Bible Verse of The Day – 2-4-15

Matthew 6:21 (NKJV) 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Have you ever wondered where your relationship with God is really at?

Sometimes we question where we’re at with God and we don’t know for sure where we’re at in our walk with Him.

The best way to tell where we’re really at is to take a look at what we think about and talk about the most. What things mean the most to us? What puts a smile on our face when we think about it? What gets us excited when we talk about it to others?

These things that excite us are where our treasure is. So if our hobby excites us but God doesn’t, then we need to check our priorities.

If shopping for new clothes excites us, but spending time with God doesn’t, then we need to check our priorities.

If buying a new power tool or a new accessory for our car excites us, but sowing finances into the kingdom of God doesn’t, then we need to check our priorities.

These are not easy things to teach about. People tend to get offended when their hobbies or their finances are involved. But if we are to ever grow as believers and truly put God first, we need to let God touch these areas of our lives.

So, today, let’s take a serious look at where we’re at and let’s ask God to show us where our heart really is. And then let’s give Him permission to make the adjustments that are needed!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-13-15

1 Corinthians 13:11(NKJV) 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

We can not stay babies forever. There comes a time when we need to mature and grow in the things of God. Just as a little child grows up and changes the way he/she does things, so do we mature and grow up in the things of God.

How do we mature in the things of God? One way is by holding our tongue when everything in us wants to talk. This works that muscle of maturity.

Then there may be times when we need to do the opposite, we need to speak up and say something even when we don’t want to or like what we have to say.

There have been times when God has shown us some things and it was so good, but we couldn’t say a word to anyone about it. We had to hold it and pray. We had to keep it between us and God.

When God gives us eyes to see things it does not mean we run with it. Maturity causes us to run to Him and say “what do you want us to do with it Lord?”, and then wait for His leading or His promptings.

Holding back at times when God shows us things and being still can be the hardest thing to do, but that is a big part of maturing and we will learn to wait on God’s leading as we grow in Christ.

Amen.
