the 4 p's Posted by poolboyjames on September 17, 2010 at 6:16 PM comments (0)ok one thing that's been floating around in my head is a concept that i came up with during a time when i was doing a bit of bible study
i came up with 4 p's that u get when u live in the will of God and you are obedient to Him you get protection, provision, peace and pleasure ok no one quote me on this.. this is just something i came up with.. i haven't done any studying to back this up but i think it rings true for the most part i also am inclined to believe that i put them in the order u will likely get each one from God like say u give your life to God, for the most part i think He will first make sure u are protected.. like if u were in a gang He will provide a way out for you without u having to get shot for betraying them then when u are at a place of not having anything from your old life to fall back on, God will then give u provision.. meaning say u were spending stolen money and spending drug money.. but now that you've given your life to Christ you no longer have that income.. but out of nowhere one of your old friends says you can stay with them for a few months.. that is God's provision then i think the last 2 are more difficult for most people to come by and keep.. but if you keep your mind on God u will have peace and you will have the comfort of knowing u are on the right path in life which wipes away a lot of selfishness and fear (like fear of death for example) then i think the last thing u get is pleasure.. i think its the hardest one to capture, but trust me God wants us to have pleasure and enjoy our lives.. just in healthy ways.. so if you stick with God He will reveal His good and perfect will for you, your career, spouse, etc. u have to realize He already knew u before you were born.. He knows everything He has good thoughts toward u and He wants to bless you.. and when God gives a blessing nothing bad comes with it so there is definitely pleasure in living a Godly lifestyle i think the issue is a lot of times people give up before making it to that place soooo.. i tried to say all of this as quickly as possible.. i feel like i could go on and on about this however i really just wanted to point out the 4 p's i came up with protection, provision, peace, and pleasure just wanted to throw that out there
