Comments by Joan Boney:
We print many scriptures daily. Perhaps we read those scriptures. But do we really think on the concepts given in each scripture that we many really benefit by doing the scripture?
Example: Does it annoy you or even make you angry when people get by with wrong doing without judgment?
If we get the following scripture deeply inside us so that we can actually do this scripture, we will not live in anger over this matter, burning inside.
Eccl. 5:8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for HE (God) that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
( marvel not: to feel astonishment or perplexity at or about)
Men on this earth often judge wrongly. But there is ONE who is a higher judge than these earthly judges and HE (God) judges the matter. Because we know this, we do not fret ourselves.
When we think on this scripture and get this concept deeply into our heart, we do not fret as others over such injustice for we know that everything will be judged by God and set right by God.
"and there be higher than they." Eccl. 5:8
The judgment seat of Christ:
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
If we would take each scripture presented on our blog each day and draw all the blood from that Word daily and apply it to that scripture as I have done on Eccl. 5:8, we will grow greatly in things of God and live in great peace through the scriptures presented .

Another example: 2 Cor. 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal (temporary: set in a period of time only to pass eventually) ; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Therefore, knowing this concept, we learn to focus on the unseen, the eternal, which will be forever, setting aside the temporary and replacing temporary with eternal.
The flesh profits nothing, to hurry about and fret in our minds over the matter. But considering that which is eternal, that Word of God given to us by God, is what we learn to do.
So if we take today's writing and take each scripture and make that concept a part of our life by thinking on it and doing it, we will reap true treasure.
James 1:21-22 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word (having a willingness to make the Word a part of you by living that concept presented, setting aside conflicting concepts which gender anger, fear, torments), which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
One step at a time ... one step at a time. It is enough, says God.
