Yes, lie down in green pastures of peace... but how when this electronic age keeps His
children (all those in Christ) from doing that as it has us 'wired' to
the things of this world. The hours wasted in senseless engagement with
the world and its numerous forms of social media. The fact is, what we
really want (He really wants for us) is engagement with Him, the Creator
of Heaven and Earth. How can He shower us with His Love and Peace if
we don't even seek it?
Run
from anything that stimulates youthful lusts [for ladies that means
stop running after: age reducing cosmetics, vitamins and or energy
drinks, youthful hairstyles and clothes, shoes, purses,
jewelry]...Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love and
peace [quiet]. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord
with pure hearts.
As Paul wrote to Timothy, in the last days there will
be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their
money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to
their parents and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They
will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no
self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray
their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride and love pleasure
rather than God. They will act religious but they will reject the power
that could make them godly. 2 Timothy 2:22-3:1-5.
We need to shed all those things which keep us from having a pure heart, one that loves God with all heart, soul, mind and strength! ~ Mark 12:30
