Are You Engaged Or Entangled?

Are You Engaged Or Entangled?

---

"No one engaged in warfare ENTANGLES HIMSELF with the affairs of this life, that he may please Him who enlisted him as a soldier." (2 Timothy 2:4)

You and I have a challenge before us: "How to be ENGAGED in fulfilling our earthly responsibilities and yet remain UN-ENTANGLED in the affairs of life in order to fight Christ's battles."

What is the difference between being ENGAGED and ENTANGLED?:

• The trolley cars in San Francisco are ENGAGED in the cable beneath the surface of the street.
• The bird is ENTANGLED when it cannot get its foot out of the trap.

How do we know when we are ENTANGLED?

• When we are irritated or consumed over our situation.
• When we fail to see God in control of our circumstances.

Strategically, we become ENTANGLED when we make the pursuit of the secular our primary focus, and then try to fit the spiritual around it. Remember the aspiring disciples of Christ in Luke 9:57-61 who expressed interest in following Him? "But first" they had to attend to their private affairs and interests.

When the "but firsts" dominate our lives, we are entangled. Jesus allows us no such privilege:

"No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

Let me ask you:

• When you open your Bible to spend time with God, is your mind easily distracted?
• Would you be free (within a reasonable period of time) to uproot and move to another part of the world to minister, if God were to call you?
• When spending time with your spouse or children, are you there 100% or are you just putting in an appearance?

Whether we are ENGAGED or ENTANGLED is a question of focus, values and priorities. It is a question of whether we WANT to invest in the eternal, or simply expend our lives on the temporal.

—Facts of the Matter

quoted fr Ps 142, 144 - 147

what i read for my Quiet Time for the past one week and would like to share with all of you....

Start praising Him now - by faith - and you will be 'turned up' when the answer comes.

In yourself, you are nothing, but God loves you and equip you for what lies ahead. God does not always explain how He prepares you, so accept His disciplines by faith. David fought a lion and a bear before God let him fight a giant.

Ps 145 David extols the Lord for His greatness (v3), grace (v8,17), goodness (v9), glory (v11-12), and generosity (v15-16). If you are having a hard time praising the Lord today, that should help get you started!

Ps146

Praise is an evidence of Life (v1-2)

Praise is an encouragement to faith (v3-4)

Praise is an encouragement to hope (v5-7)

Praise is an encouragement to love (v8-10)

Praise is a good medicine!

for singles n for those who married care enough to understand the singles....

Here is something that someone shared with me on singleness. I really liked it and think you will too! 

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone; to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God to the Christian says, "No, not until you're satisfied and fulfilled and content with living, loved by me alone and giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone.” 

"I love you, my child, and until you discover that only in me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me-exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or belongings.” 

"I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow me to bring it to you. You just keep watching me, expecting the greatest things. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must wait.” 

"Don't be anxious and don't worry. Don't look around at the things you think you want. Just keep looking off and away up to me, or you'll miss what I have to show you." 

“And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready, I am working this minute to have both of you ready at the same time, and until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I've prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is perfect love.” 

"And Dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with myself. Know I love you. I am God Almighty, believe and be satisfied." 

Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 

And Psalms 37:4-5 Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
