GOD HELP US TO RIGHTLY DISCERN

"He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us."

Luke 19:12-14

A friend of mine called me today, reminding to be a good steward of the things that God has given me. He reminded me of this verse, "OCCUPY TILL I COME." I was telling him of some situations that have transpired lately that have stirred my thoughts to get rid of certain things in hopes of doing good for others. He said make sure you are praying and discerning correctly. Remember to OCCUPY until He comes. Be a good steward of what has given you. Sometimes it means sell what you have and give it away, and other times it means to use what you have to bless others.

MANY PARTS

Why do you suppose there are many parts to the body? Each part supplying what the others are lacking. Why is there so much lack? Could it be that others are mistaking their existance is to save up and make itself sole priority, and think that the other parts should survive on its own? Parts are just parts if they stand alone. Together they are a body, the body.

Sell all you own and give it away. Do not be proud to have savings or good amount in your bank account when your neighbor has been struggling to make ends meet with children, and no way to put food on the table.

If you have faith in God, you will give what you have and watch the Lord multiply your little bit or your lot and you will continually have more to give away. Man's ways are not God's way. Man's way: To each his own. God's way: Love your neighbor.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

You want to hear God's voice? You want to make wise decisions? You want to be selfless? Get into the Word of God. Give yourself to reading and to prayer. You want change to come? Be still. Determine to live out the Word of God hour by hour. The fear of God is to hate evil and every wrong path. To fear God and keep His commands is the whole duty of a man. His will is His word.
