Hi there Ladies!
Let us get to it.
Do we have idols that we worship other than God? Yes. Do we want to admit it? No.
A huge idol that we worship whether we know it or not is money. Our money, someone elses money. Money we don't have. Money we are going to make in the future. It is a huge factor in our decision making. Sometimes it makes us think that we are something we are not. Other times, the lack of money, does the same thing. We judge people a certain way for having it and others in another way for not having it. Doesn't this seem silly? It is silly.
Money is a tool to be used in life. It is not our guidance. God is our guidance.
As a society we need to back away from placing so much emphasis on money and place more emphasis on the Lord. If we will look to the Lord like we look at money we will be so productive in Kingdom work. Think about how the homeless population might look if we all spent a little more time helping those in need. Help them by just listening and praying with them. Help them by teaching them a new skill. In turn they would help us see things with a new perspective and therefor allow us to help others that we may not have been able to reach before!
Let's move it a little closer to home. Grab the hand of an older member in your church or maybe a neighbor. Listen to them. Pray with them. Learn from them. God has given us all so many different paths in life. We should share where we have been so that others may use the information to benefit the whole.
Do not make anything an idol. Even if it is a blessing. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing. Unless you are talking about God. We must stay in His word daily to really get convicted to do the right things.
I leave you with this. Love on your people, your neighbors and even strangers. Do not judge them for what they have or for what they lack. Do not allow yourself to be judged in the same ways. Live a life so "FOR" God that people will over look what you have or don't have.
I love you ladies!
