Desperation....

Our God is greater; Our God is stronger
God you are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, Awesome in power
Our God, Our God.

     How true are these words? We truly serve an incredible God. Or, I dont know we have an incredible God. Do we always serve Him? Josue, who is our Spiritual Director for our kids, said the following in the meeting this morning-- "I know God is watching all that I do and my heart beats really fast when I think of it." When was the last time we stopped and though about the work we are doing for the Lord? And knowing that He is watching us and we get excited/anxious/nervous about it? Our God is Awesome in power and he expects us to work hard for him,all the time, in all things.


    The group that is here this week does nighly devotions and it has been WONDERFUL! To be challenged, changed, and encouraged. We talked about the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30 the other night. If you aren't familiar with the story, Jesus tells a story about 3 different mean recieving three different amounts of talents (1 talent= about $600,000 in today's money). The first recieved 5, then 3, and then 1. The ones who recieved 5 and 3 went out and invested their money and double the amount of talents they had been given by their master. The master was pleased by them. The one who just had 1 talent was scared to lose it and to disappoint his master because he knew how hard his master worked, so he just buried it. The master was furious and took the 1 talent from him and gave it to the one who had 10. So, we see the different ways people take the talents/abilites that God has given us and what they do with it. In the devotion we talked about what how this parable showed the character of God, and man.... how it deepens our understanding for the need of Jesus as Saviour and how it will effect our lives. This is what I got, Our desperation for Christ to live insdie of us to use the God trusted abilites is crucical, because without him, we don't shine and multiply our talents--because, we alone, are the darkness in the world. It is Christ who shines within us.

I'll leave you with this thought.... how desperate are you to serve our amazing God?


Love to you all.
