our own heads that rule, supersede, and govern our lives. We must be mindful in discerning those voices. There are both good and evil voices and we need to learn to gravitate to the positive and not be hoodwinked or bamboozled by those opposing voices.
A lot of times, self can be the motivating factor for our demise. We must learn to separate the meat from the bones. We need to be ever so careful to try the spirit by the spirit to see if they are from God. May the Lord watch between me and thee while we are absent one from another.
