The Opposite… (My New Year’s Resolution, if you want to call it that)

The Opposite… (My New Year’s Resolution, if you want to call it that)

            This is something I have decided and taking a stand, and if someone wants a label on it, then I guess you could call it “my new year’s resolution.”  Jesus died for us to have an abundant life and to not struggle and have stress and to be simple and peaceful and happy.  So I look at that, and then I look at the “world’s way.”  The world is all about pleasing itself, more, more, and more, never satisfied, all about status, who looks the best, etc.

            So the simplest thing I came up with is to do the opposite of what the world is doing. J  Here is a list:

            Worlds Way                            /           Opposite

1)      Never Satisfied with job                      Thankful to have A job.

2)      Never Satisfied with looks                  Happy to be made, and to see, hear, walk, think,             

3)      Never satisfied with car                      Happy to have a vehicle that runs

4)      Needs more clothes                            As long as can cover body parts, good for meJ

5)      Needs more money                            Has enough if can provide for necessities

6)      Needs bigger better house                 As long as has a roof over head, that’s all I need

7)      Complains about food                         As long as has something to eat

8)      Needs the newest technology If have a computer and phone that is great

9)      (For women) trying to be                    Cover up!!!! Don’t show everyone your display

“The sexiest” “hottest”

“Show off what they have”

10)  Spend, Spend, Spend, get into debt    Pay off debt, start saving and planning

11)  Needs to figure out everything           Trust God for everything, don’t figure it out

12)  Needs to “fit in”                                  Know that I am complete in God’s eyes and not to

Be conformed to this world.

13)  Compares themselves to others         Know that I am fearfully, wonderfully made and

Need to be different.

This list shows how it is today with everyone and how far we are from God’s way and will, and people wonder why they are confused??  If you are living the world’s way then you are going to have problems.  Just look at black Friday and how people acted.  People acted like animals,

Some old man died in the middle of a store and people were walking over his body to get merchandise.  Some lady pepper sprayed kids and people to get some electronic items.  People camped out all night in front of stores in the cold for items.  This is crazy!!!! Do you think God is pleased at this????  Why aren’t people speaking up about this???  We are most definitely in the end times and it is ugly out here.  So take a look around and decide if you “fit in” or “set apart”
