If you understand God's ways, prove that you live an honorable life. If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13 NLT All the glory, praises and honor be to the Heavenly Father in Jesus' precious name ! The subject verse from the Book of James do call us to reflect upon the lives we are living. Have we really understood God's ways ? Are we wise enough and live an honorable life ? If we really come to the terms, we shall ultimately seek to live an honorable life for the glory of the Living God. As it is clear from the subject verse, we need to do good works with the humility that comes from the wisdom of God. Our talk, work and character Certainly the honorable life that is mentioned in the verse shall be visible to all. But it is not of pride, instead it is of humility. Moreover, their talk shall be graceful to all, healing to the afflicted, words of wisdom for troubled and above all they glorify the Living God. Truly, the way a person talks reflects what is inside his heart. For the Bible says that we speak-out what we have inside of our hearts. And the following verse confirms the same. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.Matthew 12:34 NKJV The wisdom that we receive from above shall be seen not only in our talks, but also in our works. Our talks match our actions in every way. Read the full article

Growing old paves ways to dreams and opportunities that we never thought we could achieve. As the list of possibilities goes on, we often find ourselves in sheer confusion about what our heart truly desires. As a result, we get lost along the way and remain unsure of which the right path is. The more lost we are, the more we realize how we just want to live a fulfilling life. To do so, there is one certain way: delighting in God’s ways. It’s normal for us to set goals and dreams for our own benefit. However, we also have to understand the depths of these goals. Anyone can just dream about becoming a doctor because it pays great, or a flight stewardess because all you have to do is look pretty. As we dream of such professions, we often fail to see the underlying significance of these jobs. More often than not, a dream dreamt with a blind and shallow desire pushes us to the point of profound realization: Is there anything more to this profession than money? By taking some time to pray and ask for God’s guidance, we will eventually know which the right path is for us. Plus, He will reveal to us the depths of our goals. Having stated that, the feeling of emptiness from the profession of our choice will eventually fade. He is the bringer of enlightenment. He shows us the way to a fulfilling life and, sometimes, it may take quitting the job we currently have. Although we cannot conceive God’s ways, our guts would tell us to follow them. A heart filled with faith would recognize in an instant the manifestation of His mysterious ways. God builds the right path for us and it is in His ways where we get to experience a life of fulfillment. When you feel lost and unhappy with your decision, ask the Lord’s guidance—it’s just a heartfelt prayer away.   Have you read my article about The Culture of Malice and Deceit? Read the full article
