I thank the Lord that I have him

You know it’s funny how things workout. The Lord is constantly revealing to me things that I need to know about him.

Before we go any further, let’s have our moment of silence. 

At this time, I would like all of us to take a moment of silence and pray to God to help us to do his will. Take a minimum of 5 minutes and pray to God for this.

Now back to the show

I thank the Lord that I have him. 

You know it’s really funny. I’m still going through some trials and tribulations. But there is something more important than that. 

I remember when I was homeless, that really didn’t phase me. Being homeless on the streets wasn’t really something that scared me. I guess in part because I was only homeless for a few weeks, but I didn’t know that I was going to be homeless for only a few weeks. So there’s that.

Actually it really drove me more towards God. and finally when I went to jail, i called out to him. 

However, it’s interesting because there are things that are smaller than being homeless that get to me. 

Like I argue with my parents about certain things. And those things really make me want to forget God. 

Yesterday I learned that, that can’t be the case. However, in and of itself, it is a prayer come true. 

When I was a kid, I thought to myself that the only times that I was going to separate myself from God was when I was at my lowest. So, I cried out to God time and time again that no matter how low I got, I want to cry out more and more for him. The lower I got, the more I wanted to cry out for him. 

And sure enough, that is the case. I realized that the only times that I cry out for God, are when I’m practically at rock bottom. 

I have gotten better at it though. I mean, I’ve been praying to God all throughout all of these days and months.

Even this past time that I went to jail, I was praying to God in Jail. 

In reality, big things like going to jail and homelessness, don’t really phase me. 

It’s the small things that do. 

And that’s a prayer answered. 

I know that God answers prayers accordingly and justly. He answers the right answer all the time. That’s why he did that. Because I would often say to myself, let me not cry out for God when I’m doing good, only when I’m bad. And I meant that. 

Of course I didn’t know what I was saying, but it’s what was in my heart and mind at that time. And of course the Lord let me have it so that he can show me that his way is the correct way. 

I remember during those times, I read that Jesus said that “Hardly shall a rich man enter into the kingdom of God.” 

And so I associated that with success. And for some reason I still wanted success in my life over God. 

And that’s the reason why God gave me that, to show me that his way truly is the best way and money can’t bring happiness or peace. But rather, God gives happiness and peace.

What else has God shown me?

God has shown me that I need to work harder at my blog and all of the other aspects of life. 

I need to quit thinking about pleasure and I need to think more about working hard. 

The reason for that is that I’ve thought about the things in my life. And I see that none of the things that I’m going through right now would be happening if I had just worked hard from the start. 

If I had just worked hard at my grades, or a sport, or even music. Yes I know that I worked hard for music already, but there were times in my early music career that would’ve changed who I was if I had just worked a little harder. 

And in reality it wouldn’t have been too much for me to do. I knew how to do it, i was just struggling to do it out of sheer laziness. 

Sometimes I think to myself that my blog would’ve been a big success by now If I had just worked diesel from the start. It’s a regret, but I can’t think about that anymore. I have to work hard for my future. 

I’ll be honest a lot of days, you might see me post up 4 or 5 posts on this blog post. But in reality, that’s not me trying my hardest. 

Me trying my hardest would come out to be around 7 or 8 or maybe even 10 posts a day. Seriously. And each would probably be around 1,000 words.

And I don’t try hard enough with God. I don’t try hard enough with all of the things that I do and if I did, it would be perfect. I know so. 

Why? Because the Lord has given me the hand where everything that I touch turns to gold. 

I’m not trying to brag or anything. But seriously, all of the things that I work hard at, I become the expert in it. 

God has also shown me that I need to work harder at my current Job. I need to work hard at all of the things that I do.

I need to work harder at my music, my relationship with God, my relationship with my parents, my relationship with my sisters, I need to work harder at my life. 

And I can’t help but to feel so happy because the Lord is showing me the things that I needed to do from the start. 

I say all of this with happiness in my heart. I say all of this with happiness in my mind, that the Lord is showing me his will. His will is that I need to work harder at all of the things that I do. 

I have peace in my heart. I have peace in my mind. And I couldn’t thank anyone else but the Lord about that. 

Thank the Lord that I have peace because it is the Lord who had victory today. 

Now for the future.

Now for the future, I will be trying to do a few things in my life. I will try and make longer content more often. I will try and make a minimum of 5 blog posts a day, each with a minimum of 1200 words.

I will be working hard at my music and songwriting. I will commit to writing one song at the end of my day so that my songwriting skills can develop. 

I will read more bible and pray more often. I will pray for absolutely everything that I do.

I will pray each time that I blog. I will pray each time that I write songs. I will pray each time that I read the bible. I will pray each time I step out of my door. I will just be a praying man. 

And it will be God who guides me more towards him each day. 

I will do my best to get right with God first and then I will move on to different projects in my life. 

I will talk more about the bible and God each day that I write in this blog because that was my main goal from the start of this blog.
