I recently shared with our folks a document called "Introduction to Property Law from a Toddler's Perspective." This is funny ...
" The Introduction to Property Law From A Toddler's Perspective."
If I like it, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a while ago, it's mine.
If I say it's mine, it's mine.
If it looks like mine, it's mine.
If I say I saw it first, it's mine.
If you're having fun with it, it's mine.
If you lay down your toy, it's mine.
If it's broken, it's yours.
Reality, would you say? But I have seen some adults act like that and live by those concepts. Now, that is sad.
Earlier this week I gave you some verses that I want to share with you again:
Micah 6:6-8 (nlt) --- What can we bring to the Lord? What kind of offerings should we give him? Should we bow before God with offerings of yearling calves? Should we offer him thousands of rams and ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Should we sacrifice our firstborn children to pay for our sins? No, O people, the L ord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
As I read those verses what comes to mind is a person that wants to make their way to go in ways other than what God asks for. They want to buy their way in, work their way in or do anything to be part of God's plan and family. Truth is, nothing will get us to God other than knowing Him. That is it. It is that simple.
God desires for us to be pure and passionate people for Him. Pure means right living. Passion means loving what God loves and liking being around God's stuff, God's people and God.
So, my question is this: what are we holding back or holding on to or trying to do that is keeping us from knowing God to the highest level, fullest extent and more?
John 14:7 (nlt) --- ... From now on, you do know him and have seen him!
