IT'S NOT EASY NOT TO JOIN THE WORLD

IT'S NOT EASY NOT TO JOIN THE WORLD. 

(Scriptural Solution Insight.)

Meditation:  Romans 12:2

With sincerity of heart, is not easy. Even being a light to a World that is full of darkness, As a Christian with Heaven's consciousness,  most times I feel like what I'm looking for in the world should just come with ease and focus on fellowship daily with God. But according to Genesis after God pronounced judgment on man,  We can't enjoy freely what is in the world,  we have to work to produce Genesis 3:19 You will have to work hard and sweat to make the soil produce anything, until you go back to the soil from which you were formed. You were made from soil, and you will become soil again.” 

From the pronouncement of God in Genesis 3 14 - 20, Man has to work hard to produce,  continue Working on the Earth, and keep producing,  until we go back to the soil.  We have work to do only on the earth,  and that's what makes us have a strong relationship with the world,  Ecclesiastes 9:10 Work hard at whatever you do, because there will be no action, no thought, no knowledge, no wisdom in the world of the dead—and that is where you are going. Our Work here on earth makes us relate with the World. 

But as Children of God, we must understand that even if it's easy to join the world,  we must remember that we're not of this world, The more we work hard to produce there must be an awareness in us that we don't belong to the World one day we go back to where we all belong, (Heaven or Hell). 1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father. As I am writing I keep praying for the Grace needed to be separated from the world,  the journey is not easy at all. But to be realistic with you it's the Love we have for the things the world produces that makes it not easy, Our Love for the things of the World, keeps Drawing us to the world, and if we're not careful we can be destroyed by what the world produces. 

It's important to remember that the world may offer temporary pleasures and instant gratification, but true fulfillment and lasting joy are found in our relationship with God. Why it's not easy for Us not to join the world, We have conformed to the pattern of this world,  we identify ourselves as if we remain in this world,   We live as if we belong to this world,  We're after the greatness of this world,  after the riches of the world.  That is why my definition of greatness is Just to put the earth in order with the capacity God gives me and fulfill his plan for my life. 

Let me show you some Scripture to live not as the standard of the world. 

Romans 12:2 Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect. (GNB)

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

There is a warning from St. Paul to us not to conform to this world,  Paul gives us how to live in the World and not live according to the world.  1) Transforming the Mind, 2) Knowing the will of God, and 3) Doing what is Good, pleasing, and perfect to God, not the World (I will explain this on Friday as inspired by the Holy Spirit ). 

St. John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. You are not of this world,   and when you have this awareness you will keep separating yourself from the world,  to Set your mind on things that are above,  By prayer,  Fasting,  Studying the Word of God,  Fellowship, etc.  Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Mind it's very important when talking about our relationship with the world as Christians. I once told one of my brothers, if not of the Pronunciation on the earth,  to work hard before producing, so I could remain 24/7 in front of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament (Blood and body of Christ ). It is a must for us to work daily in the world to produce. Produce makes us have relationships with the World.  

In conclusion, the world is designed by God, who put us in it but doesn't want us to live by his standards,  he wants us to live by the standard of his living in heaven on earth, and that's why He makes us the Light to the World,  so as light you can't be thinking to be easy to live in this dark world,  it can't. It's warfare here below on earth.  Philippians 3:20 We, however, are citizens of heaven, and we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven.

God bless you. 

Let's pray:  Holy Spirit guide my step, Direct my way, and make me live to your standard in heaven in Jesus' name. amen
