Pleasure.

                                                                             Pleasure.


In whom or what do you seek “Pleasure”?


Laughter, I said, is madness.  And what does pleasure accomplish?  (Ecclesiastes 2:2)

 

To the person who Pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God.  This to is Meaningless, A Chasing After the Wind.  (Ecclesiastes 2:26)


“Please God” and God Will Please You with, 

Wisdom, Knowledge and Happiness.  This is True Pleasure.


Our Daily Nugget

let’s us know that seeking Pleasure in anything other than “Pleasing God” is Meaningless, just like Chasing The Wind.  Picture yourself “Chasing The Wind”.  The Goal of the Kingdom Citizens, first and foremost is to “Please God”.  Things that Please God are justice, righteousness, and the spiritual well-being or faithfulness of His people. 


When We Please God, 

He will make known to us “The Path of Life” and “He Fills us with Joy”..


You make known to me the “Path of Life”; you will “fill me with joy in your presence, with Eternal Pleasures at your right hand”.  (Psalms 16:11)


Pleasure - Delight, joy, or a sense of deep satisfaction.


God wants us to Seek our Pleasure in Him; when we seek pleasure in anyone or anything other than Him, He becomes Jealous.  Our natural, fallen self, will seek pleasure in things of the world and satisfying the desires of the flesh.  


Obedience to religion and tradition does not qualify us for this Pleasure; we must Obey The Bible.  Obedience to the Bible is what Pleases God.   When we Please God, He gives us wisdom, knowledge and happiness.  But to the sinner He gives “The Task of Gathering and Storing up Wealth” “To Hand it Over to the One Who Pleases God”.


Is Your Life Dominated with the “Task” of Getting More and More?

Seek your Pleasure in the Lord; not in the “Task” of Getting More and More.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

                                                                                 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 ...
