Something to Ponder & Think About This Morning

Morning everyone,

Just here at church early again this morning though not as early as last week. I arrived here at 7:10 AM this time around. I read through Luke 12 this morning and I wanted to share some insights with all of you.

There was just a lot in this particular chapter to say the least. I liked verses 22-34 where it talks about focusing on God rather than on clothes. The Message titles it Steep Yourself in God-Reality; pretty cool way of putting it eh? In verse 29 it says "What I'm trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God's giving." Oh how true that is with me, I'll throw out all these prayers about me, something church related, or help in situation i.e. give me whatever I just asked for. Granted, we are supposed to pray and be talking with God in every and any situation yet, we should have more prayers/praise of something about he's made i.e. flowers, another day to breathe etc. Plus once we don't just focus on us rather what God wants us to do/Him we'll be so much better off.

That focus also ties in with Pastor's Message today which will be focusing on Acts 9:1-31 where Saul becomes a believer with the new name of Paul. He was focused on himself crushing those who believed in Christ. He wasn't focused on God nor had his gazed fixed on Him. After he became blind and was filled with the Holy Spirit, things took a 180.


Lord may I and others be filled with the Holy Spirit and have our own 180 degree turn. May we focus on eyes on You and not on ourselves or things of this world. Be with all of us today and every day as we walk through this life. Amen


Have a good one everyone! :)
