My Daily Walk With The Lord

Some questions I reflect on in my daily walk:

1.     Where is God at in my life?

2.     What is He trying to teach me through this pain, person, event?

3.     Who have I blessed today?

4.     Whom have I hurt today?   What amends are needed?

5.     What is God calling me to do today?

God's Imperfect Disciples

Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was a cheater, Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead....

God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the CALLED.  May we each live in the confidence that even in our weaknesses and vulnerabilities, God can use us in powerful ways to accomplish His Kingdom work on earth.

Blessing Others We Are Blessed

One corn farmer won all the blue ribbons for his corn year after year at the surrounding fairs.  Yet each year he shared his best seed corn with all his neighbors.  "How do you expect to continue to win blue ribbons," someone asked him, "if you give your best seed corn to others?"  "You don't understand," said the farmer.  "The wind carries the pollen form field to field.  And if I am to have the best corn I must see to it that all my neighbors also have the best corn.  If they produce poor corn it will pollinate mine and pull my quality down."  So it is, the principle holds for all of life.  We are interdependent and dependent on each other.  And the quality of our lives depends on the quality of our neighbors' lives.  Sounds like the community of Christians to me.

Zig Ziglar said many times: "You can get everything out of life you want, if you just help others get what they want."
