Good morning! How are we faithing? Wow man...there is so much to learn from the Word. So much wisdom that transcends time. I have met so many people that have medical issues in their family that all of a sudden the clothes on their back or the car they drive or the house they live in have lost their luster. A trap we all are capable of falling into is the cool things human hands make. Those things are not necessarily evil but they have their place. If where you live, what you drive, how you apparel yourself is of utmost importance, woe is you. There's nothing wrong with a nice car or house or looking as good as you are able to but do you put more importance on those things than what Jesus taught us to do? Do you find you judge others by those things? If you do, repent now! If it means giving up those things, don't be afraid, do it. Not to invoke fear but the reality is all of it could be gone in a brief moment by natural catastrophe, by an accident, by thieves or by job loss and then where are you? Is your being made up of things? No man, it ain't, but if you act and live as they are, the fall will be mighty and that fall will hurt really really bad. Examine yourself today. Look at how you think and behave so you can adjust where necessary. I like stuff as much as the next guy but their importance has dropped way way down on the life list...
Heb 13:5-6
Let your way of life be without the love of money, and be content with such things as you have, for He has said, "Not at all will I leave you, not at all will I forsake you, never!" so that we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me."
1Ti 6:6-8 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and it is clear that we can carry nothing out. But having food and clothing, we will be content.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for what we have and who we are. Help us to grow to who you made us to be. Help us not put so much importance on things that they take your place. Lord we ask for courage and wisdom to live holy and honorably with your eyes and a heart for your people. Help us recognize the needs and cover our tongues with your words. In Jesus name, amen
