Pleasure's Deceit.

                                                                       Pleasure’s Deceit.


All that Glitter Ain’t Gold.


The seed that fell among thorns stand for those “who hear”, “But” as they go on their way they are “Choked” by life’s worries, riches and “Pleasures”, and “They Do Not Mature”.  (Luke 8:14)


It is better to go to the “house of morning”, than to go to the house of feasting (pleasure): for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart (mind).  (Ecclesiastes 7:2) 


                                                                                     The Bible say, 

       Wise people Think about Death, Fools Think about being Happy, (Pleasure).

        Pleasure, What is It?  Used or intended for “entertainment” rather than “business”.


Our Daily Nugget

is letting us know that our pursuit of “worldly pleasure” can be “spiritually harmful”; for seeking worldly pleasure can and does “blinds us” to what God would have us to do with what He Has Given To Us.  Our seeking Pleasure for ourselves utilizes our resources, which comes from God, on self and not others.


                                                               While God-given joys are to be savored, 

        “An Excessive or Exclusive” Pursuit of worldly pleasures is “spiritually harmful and can lead to emptiness”.


Solomon says, wise people think about death, and fools think about being happy (pleasure).  If you find that scripture offensive because you know you spend a great amount of time and resources on obtaining pleasure for yourself; “Count It As A Blessing”.  The Holy Spirit might be just “Trying To Speak To You”, to Repent.


An Excessive Desire For Pleasure is “Not From God”.


God would have us to think about death; for to think about death, “Guides Us To Right Living Today”.  To Think about Pleasure, guides us to consider worldly solutions toward fulfilling our desire for pleasure.  It is not about others nor God.


The Pursuit of Pleasure “Choke People” from “Living Their Purpose”.  We cannot Live for Self and Live for Jesus!  To try, makes us hypocrites.  God has all eternity to make our efforts at “Right Living” “Well Worth It”.  Die to self today!


Who or What are you Living For; Jesus or Self?

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”.

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...

Train The Brain.

                                                                     Train The Brain. We Train Our Brain Every Time We “Think”.  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, “Think On These Things”.  (Philippians 4:8) Let this “Mind” be in you, “Which Was Also in Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 2:5) Victory and Defeat, Life and Death, Lies In Our Thinking;  “In How We Have Trained Our Brain”. Our Daily Nugget is written by Paul.  A look at “Saul’s and Paul’s” Life, gives us a perfect picture of the “Fruit of Training the Brain”.  To Train the Brain by thinking on worldly things ...
