The notion of divine control

Matthew 7:11
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Galatians 5:6

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”

What matters most? Priorities are key in our everyday lives if we are to be successful and productive. This is equally true in our discipleship. We want to concentrate on what is key, essential, and most important. Paul reminds us what is essential: Faith showing itself in loving actions.

Faith that does not show itself in loving and helpful action is dead (James 2). Jesus wants our faith to express itself in vibrant and loving service.

Thoughts 

. I do not find God hard to live with. - A. W. Tozer

. It is better to be a child of God than king of the whole world. - Aloysius Gonzaga

. Grow, Jesus, grow in me, in my heart, in my spirit, my imagination, my senses, by your modesty, your purity, your humility, your zeal, your love.  Grow with your grace, your light, your peace.  Grow despite my resistance, my pride. - Bernadette Soubirous

Scripture for Comfort

Psalm 46:1-3

  God is our refuge and strength,
 A very present help in trouble.
  Therefore we will not fear,
 Even though the earth be removed,
 And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
  Though its waters roar and be troubled,
 Though the mountains shake with its swelling.

[Message No: 7368]
