Contemplations

     Suppose that you are the winning contestant on a game show.  You are the big winner, and are given the choice to choose between four prizes.  The first prize is a million dollars.  The second prize consists of luxuries for the rest of your life.  The third prize is a successful career.  The fourth prize is a greater knowledge of and relationship with the Lord.  Which would you choose?

  Okay, most people in today's society would probably favor the first two.  But, that is where great wisdom comes in to play.  How do we envision things? What do they mean to us?  What is most important to us?  Most people, when they go to purchase a car, tend to look at what the car looks like and what its features are.

  Is that really more important than what's under the hood?   We need to pray for the proper instruments that will allow us to navigate our life's path in the best way.  If we ask God for His wisdom, and the insight to be able to envision life through His eyes, He will help us.

  So, let's return to the first question.  The unpopular answer is the best one.  Factors like money, success, and luxuries are unimportant if we don't have God in our lives.  Why?  This is because any thing worth having can only come from Him.

  The moment that we make Him Lord of our life, His joy fills our hearts.  He becomes our source, our answer and everything.  Wouldn't you rather have the things that come from His hands of grace and love?  You certainly would!

They are the priceless gifts that are worth more than you could ever imagine!

Dear Lord,

Please bless my dear friends.  Help them to see and experience your presence so powerfully in their lives.  Come into their hearts, and be their Lord forever.  Amen
