Living Right

14 But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t brag and deny the truth. 15 Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.  (James 3:14-17 HCSB)

So how do we want to live our lives? Do we want to live in envy and jealousy, and ambition fueled by our selfishness?
The one thing in this life that is constant is our choice. We use the act of choice in the minute things, even in the decisions of our lifetimes.
Our ability to choose dictates the order and the happenings of our lives.
If we live in envy and selfish ambition, we are told this wisdom doesn't come from above in God's reality, but is earthly. Simply put it comes from our carnal nature, our flesh.
James goes on to say it is unspiritual and demonic. With it comes disorder and every kind of evil.
I understand to give in to this earthly wisdom is easy and can even feel natural, but when we look at the results of these choices we see only wreckage and bad consequences to our actions.
To consider God's Wisdom from above we see James saying:
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.
Isn't that how we want to be treated and if so being treated this way, don't we want to pass it on treating others this same way?
When we operate in the Wisdom of God our entire world changes, we find those around us reacting and returning this Godly wisdom back to us and others also.
It all comes down to our choice in how we want to live our lives.
So do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
With the help of Jesus as life goes on we will better perfect this Wisdom from God above delivered and demonstrated by Jesus our Lord for a life living right with God our Father.

Believe in God

Romans 1:20 20 For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse. (HCSB #Bible)

What if this is true? Better yet, being true what is one left with? Is it in believing or not believing?
To a believer, for one to say they do not believe is to not exist.
If you don't believe in God there is nothing else for you except to be damned in hell, and an eternity in the lake of fire.
To a nonbeliever, the one who believes is considered a fool believing in folklore fairytales, and fables.
I hope you can see the jump the non-believer has to take to not believe when all around him is the unexplainable evidence of a greater force, a power that only a fool can evade, only a fool can deny when it is obvious.
After turning a blind eye to God's Creation the non-believer even takes on the position of God declaring the believer to be a fool.
I believe this is why God has created a place called the lake of fire, to separate the nonbelievers who innately want to be their own God and control their own destiny.
Satan had the same in mind when he declared he wanted to be like God, because their was and is nothing higher imaginable. 
We are all left with this decision of our lifetimes, that determines the destiny of our personal lives for eternity.
Not only that, but who we will have a eternal relationship with, Satan or the Creator of all things God Himself.
God has sent His Son Jesus our Savior who has redeemed us from our non belief and rebellious sins. Allowing us to be the sons and daughters of God, adopted right into the Family of God. It's your choice.
Believe, and Jesus will help you in your unbelief.
