The Importance of Diligence and Gratitude
The Importance of Diligence and Gratitude
Positive Christianity Series Episode #74
"The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you."- Psalms 9: 9-10
I can say from my experience that I was able to realize when I began to be persecuted with gangstalking, that I was able to realize about the importance of being productive and industrious so that I am able to worship GOD Almighty and place the importance on the Infinite and Eternal GOD of gods instead of the attempts to discourage with temporary lies and envy. I can say that I am able to persevere with gratitude because I am able to develop virtues and talents that GOD Almighty has allowed me to improve by keeping fidelity to GOD Almighty. GOD Almighty is able to help us persevere with gratitude and gladness of heart so that we do not believe the temporary lies of evil. I began to understand the importance of being industrious when I decided to worship GOD Almighty and chose to give priority to the worship of GOD Almighty instead of giving the attention to the attempts to discourage by envy.
"I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds."- Psalm 9: 1
This speaks about being able to understand that we can persevere when we choose to worship GOD Almighty above everything. This speaks about GOD Almighty allowing us to improve and grow amidst the times, circumstances, and persecution because we know that GOD Almighty is greater than everything. I am able to understand the importance of developing virtues that are able to be used to worship GOD Almighty. When we worship GOD Almighty with our virtues, we are able to have gratitude that prevents ingratitude and envy from developing. If there is gratitude, this is going to prevent ungratefulness from leading to resenment and envy. If we are active each day worshiping GOD Almighty, we are not going to have time to pay attention to the false "comparisons", temporary lies, and attempts to discourage by evil to lead to negative emotions and idol worship.
Developing Virtues and Removing Vices
"Blessed is the one who fears the LORD always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity."- Proverbs 28: 14
I am able to say that the virtues can keep increasing in the worship of GOD Almighty that causes us to be unique and different. This speaks about the importance of being different. We know that evil wants individuals to falsely "compare" themselves to other people so that there is resentment and bitterness seen in the stories of Cain, Korah's rebellion, and Saul. Instead we are able to realize that we do not have to compare ourselves to anyone because that would be a waste of time because we know that we are unique and different. This speaks about the manner that while we are servants of GOD Almighty, we are unique and different also. We are able to have gratitude for being distinct and having our own uniqueness that prevents us from believing the temporary lies of evil that want us to compare ourselves based on temporary pleasures, quantifiable resources, or amounts of "relationships".
"The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is secure."- Proverbs 29: 25
If we decide to instead place our attention on the worship of the Infinite and Eternal GOD Almighty, we are able to develop true joy that prevents ungratefulness and ingratitude from developing. We are able to understand that some of the things that the world says are needed, are not actually needed because the intention is to lead to idol worship, conflict, and envy. Instead we have gratitude knowing that we have specific things that can not be measured, quantified, or enumerated describing the increase of virtues because we choose to worship GOD Almighty above everything. We also have no vices that try to lead to hate, envy, and the practice of grave sin. GOD Almighty is able to help us know with the help of the Spirit of Truth the things that are helping us from the things that want to lead to the practice of sin, idol worship, lust, slothfulness, intemperance, arrogance, and other vices.
Practicing Gratitude Each Day
The Spirit of Truth is able to help us know the importance of virtues so that we do not have vices. This speaks about being active in our Christianity so thay we do not allow sin to attempt to lead to vices. Instead, the virtues are going to prevent the development of vices because we are able to realize the favor, blessings, and goodness that we have in the worship of GOD Almighty that can not compare because we know that the favor of GOD Almighty is better. Similar to how we know that we are able to have a light that guides us with obedience to the commandments, we are able to know that the virtues help us.
