God Is Calling You to Remove Any Hope You Have of Finding Lasting Joy in Anything But Him<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Ultimately our joy must be rooted in the Lord. As\u00a0<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Phil%204.4\" data-reference=\"Phil 4.4\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Philippians 4:4<\/a>\u00a0commands, \u201cRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Here we can see that God does not expect us to always be happy with our\u00a0circumstances, our relationship status, or our health. God does not want us to pretend that we don\u2019t want something that we really do. Rather, God tells us here that even when we don\u2019t have something good that we want, we must still \u201cRejoice in the Lord always.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">If God is not our joy, nothing in this world will satisfy us. Even if God does bless you with other good things in this world, you won\u2019t be able to enjoy them if are not first satisfied in God. Before God can really bless you, you first need to be full in him. Everything else disappoints us when our hearts are actually looking for God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As\u00a0<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Ps%2027.4\" data-reference=\"Ps 27.4\" data-version=\"niv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Psalm 27:4 (NIV)<\/a>\u00a0states, \u201cOne thing\u00a0I ask from the\u00a0Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the\u00a0Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the\u00a0Lord and to seek him in his temple.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/product\/way-to-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1207 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2940014086141_p0_v1_s600x595-1.jpg?resize=232%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2940014086141_p0_v1_s600x595-1.jpg?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2940014086141_p0_v1_s600x595-1.jpg?resize=416%2C537&amp;ssl=1 416w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2940014086141_p0_v1_s600x595-1.jpg?w=461&amp;ssl=1 461w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. God Wants You to Remove Anything That Is Hindering You from Hearing the Word So He Can Bless You<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Psalm 119\u00a0is the longest chapter in the entire Bible. Verse 1 states, \u201cBlessed are those whose\u00a0way is blameless, who\u00a0walk in the law of the\u00a0Lord!\u201d The next 175 verses go on to explain the importance of knowing God\u2019s word and obeying it if we desire to be blessed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Sadly, because God\u2019s word is so available to many of us, we have lost sight of its true importance. We often fall into the false belief that just because something is in abundance it has less value. Because the Bible is always there for us, we seek out special revelations on the internet, special words of wisdom in books, and talented speakers who say things we never thought about before. But if our Bibles stay closed and just collect dust on the shelf, it all amounts to nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Prov%2028.9\" data-reference=\"Prov 28.9\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Proverbs 28:9<\/a>\u00a0says, \u201cIf one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his\u00a0prayer is an abomination.\u201d Hearing the word of God is crucial if you desire God\u2019s favor on your life because it teaches you how to live, what to value, and how to pray. Therefore, to be blessed by God, remove anything from your life that is hindering you from getting into God\u2019s word every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/product\/living-an-inspired-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1192 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image.jpg?resize=305%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"305\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image.jpg?w=305&amp;ssl=1 305w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image.jpg?resize=229%2C300&amp;ssl=1 229w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3. God Is Asking You to Remove the Lie That Godliness Is a Means of Earthly Gain<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">God does bless the godly with good earthly things. But according to Scripture, he gives good things to the wicked too (<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Matt%205.45\" data-reference=\"Matt 5.45\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Matthew 5:45<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Acts%2014.17\" data-reference=\"Acts 14.17\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Acts 14:17<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Acts%2017.25\" data-reference=\"Acts 17.25\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Acts 17:25<\/a>). So godliness is not a path to earthly blessings. As\u00a0<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/1%20Tim%206.4-7\" data-reference=\"1 Tim 6.4-7\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">1 Timothy 6:4-7<\/a>\u00a0explains:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b><sup>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">and constant friction among people\u00a0who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth,\u00a0imagining that godliness is a means of gain.\u00a0But\u00a0godliness\u00a0with contentment is great gain,\u00a0for\u00a0we brought nothing into the world, and<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">we cannot take anything out of the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Paul seems to be contradicting himself. First he says godliness is not a means of gain. But then he says godliness does produce great gain. As usual for rightly interpreting Scripture, the context makes all the difference. Paul first makes clear that godliness is not a promise for earthly gain. But the type of godliness that produces contentment in God does produce huge gains because this world is fading but God is forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">None of this means Paul is saying that earthly blessings are bad (<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/1%20Tim%206.17\" data-reference=\"1 Tim 6.17\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">1 Timothy 6:17<\/a>). He doesn\u2019t condemn riches (just the love of riches,\u00a0<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/1%20Tim%206.10\" data-reference=\"1 Tim 6.10\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">1 Timothy 6:10<\/a>). He simply makes it abundantly clear that things on earth should be used to help us store up more treasures in heaven so we can be truly blessed (<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/1%20Tim%206.18-19\" data-reference=\"1 Tim 6.18-19\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">1 Timothy 6:18-19<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>4. God Wants You to Remove Your Preconceived Ideas of What His Blessings Will Look Like<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Perhaps you are waiting for a man over 6 feet tall who wants to start an orphanage with you one day. But maybe God is waiting to give you a man who is shorter than that and has other ministry passions but is willing to support you in your desire to help at an orphanage. Perhaps you are waiting for a wife whose been an obedient Christian from her youth. But perhaps God is waiting to give you someone who has become a Christian later in life, turned from sin, and is now completely passionate about Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The point is, oftentimes the limiting factor that is hindering God\u2019s blessing is our own false expectations. Let go of what you think you want and allow God to give you what he knows is best. As\u00a0<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Eph%203.20-21\" data-reference=\"Eph 3.20-21\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">Ephesians 3:20-21<\/a>\u00a0states:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.

As the Crusader knights desperately await the arrival of Edward Longshanks and his relieving army, Sultan Baibaars targets his Mamluk hordes against their greatest stronghold in Syria, the Krak des Chevaliers. A thousand miles away in Wales, fourteen-year-old Garyn learns a disturbing secret. It will drive him on a crusade of his own: a quest to avenge his family, save his brother and in the process recover the holiest relic in the history of Christendom. As the Crusades ignite around him, Garyn learns this is a time of brutality and chivalry; of strong men with stronger hearts, an era with no place for the weak. A searing and unforgettable novel of medieval warfare, Medieval ?
