are we so proud of what we have been given that we cannot see our need for salvation--salvation from a world we think we have created?
have we earned the houses we live in, the cars we drive, the food we eat, and the clothes we wear because we worked 40hrs this week and purchased these things on our own?
then this week try to work without the hands GOD blessed us with, the feet HE gave us to walk on, the air HE created for us to breath, the brain he designed for us to make our decisions, and the grace HE pours on us each morning as we drive safely to our jobs. what is really ours?..GOD's Love, Grace, Salvation, and Strength. what is really HIS?... "The earth is the LORD's, and all it fullness, the world and those who dwell therein."-Psalms 24:1
who are we to hoard HIS blessings and HIS possessions?---share with the world around you.
if you are anything like me ridding yourself of clutter is sometimes a tough step. i like to have a pair of shoes for every occasion that might arise, and a jacket, shirt, and belt to match. but do i really need it? is looking together and "hip" what GOD is looking for in my life?
this week take a look in your closet and around your house, and ask, "what do i really need? what can i use to bless a brother or sister in need?" find a shelter, ministry, homeless person, family in need, etc., and share the passion of CHRIST. bless somebody.
i have been challenged by a brother to live more and more like JESUS. i hope you are challenged as well.
GOD is Greater
