Hodge Podge

This morning for my usual devotional I went to the Worship channel and the scriptures to create the atmosphere most conducive for me personally to listen. The message did not come to me in the usual manner. It came as a Hodge Podge of information that took a minute to assimilate. I will relate it to you as it came to me for fun. Since the word of God touches each one of us differently depending on our circumstances, I know it will speak to you. I just do not know how.

• Set your sights on heaven
• Eliminate the security blankets in you life.
• Serve God

It would be impossible, I know, to hear how each of you understood these thoughts but I would have enjoyed hearing them. This is how they ministered to me.

Set our sight on heaven for we are only passing through. Our real life is in Christ and at best we are ambassadors here for a short time to lead others to their eternal home, a home He has prepared for those who love Him and have received Him as Lord and Savior.

Eliminate the security blankets in our lives. So many things are out there to promise security, love, value, acceptance but none of them can come through. Everything this life offers is temporary and has very little value in relationship to our eternal home. What are the security blankets? Anything we depend on for our happiness, value, security, love or acceptance. God is our only security blanket. I often reach out to the wrong thing. Do you?

Serve God. That is different for everyone. The common denominator is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If our site is set on heaven and we know that we are to point others to Him then anything that he calls us to that accomplishes this goal is service.

Hope you enjoyed our Hodge Podge
