PLOTS AND THOUGHTS

I have come to appreciate how often people with agendas and ulterior motives are definitely not acting based upon faith. Now when you are dealing with people who don't claim to have faith to start with that is understandable.

But it gets real annoying and frustrating when such people sit back and claim to be believers. They love to banter about their spirituality, but in reality it is all an act.

For instead of trusting to God, they trust to their own strengths and talents. The problem is the will never admit it.

What is amazing is how such people truly lack the ability not only to trust to God, but accept his power to do more than blessed. That is the part that amazes me the most.

Honestly, I'm left at times just scratching my head. I just can't fathom how they think they can lie and deceive and that nothing bad will ever happen to them.

But when you see how they act and all the times they do other than trust God it does leave one sad. Mainly, for them more than anyone else.

Of course people can so often forget there is a big difference between when you do things that are just sinful from the times you get in the way of God's purposes. Such situations can truly bring consequences.

But if you have no faith to start with and therefore no real fear of the Lord you will not respect this reality. Instead you will plot along and in no way understand the differences when some actions bring more problems in your way than others.

Nothing is more tragic than those who keep refusing to pay attention to the danger signals. No matter how many times that God hints to them that a behavior is wrong, they keep plotting away in that direction anyway.

And when disaster strikes, it is never their fault. Heck, they will probably even ask for prayer about the valley they are in that they claim is not their fault.

Naturally, in their version, they are always a good person. Never in any way responsible for doing a single thing wrong.

It is a lie one tells themselves. A convenient way of avoiding guilt. At least in terms of what they say to others

Just doesn't happen to be reality. Which works for some. But you can't truly be touched by the Holy Spirit without God at times making sure you get those little whispers regarding the error of such deceptions.

But that never actually will make a difference with those who feel they are other than human and plotters of evil.
