Life offers, and commands jobs we’d rather ignore.

Spiritually, it is the same.   It commands attention.     It can be ignored, and procrastinated upon; but only for so long.

When failing to take inventory of ourselves, we fail to recognize our faults, our sins.  Failure brings   about defensiveness and resentment,  finding  ‘fault’ with others rather than ourselves.

Christ lived to impress this upon us, each of us.    He wants us to be ‘happy’.   When we refuse to ‘take inventory spiritually’ we refuse to be happy.  Our sinfulness overtakes us.

Evils way is to to impress upon us that we are already perfect, and therefore it is our neighbor that is imperfect.

Why are things in such turmoil when I am the ‘same person every day’?

This is not the case!   It is so subtle and so deadly that we go about our business confident in our ways, and ability.

Yet must realize we are imperfect first!

Sins are as real spiritually, as chaos worldly.   It can not be a life undisciplined or the world will fall to Satan, and so it is with the soul.

The life we lead is of God.   He commands a set of rules that in place bring forth happiness and contentment.    However many do not believe.     But, it does  matter!

What is the matter?    God has been displaced!

A world that chooses self-will and ignorance is a world of hatefulness and chaos,    Each person, takes the position that his neighbor is at fault, when indeed the answer lays within…within each of ourselves, our spirits.

When inventory is in place daily,   God is pleased and peace settles in.

Realize God’s rules are what works.    Take inventory daily of your spiritual life   keeping “HIS COMMANDMENTS” rather than ignoring them.

Book of Ezekiel:    Chapter 37 verses 1-10 : Vision of the dry bones   (Old Testament)

1 ” The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he led me out in the spirit of the LORD and set me in the center of the plain, which was now filled with bones.   2 He made me walk among them in every direction so that I saw how many they were on the surface of the plain.   How dry they were!   30 He asked me: Son of Man, can these bones come to life?   “LORD GOD,” I answered, “you alone know that.”   4  Then he said to me:   Prophesy over these bones, and say to them: Dry  bones, hear the word of the LORD!   5 Thus says the LORD GOD to these bones: See!   I will bring spirit into you, that you may come to life.   6   I will put sinews  upon you, make flesh grow over you, cover you with skin, and put spirit in you so that you may come to life and know that I am the LORD.   7 I prophesied as I had been told, and even as I was prophesying I heard a noise; it was a rattling as the bones came together, bone joining bone.   8 I saw the sinews and the flesh come upon them, and the skin cover over them, but there was no spirit in them.   9  Then he said to me; Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit: Thus says the LORD GOD: From the four winds come, O spirit, and breathe into these slain that they may come to life.   10 I prophesied as he told me, and the spirit came into them; they came alive and stood upright, a vast army.”

Book of Romans: Chapter 10 verses 4-17  (New Testament)

4 “Christ is the end of the law.      Through him justice comes, to everyone who believes.   5  Moses writes of the justice that comes from the law, “The one who observes the law shall live by it.”   6  But of the justice that comes from faith he says, ” Do not say in your heart, ” Who shall go up into heaven?” ( that is, to bring Christ down), 7 or ‘Who shall go down into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.”   8 What is it he does say? ” The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” ( that is, the word of faith which we preach).   9 For if you confess with your lips that Jesus is LORD, and believe in your heart that GOD raised him from the dead, your will saved.   10 Faith in the heart leads to justification, confession on the lips to salvation.   11 Scripture says , ” No one who believes in him will be put to shame.”   12 Here there is no difference between Jew and Greek ;  all have the same LORD, rich in mercy toward all who call upon him.  13 ” Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.”  14 But, how shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?   And how can they believe unless they have heard of him?   And how can they hear unless there is someone  to preach?  15 And how can men preach unless they are sent?   Scripture says, ” How beautiful are the feet of those who announce good news!”   16 But not all have believed  the gospel.   Isaiah asks, ” Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?”    17 Faith, then, comes through hearing, and what is heard is the word of Christ.”
