Have much?

Look around you right now if you are at home, if not think for a moment about all the things God has blessed you with. We are a blessed and spoiled people, right? Now read theses words of Jesus:

Luke 14:33 

33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

Our life is to be consumed with serving God. Sadly our life is consumed with things. Think about it. How much time do we spend on loving others, meeting needs, and sharing the gospel. Now how much time do you spend on your phone or watching TV.

Chew on what Jesus said....don't take it lightly for it is serious!

Treasures here or there?

Jesus is very clear in scripture about what we are to be doing as followers of Him. Think about these verses and then answer questions after them.

Luke 12:32-34 

32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

1. Look around you right now....are you storing up useless things?

2. Jesus says sell you possessions...another words keep only what you need. Are you?

3. Jesus says give to the needy. What are you doing to help the needy....don't say you can't afford it!

Sadly we often look at scripture as suggestions but it is not. God's Word telling us what to do for the abundant life. Are you storing up treasures here or in heaven???

Less talk!

Proverbs 10:19 

19 In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

When I first read this the news channels came to mind. They talk talk talk! Many times they get things wrong. There are many people who do the same thing. Some just tell stories just so they can keep their lips moving!

God tells us here to be wise and talk with purpose. Know what you are talking about so that truth comes from your mouth. Sometimes even if you have the truth you still need to keep quiet! However the truth of the gospel needs to be told! That is something to talk about as much as you can!

So let us be intentional in our talk not just blabbing to be blabbing!

God is in control!

In this day and time, many will puts their trust in the government to protect them. For the follow of Jesus their is only One in whom we totally put our trust!!!

Psalm 20:7 New King James Version (NKJV)

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

God is where we must understand is in control. He will do as He pleases and we trust Him because He loves us. While our military is awesome it is God who has all the power in His hand!

Need answers?

I don't know about you but I need all the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding I can get and where else better to go than to God!!

Proverbs 2:6 New King James Version (NKJV)

6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

God gave us His Word, so we can get all we need from His Word plus He allows us to talk with Him through prayer in which He will respond as well! What more can we ask???? 

Seek God and He will give you the answers you need!
