Great Examples in Action

What it do my G-d is Dopers! (That was corny right?) lol :)

A week or so ago I was studying Obadiah, yes Obadiah (it's a dope book by the way you should go check it out!) I got ALOT out of that joker but I'm gonna talk about one of the principles I grasped out of it. Chapter 1:15 says,

" For the day of the LORD draws near on all the nations 

         As you have done, it will be done to you 

         Your dealings will return on your own head."

The Lord was rebuking and basically condemning Edom in this book for the way they treated the children of Israel. He told them as they had done it would be done unto them. Even though we know God was speaking to the Edomites this is a powerful principle that is applicable to our lives and it's VERY weighty!

As you have done it'll be done unto you. Your dealings will return onto your head.

I immediately saw places in my life where I could apply this and did! The only thing is I did it with wrong motives. You see I blog (as if you didn't know) and record music and I want others to read my posts and listen to my tracks but I didn't give other 'bloggers' and 'musicians' the time of day (unless I really liked them!). So I started reading blogs and listening to music immediately! I was on a roll! And every blog I read or song I listened to I left a comment, letting it be known I was there, even when I didn't have anything to say!

It was in hopes that they or someone else would one day click my page or my link and God showed me this wickedness of my heart not too long afterwards and said thats not what it's about! And I then repented and resolved to exercise this principle with a pure heart, not so that they can come check out my stuff, but to really read or listen to their stuff.

But it doesn't end there, because this post is not about me. No way, no how. You see God has been showing me individuals who have been exhibiting this principle in their life selflessly and effortlessly (so it appears to me!). People like my uncle Q who gets my tracks and mixes them cheerfully and doesn't ask or expect anything in return. Or my homie John Tatulli who has done a great amount of artwork for me in a short amount of time all for free, and get this I just met him a month or so ago! Or my peoples Joshua Minso who hit me up out of no where and told me he wanted to take some pics of me free of charge. He has a photography business that he's starting and wants to take photos of me expecting nothing in return.

These are a few of the great men who are showing me this principle in action and it's a honor to know these men of God. Join me if you will in praying that God will honor these men because of their hearts to serve selflessly. And I'm confident that He will!

So, to John, Josh and Q Bang thank you for being such great examples to me and now to everyone else who reads this blog!

And grab a hold of that promise, as you have done it'll be done unto you.

Now, to the rest of you I hope and pray that you will also grab a hold of this principle and put it into action!

You Already Know!
