Daily Buffet

I walked into the office today and there was someone else at my desk, using my monitor, sitting in my chair.  I felt a little bit like one of the three bears.  Man, what was I going to do.

Well, since my office treats cubes like church pews, all I could do was to go find another place to set up for the day.  And as I looked for another place, my mind drifted over to this little verse and I realized that even though that was MY seat (wink wink), I could use this as a small bit of practice for living this way on more important issues.

Give up your seat today, and put others in front of you!

I have one thing on my mind this morning, and it lies right here…

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13, 14 NIV)

Will you move forward towards the goal with me?

Here’s a nice little thought to remember as you walk through the day:

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us!
-Gungor

Hmmmm. The maker is always working, let him work in you today!!!!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV)

Yesterday I expressed how faith in the full control of the Father is what keeps me moving. Today I realized I am not alone in that struggle.

This has been the motivation of so many over the last two thousand years. So many have thought the same things as the women in
Mark 5;

because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” (Mark 5:28 NIV)

Oh faith! It’s the mystery of the ages, but it’s key to letting the glory of the Father been seen.

I’m holding on. How about you?
