" Trying To Have Your Own Way. "

1 Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves.

2 You lust for what you don't have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn't yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it.3 And why not? Because you know you'd be asking for what you have no right to. You're spoiled children, each wanting your own way.

4 You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way.5 And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover."6 And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. It's common knowledge that "God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble."
James 4:1-6 The Message Translation


I know we sometimes like to get our way. However, sometimes its not in our
best interests to do so. Especially if we are not praying in accordance to
His will and favor, and allowing for want, greed and selfishness to have its
way in our lives. That heart and attitude does not show forth the Lord's
ownership of our life but the lack thereof.

We need to understand personally and as a society. That to walk with God
and to follow after His will, is more important than we think. For when
we walk out of sync with the Master. Our walk and talk becomes something
totally different than what the Lord desires to relate to our fellow man.
My friends we must guard against wanton selflishness or greed taking control
of our thoughts and actions. For it is in that attitude of heart that wars,
strife, envy and a variety of spiritual and physical maladies infect our
lives. Making for painfully difficult circumstances for us now, as well
as for our future in the days to come.

Put the guardsman, the Holy Spirit at attendance at your heart's door. Give
God the authority to prevent those attitudes and spirit of the evil one to
take residency in your heart and life. Let's make Jesus Lord of our life, and take
advantage of the wisdom of the Holy Spirit in our desires, wants and
circumstances of life. Let's give God the Glory and learn to express His
will in our expression of Life in His precious Name.
