Flirting w the world VS standing firm on God's word

Hello!!

It has been a great 2 weeks! Knowing people at a deeper level, facing fears and truths.

Have been reflecting abt how im living my life. How on one hand, I think the worldly things are fun and cool; but yet, I also know that there are definitely somethings I will not do bcoz God said so.

It took me really sometime to recognise how im "flirting" w the world. Sometimes in, sometimes out, sometimes everywhere. And im always thankful how God has placed "safe friends" ard me. They r not the wild kind, but wild enough like any other non christians.

So, what got me thinking the other way round was,

Psalm 103:2 "Praise the Lord , my soul, and forget not all his benefits."

Indeed! What was I thinking? Following God's word or surrounding myself w close christian friends is definitely something that has more benefits than disbenefits. Hahaha.

So, setting myself to seek the higher and deeper things of God. And I'm looking forward to where God will bring me. :)

The rest of the Psalms 103 reads...

Psalm 103:2-5 NIV
Praise the Lord , my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Some food for thought!! :)

Psalms 4

Psalms 4:4 NKJV

Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah

Wow.. mostly I would know "be angry and not sin" but this verse gave me more! Meditate within your heart, which means dont lash out yet... and tells me that I got to be on my bed! Haha maybe somewhere comfortable, so I can think properly... and not only that... the bible tells me to be still....

Oh gosh.. how hard would that be?!?!

Im those kind that will leash out or do something when im angry. So.. hmmm

In this psalms, it talks about trusting God..

In both verses....
Psalms 4:5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the Lord .

Psalms 4:8
I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord , make me dwell in safety.

So.. I guess when we r angry, it is our pride that is hurt.. but when we trust in the Lord, we submit out pride and rights to Jesus and trust him in that He will make things right.

Haha dont know how tt is going to pen out. But I will want to learn and I know God will teach me...

Oh gosh.. Lord, grant me wisdom and discernment in my anger!!
