TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “But if you keep looking steadily into God’s perfect law- the law that sets you free- and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.” James 1:25
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Today’s message will give each of us the opportunity to dig deep into our beliefs and find what is most important to us in our lives. It is so easy to sometimes get involved so deeply in the events of our lives that we forget what we are doing here in the first place. We were chosen for this moment by God himself. There is no happen stance in our existence. We were created for a purpose, and we were given a free choice as to follow that purpose or to take a different direction. There are so many things of this world that make us happy. Our families are the first to come to mind. There are also things like a good job and living in a country that represents the freedoms that we all love. There is that perfect vacation, the weekend football games, the love of golfing and many other things too numerous to mention. What we forget, while enjoying all of our earthly excitement, is who provides all of these opportunities for us. We forget who puts that perfect person in our path, who gives us that great family and that great vacation we so desire. We get so involved in our happiness on this earth that we forget about the joy that is provided by our Lord God in heaven. Our focus has gone down the wrong path and we relish things of this world, things that one day will be gone. It is time for us to take a step back and look at what we are doing. What is most important in our lives? Where do our thoughts go most of the time? Are they thinking of the things of the world or are they on our relationship with Jesus Christ? Are we living our lives to satisfy our own desires or are we living our lives to please our creator in heaven? It is time to reassess! The time is short, and priorities are important. Where is the Lord in your list of priorities? JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
