Readings:
Psalm5
Proverbs 1:13-15
NT: Matthew5:21-48
OT: Genesis 12-14

My Golden Verse: Psalm5:8, Proverbs 1:15, Matthew5:43-48, Genesis 12:1-2

Accepting
Psalm5:8 
(8) Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way level (straight and right) before my face.

Proverbs 1:15
(15) My son, do not walk in the way with them; restrain your foot from their path;
Matthew 5:20
(43) You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy;

(44) But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

(45) To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike].

(46) For if you love those who love you, what reward can you have? Do not even the tax collectors do that?

(47) And if you greet only your brethren, what more than others are you doing? Do not even the Gentiles (the heathen) do that? 

(48) You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect. 

Genesis 12:1-2
(1) NOW [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father's house, to the land that I will show you.

(2) And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

Contemplating
Woohoo More Golden Verses... Don't think it is great though, I was facing a wall earlier today, I was lazy to perform my Spartan Training. There was a wall with a note, you have done it yesterday, chill and relax. Then I prayed to God; "God, I need Your help to destroy these walls of laziness and let me perform my DJ tonight. and I did" Hallelujah praise the Lord. 

Let's star the journal: 
Psalm 5:8
Overhere, David  sang to the Lord, asking Him to lead his actions on performing God's will. This shows how we should always pray to God to ask Him to guide and lead our Daily Action and Life. Total Reliance and Total Dependability on God is a MUST; BUT it doesn't mean that we can sit relax and chill. That is not knowing your place! We shall put effort on all the "Possible" stuffs and give the "Impossible" to God through our prayers. 

Proverbs 1:15
Here we go back to the previous Journals about Sinners! God is warning and telling me (us) AGAIN not to follow the Sinners! Why? Simple, that is the wrong way. Think of a good GPS (Global Positioning System Device), it will let you know when you took the wrong turn. God is now Telling us that Don't take the Wrong WAY! 
Matthew 5:43-48
Love everyone and not only those who you are close with. Open your heart for everyone, Open your hand for everyone in need, Share with them the greatness of God, Say hello to them anywhere and anytime. We should not discriminate others! Though they may have different skin colors, complexion, beliefs, understanding, mind, yada yada yada; We are all products of the same Heavenly Father! He created us remember that! We are all one. 
Genesis 12:1-2
Looking through today's Golden Verses, God is telling me this: "Hey SS675, when you rely on me like David, Not putting your step on the wrong path, and able to open your Heart and hand to others, I want you to GO OUT of your COMFORT ZONE! You shall not fear as I promise you with Abundance of Blessings like I did to Abram. I also want you to be a blessing to others." 
 
God nothing much I can say except that You are so great and powerful that for I believe everything will happen according to Your will. I shall prepare from now on and be ready for all Your plans on me. I don't belong to me anymore, But I belong to You! Should you want me to step out from my comfort zone and reach out to others, I shall be ready for it. God Strengthened me PLEASE!  

Taking Actions
God teach me how to be like David, where everything he did was for and about You. Total reliance on You Lord, protect me from the wrong path, I give my whole body to operate with Your will. Teach me Lord how to open my heart like You so I can accept all for who they are. Though I'm young new and am still learning about You, I'm ready to perform for You because I believe that with Your Guidance, I can step out from my comfort zone. Amen.


End of my W1D5.

God Bless,

SS675,
I'm a Growing Weed!
