As a Christian, why is my luck bad, on projects, jobs and relationships? What did I do in the past to bring this on? What is causing these bad events? Why am I sinking lower in this well with each passing day? I get daily miracles that sustain me, which are beyond coincidence, but by the end of the month I am lower. Regardless of how much I pray, Jobs, projects and relationships fail. So, is it time to consider a few course corrections? God’s merciful and loving admonitions will provide a proactive approach to survival in our own “boot camp.” By collecting the admonitions, we have a partial glimpse into God's unlimited kindness and mercy. However, there is a precondition to receiving immediate forgiveness for deplorable activities. It is more important than money, advanced degrees or significant achievements. It is humility. Humility works with God. If we have a true view of ourselves we will see God more clearly. In addition, this SSG asks the question, are hard knocks always good for us? There is still considerable room for argument over the question: "Should we strive to avoid trials or calmly accept them as a productive, realistic part of our experience?" Do all trials, if they don’t kill us, make us stronger? Not necessarily, some STD's, for instance, leave us with a chronic condition. Isn’t not doing something, preferable to doing something, in disobedience and experiencing the resulting illness and grief? His admonition’s reveal, what He wants to see in us individually and what activities are questionable. He provides these suggestions wrapped in proverbs and parables, revealing clear applications for our benefit and understanding. A few examples of His guidance include: 1. Stop Cursing HIM. In the Old Testament people were stoned for doing this. What is the upside for us in continuing the activity? 2. Refrain from slandering or testifying falsely in court against someone else. Why make unnecessary enemies, particularly if they are powerful and capable of revenge. 3. Refrain from coveting another man's wife or his possessions. God sent great plagues because Pharaoh coveted (not slept with) Abram’s wife. But many believe God cannot work that way today. The SSG's purpose is to decrease the number of bruises we receive due to our behavior. It also helps us eliminate those activities, which are disturbing to God. So what does God desire from us? He wants us to love him. He wants to become our loving merciful Father. God has no higher desire and no greater happiness, other than when He forgives a soul. He has endless mercy and will never reject a soul who humbly comes and asks for forgiveness regardless of his or her history. In summary, as a pebble when dropped into a bucket of water pushes some of the water out of the bucket, Christ can progressively replace our old habits and lifestyle with His character, filling our lives with more of His loving kindness and less of our personal guilt. The Holy Spirit will renew us continually. Go to Him and ask for help. This will be a new beginning!
