Stop Crying Over Spilled Milk

Stop Crying Over Spilled Milk

1.     Stop making a Big Deal about Every Incident that occurs in our lives.  Incident - an occurrence of an action or situation.  II Timothy 2:3-4 That thou therefore endure (to go through without giving in) hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

2.     Learn how to go with the flow – Trusting God in all situations and Letting Go Of those things that we cannot control – II Tim 3:14 – But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. (You have to know when to use The Word that was given you).

3.     Forget about the Spilled Milk -  Phil 3:13 -forgetting those things which are behind,-- The Spilled Milk can represent the Incident that has upset us, the trial that we must face, the weaknesses of others, the mistakes of others, the burdens placed upon us, the ever ending ministries entrusted unto us, the afflictions that we have to endure, the painful events of the past, the bad marriage and on and on and on…………

4.     Learning to Clean Up the Mess that enters Our Lives Phil 3:13 - reaching forth unto those things which are before,  Ephesians 6: 13-Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand (endure the spiritual warfare) in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Having done ALL – After you have done all that you know to do using faith and prayer – STAND STILL AND WAIT ON THE SALVATION OF THE LORD!  Proverbs 3:5 – Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding, In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. Reaching – Do not allow the spilled milk to stagnate your life…Phil – I PRESS toward the mark (the end of my journey with spiritual fruit as my success)   for the prize  (whatever it is that God has for me for preservering on earth)  of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.   Keeping on doing a good work for the Lord.  Keep on praising God in the midst of the mess – Stay focused on your goals and priorities – Fight a good battle using righteousness and prayer as your weapons. 1 Cor – Let all things be done with charity.   II Cor. 10:4-For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.  (Strongholds – Situations and Circumstances that have a STRONG HOLD to prevent us from progressing in our lives)

5.     Letting go of offenses and irritations and forgive –Ephesians 4:31 – Let all bitterness and wrath and anger, and clamor (to persuade another person by talking the loudest) andevil speaking, be put away from you with all malice and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.  To FORGIVE One for an offense is to oppose hate, wrath, bitterness, anger, evil speaking  and show love.
