Today, I had a project to complete in putting up a new shelf in our closet, in which I used an oak wood board that measured 127 and 7/8" in length. Getting it iN the closet was one thing...but NAILING IT was another...

Let me explain....oak wood is one of the hardest woods there is, but I chose it because I didn't want the issue I had with the original particle board to happen again..meaning the weight of the clothes on there to pull it away from the board, and the board to pull away from the wall.

Which leads me to my two pictures....on the left, those are the nails I TRIED to nail into the oak board to anchor it to the wall.Those nails were my attempts to nail the board to the wall, but because of the HARDNESS of the WOOD, it was difficult to get those finishing nails into the wood. It led to MUCH frustration and anger on my part...along with me at times repeatedly hitting my fingers with the hammer as though I don't know HOW to hammer nails.

Here comes the lesson...the Lord reminded me that those nails on the left were the times/attempts that the Lord had TRIED to nail His will into me, but like the oak board, I was hardheaded, hard hearted, and stubborn that I was unwlling to receive His counsel/instruction/correction which led to the bent nails. And as such, it led to MUCH frustration and anger on GOD's part because of my unwillingness to acquiesce to HIM and HIS will. It took all of those bent nails just to lead to the ONE time that I lined up with God's will/correction/counsel/instruction to be like the picture that's on the right.

That's how we are as a people....God has called us hard-hearted, stiff-necked and obstinate (Exodus 32:9). He has tried to time and time again to instill within us HIS will and HIS way....to follow HIS counsel and HIS instruction, and we just REFUSE to yield to Him, and He ends up with all of these bent nails. But the truth of the matter is that we really DON'T KNOW just how messed up we are....we don't realize just how broken and hurt we are and we try to hide and mask it with all of these other things; and because we've done it for so long, we really don't know HOW to change/transform....but HOW can we HIDE from HIM with which we have to do?! (Hebrews 4:13)

🎶 So don't give up on me yet...don't give up on me.....don't give up on ME...DON'T GIVE UP!! 🎶

"So Samuel spoke all the words of the Lord to the people who had asked of him a king. And he said, 'This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots.

"And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will also take your daughters for perfumers and cooks and bakers. And he will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.

"He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys, and use them for his work. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants.

"Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.'

"Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel..." - 1 Samuel 8:10-19 (NASB)

"And the Lord said to Samuel, 'Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day - in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods - so they are doing to you also.

"Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them.' " - 1 Samuel 8:7-9 (NASB)

Six times in seven verses Samuel says the king will take from the people.

Wars typically start due to a combination of political, economic and social factors, often intertwined. Conflicts over land, borders, or access to resources are a frequent cause of war. They also go to war to increase their influence, dominance or control over other nations or regions. Nations may go to war to secure access to vital resources like oil, minerals, or fertile land. Trade imbalances, economic competition, and the desire for economic dominance can lead to conflict as well.

And here we think that GOD is pleased with us that that He's okay with all of the things that are happening....we think that He's backing/endorsing all of the things that are going on in the world today, with a HEARTY approval....when in all actuality, He's tired...He's tired of us, and He's tired of our shenanigans.

But we haven't seen ANY-thing yet...

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:28

I have a question...WHY are there churches that promote the "Black" agenda or the "White" agenda, or whatever agenda when this verse speaks to the specificity of WHO we ARE when we come to Him?!

Real quick....Paul isn't speaking to the differing distinctions that make us who we are nor where we are on the social ladder. What He IS saying that DESPITE our human differences we are all UNIFIED because we are ONE in CHRIST. No one is superior to anyone else before God. There isn't any ONE "agenda" that's above GOD'S.

We ALL share EQUALLY in our relationship with the Father through Jesus.

So if you aren't pushing/promoting/elevating JESUS' agenda over your social one, or as it pertains to your "Blackness" or "Whiteness," then you're on the wrong "agenda."
