Test by, and for the Word


Sometimes immediately after preaching to someone,  after giving  lectures on values and morals, on spiritual things, giving encouragement etc. then and there the trials to test the word in you comes. The test for how much you believe in what you just admonished.  Or how conforming the words are to God's standard.  The only thing needed at that point is obedience.  If you can't obey it is whether you are controlled by the flesh and you just preached your wish(mix of your knowledge,  God's standard and societal expectations) or your flesh cannot succumb to the standards of God. You need God to move from wishing to doing. You can't do it alone. He has worked in you the desire to do His will so it is left to Him to workout the doing. Just let him take the wheel while you take the back sit. It is God that works in you both the desire to do His will as well as actually doing it (Phillippians 2:13)

They would be incomplete if we shrink in comparison to their achievements.  History does not limit us in any form and does not want us to shrink at all from such exploit. All history is about is for us to leverage on those feats and stand on the shoulders of those heroes to see further. History be...
