Hello!
Just wanted to comment on something God has reminded me. This last week I began to remember when I first became a christian and God asked me to surrender my things to him. And I gladly did it because I realized that I really did not have much and sure yeah it was His. But now as I am growing I am realizing that I am accumulating more things. I have found myself holding on to them more and more and taking less risks with my things and even wanting more. Hmmm…..God brought this up to me and I realized wow this is interesting….why am I afraid of risks? Is it really a risk when you are entrusting your things to the King? I have been reading Samuel lately and just past the part where the people want to king and when Samuel converses with the Lord it kind of plays out like this:
Samuel: God they want a King….. but you are the king
God: i am there King but they have rejected me not you Samuel. We will give them a King
So with great warning and declaration of their sin Samuel announces a King
It was kind of a sad announcement to me. They put this King over them after they rejected God as being the King. Isn’t this what this whole thing is about? Us being reunited with God through Christ so that He can be our King. So I began to refocus. God is my King. He is the King of my finances, He is the King of my things, He is the keeper of my heart. He is holy.
Is God the King of your things?
