Bubbling Beneath the Surface

I dont know about you, but lately, I have sensed this bubbling right beneath the surface...a feeling I can't put my finger on, but a sense of urgency to reach my world for the Lord. One of my favorite songs talks about "I'm never going back to OK, never going back to easy...." I love those words. They are a call. There is a current calling - A God-given calling to be more urgent in our world. To step out of "tradition" and "how it's always been done" to "relevant" and "dynamic." Don't you feel it too? The Lord is moving...where will He take us?

The Best of Everything

On the way to work today, the "word on The Way" (the radio station) was (can't remember the reference I know I'm terrible) but "in all things honor the Lord with the very best of what you produce." Not only was this applicable to back in the day when Israel was growing food and livestock, but today it still very much applies.

So it got me to thinking, "What do I produce?" Well, a household, a marriage, my children, a company, my finances, a VBS production. Those were the things that popped in my head. Then I thought, do I give God the best of everything I produce?

Do I give God the BEST of EVERYTHING I produce?

All that I produce is a gift from Him...am I returning to him a portion...not just a portion, but the best of what I produce? Do I commit my children to the Lord? What about my marriage? What about my time? I fall very short. I give so much of my time, money, effort away to things that aren't eternal.....so pray for me today as I think about giving to God the best of everything I produce. And let's pray for each other. Have a lovely, blessed, victorious day!

Interesting article. Has the church's message veered off track? Or are the hearts of people being hardened? Or both? How do we share the love of Jesus?
