ADRENALINE IDOLATRY?

This is not an attack on the ballers, thrill seekers, or sports addicts. I, myself, am an explorer that appreciates high energy activities. I consider it a great priviledge to be outside, to be in the sun, to dive into cold water, to run and run and run. At times I have been convicted in my heart of something that might be trying to exalt itself above God in my life. An immediate response and attention is required to obey the voice of my Father. I have learned that anything can become an idol (false god) in your thoughts and life if you let it.

Ignoring that little whisper, the question that causes conviction to arise in your mind; can be very dangerous if one decides to keep on going in his or her own way. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to destruction." Proverbs 14:12

"Dear Children, Keep yourselves from idols." I John 5:21 "...Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17 Whatever is whatever. Sports, writing, occupation, raising a family, relationships...whatever you do in word or deed...keep JESUS front and center. Do all to please Him, to glorify His name, to bring Him praise and honor. Do not boast of yourself, your strength, your accomplishments. . . for without the breath of God, His power and strength, you and I can do nothing.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.
