Hodgin" <rick.c.hodgin@gmail.com>: Sep 27 05:39AM -0700 There is additional information about this on this thread: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.arch/FHcTC4_xQMs/uwwqpFrHBAAJ It describes how we are all a part of a larger-than-any-of-us plan put in motion by God, whereby He created us on purpose, put us where we are on purpose, gave us the ability and opportunity to learn and know and be creative and do (on purpose), so that we could be a part of that which He is doing for mankind. Our goals in using the skills and abilities we've been given, and in our labor time and efforts, are to look up to Him and see how He wants us to be a part of this assembly of man He's created. Each of us is a part of that system, and when we acknowledge that actively, and look up to God actively, and seek how we can use our skills and talents to improve the people around us and be a part of that world He intends for us here on Earth, then we are moving as we should be, and then we are part of His plan, and then our labor will bear forth unto real fruit, even fruit which lasts into the hereafter because those things we do for Christ will be tried in the fire along with all our other works, and those things we do for Him will not be burned up by the fire, but will endure, and we will receive a reward. Refocus your life and your life's purpose on serving God with your skills. Don't follow after the ways of the world, but rely upon God to provide for you, and use everything you possess to try to improve the lives of those around you. And if you ever have any doubts or concerns on how to do that, ask God the Father ... literally ask Him in prayer. Say in your prayer, "Jesus, I've come to you asking forgiveness for my sin so I could be saved, and now I'm here wondering what to do next. You've told me that I can come boldly before the Throne of Grace, and that I can speak directly to God the Father. So, I come forward and I ask: Father, please show me in my life what to do, and how to do it." God has promised to guide us: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+1%3A5&version=KJV James 1:5 - "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." The word upbraideth there means it won't be tangled or confusing, but will be easy to receive, known, and understand, because God gives to us at the point of our abilities, just as you would give to your 14-year old at a 14-year old level, and your 8-year old at an 8-year old level. God does the same for us. It is a great comfort to know you are part of God's Kingdom. It gives you real inner peace, and as He begins to work in your life you look around and go, "Wow! Will you look at that." It's not you doing it, but it's God living inside you guiding you to do it. It's something you cannot help but feel awe over. Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin |

It's interesting how the spirit of God works in a person. When I posted this, there was a feeling inside of me that I did not have the correct definition for upbraideth. I have heard teachings on this matter before and that was the explanation given me, but the spirit of God guides us to all truth. He gave me a feeling within my core that it wasn't right. I went and looked it up: http://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/upbraid.html 2. To reproach; to chide. God who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not. James 1. It means God won't criticize you for not knowing something, or having not yet figured it out on your own. He's a good Father, and He teaches His children properly, lovingly, in all areas. > you look around and go, "Wow! Will you look at that."
