Good morning! How are we faithing? Monday morning after a long weekend. Sometimes we sin, sometimes not. Sometimes we get depressed when others do wrong but seem to succeed. Sometimes we see selfish motivations let someone get what seems to be all the good stuff. I here to tell you that even thought they got what they wanted, it's an empty victory. Don't believe me? Ever notice they always want more? Ever notice they keep going from one thing to another by any means available? That doesn't look like joy or contentment to me. I'm not saying to stop striving but what is your motivation? We must learn a basic principle. Whatever we do, do it because we are doing it for God. As his children we must set the example for everyone by doing, acting, saying everything because it is indeed all for God. Looky here;
1 Peter 1:13-16
Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
NIV
See that? Rather eye opening isn't it when you apply that to everything...
remember Charlie Riddle...remember Tova Travis...remember Kellynn and Ty...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that teaches us how to be. Thank you for wisdom that is so above this world. Lord we lift those listed and those not, we lift them to you. Touch them and heal hearts, minds and bodies today. In Jesus name amen
