Not My Car!

“Now the entire group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, and no one claimed hat any of his possessions was his own, but instead they held everything in common. Acts 4:32

It is really difficult to allow others to use our stuff. It is really easy to offer up other people's stuff. That is why I don't own a car. God owns a lot of cars and let's me borrow two of them on a regular basis so it is easy to lend them out to others.

Lord, thank You for letting me borrow so many of Your cool things.

“Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us— to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

No such thing. We like to think we can do anything and at the same time, we often feel we can do nothing. Both are wrong. Rest assured. God can do everything and better than we can ever imagine.

Lord, thank You!

Work Harder!

“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?” Mark 8:35-37

When things aren't going well, it is human nature to "work harder" which usually refers to "doing MORE of the same". Rarely do we "work harder" by "working different" and making the difficult choices and actions that are uncomfortable but will bring different results. If we truly don't feel our life is going the way that we want, more of the same probably isn't as wise as more of God.

Lord, help me to lose my life FOR You.

What Matters To You?!

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21

Frustrated with your job or lack of one? Frustrated with a relationship or lack of one? Frustrated with your appearance or some physical characteristic? Frustrated with your life? It is natural to be frustrated when our expectations are not met. However, when our focus is on God and we trust that He matters more than our jobs, relationships and other things we tend to find more important, then God will take care of those things that matter to us.

Lord, help me to put You first and put the other things in my life in proper perspective and priority and trust that You won't let those things slide unless they truly are unimportant.

Earn Rest!

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

You would think that resting would be the easiest "activity" in the world to do. However, true rest requires a couple things. First of all, to need rest, we must work first. Laziness is not rest. Rest is a reward/requirement/result of working hard. Secondly, we must seek rest. We must be intentional about setting aside time to be able to rest. More specifically, for spiritual and emotional rest, we must seek God who can truly provide the rest we want and need.

Lord, please give me rest but more specifically, help me to remember to come to You when I need rest.
