Get Rid Of It!



Get Rid Of It!(Philippians 3:13-14 KJV) 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.The most difficult thing in the world is to thank God for the trickling torrent trials of life, but that is what we must do. We all must agree literally—that we do not know what the future holds but our great, grand and gracious God knows what our future holds, and He knows the way through the wilderness to the promise land. And while we are yet trusting Him although sometimes we can't trace Him—we all need to believe and remember that "Joy cometh in the morning." You may be in a position right now and think that you cannot give God thanks for that trial but you can get rid of that worldly carnality and let God have His way in your heart—and then He will give you the grace to thank Him for the trial in your life. He wants you to be grateful for all that He is doing in your life and forget about what's happened in the past and, "Get Rid Of It!". We sometimes hear some folks say, "When you get to the end of your rope then tie a knot in it and hang on in there." But this is not what one should do for one will never move on if they hang on to the rope. What one must do is turn loose the rope and let God have his way in your life. When we make a forty five degree turn to the Lord and allow Him to minister to us, to show us His grace and to comfort us in the time of trials, then we can see that He is working all things out for our greater good.Moreover, I want to encourage you to not let what people say to you offend you—because sometimes other people's opinions are sometimes there to strengthen you—my perspective is that God put them in your life for a reason. And although they think they are alienating and assassinating you—little do they know that God is in the background in reality assisting you. So those fears that you have about other folk, “Get Rid of It!" Look at your neighbor and say, "I Ain't Afraid Of You!" I'm God's Child! And stop believing the old myth that sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me—that's a lie straight from the devil's BBQ pit.(Proverbs 18:21 KJV)Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.Here is a story about a relationship:A young couple got married and went on their honeymoon. When they got back, the bride immediately called her mother. "Well," said her mother, "so how was the honeymoon?""Mama," she replied, "the honeymoon itself was wonderful—so peaceful, enjoyable and romantic! And then suddenly she burst out crying. And this is what she said, "Mama, as soon as we returned, Phillip started using the most horrible language—things like I'd never heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words cut me to my bones! You've got to come get me and take me home... Please Mama Please!" "Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "calm down! Tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words is Phillip using?""Please don't make me tell you, Mama," wept the daughter, "I'm so embarrassed—they're just too awful! Come Get Me, Please!!" "Darling baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. I'm your mother—tell me these horrible 4-letter words!"Still sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, Mama—Phillip is using 4 letter words like: you need to WASH, do you know how to IRON, he told me that it was time to DUST, and what did I COOK.? Mama this marriage is horrible and "I need to Get Rid of It!"Here's a word of wisdom: Ladies and gentlemen some things in life is worth keeping—whereas there are some things in life you need to Get Rid of It! ................
