People Do the Oddest Things
The Loneliness Of Personal GrowthThe cream rises to the top. That means that it separates itself from the milk. Perhaps that is what the New Age Movement is really all .....
We send our best wishes for holidays, birthdays, get well,
weddings, and such. Yet, why are we wishing for anything when we
could really bless them in prayer?
We go into a state of panic when our child is a few minutes
late, as if our worry is going to get them home any faster than
trusting God. Satan must get a good laugh.
We receive aggravation on every side, as Satan is alive and
well on Sundays. Thinking we dont need Gods help and no one
will be the wiser, we go it alone; with our painted smiles,
polished attire, and frustrations neatly tucked ... then take it
SOMETHING GOOD IS ABOUT TO HAPPENGenesis 50.20 "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive ..... out on our waitress.
When our spouse is out of town; we receive comfort in a friend
sleeping over, us staying at moms, or one of the kids climbing
into bed ... as if any person present can make us safer than we
already are. God is our protection. Though, maybe wed rather
believe the dark will get us.
Instead of asking the one who owns it all; we spend money we
dont have on things we think we have to have, get our finances
all messed up, then cry, Help!
We sleep in on Sunday morning, thinking it will make our day
brighter. Instead, it makes our week longer.
We prefer to exhaust ourselves with endless deeds than to slow
down, spend time with God, and ask Him what He wants us to do.
We work all the overtime we can get, steal Gods tithe, and
then think were going to financially get ahead.
Believing our doubts and doubting our beliefs; were we to
consider the things we do, we might find them odd, too ... then
look for more desirable alternatives.
Someone once said, When we feed our faith, our doubts will
starve to death.
