I want to see if we are willing to pull up our mirrors today and look into them. How you livin? That was a Bernie Mac line, I think. I know folks that believe success is based upon all the stuff that they can get. Some acquire fortune and notoriety. Some have had fly girls and guys on their arms. Nice houses and cars.. Then, when you see them in the quiet time, they aren’t truly happy. They have to try to find something or someone to hopefully fix their itch. Yeah, they love their possessions but have no real peace or true joy. They have spent their entire lives trying to get and while getting they have given nothing out. Some of you have issues being in healthy relationships because you only know how to take and never gave in return. Because of that your potential relationships die before they flourish. Are you a dead sea? Some say they want a desk job with a suit on but refuse to get any type of training or education. They end up in what they call a dead end job.. The Dead Sea takes in water but none flows out of it. Because if this phenomenon, nothing can live in it. No fish, plant life, or birds… The water is no good either. We want God to constantly bless us and we refuse or forget to bless others as we are being blessed. I mean truly wanting to be a blessing. Not feeding the poor or clothing the hungry in order to be recognized for doing so. Folks crack me up when they want to support a cause but feel the need to broadcast that they did it out of the kindness of their hearts. I have received some of my biggest blessings from folks who chose to go unrecognized or unmentioned. So, I say this: Take a look at your life, your relationships, your finances, your ministry….. Is it living or are the waters standing still?
Proverbs 10: 4- says A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. A child who gathers in summer is prudent, but a child who sleeps in harvest brings shame
