Values of Life

PictureThe above image of a gracious home. There are many people who have to make do with a tent or caravan, these days. But what if we gain the whole world and lose our soul for eternity. Eternity is a long time to live without the blessings of God. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added.
Value.
​ How did I lose my peace and my joy? How did I miss the presence of God? Why did I lose the blessing? And the light of revelation blackout?  Who changed?  What happened?  Did God change his mind about me? Is he mad at me?


PictureIf we put a relationship with God first, he will make sure we prosper, we are blessed, our lives enriched.
Life got in my way, and I didn’t pursue God single-mindedly, I didn’t put Christ first.  I didn’t value his presence, his peace and joy, his blessing, above all,  himself.  I appreciated things, activities, and people more than I valued Christ.  That is why the light of revelation went out. The joy of blessing died. I thought what I was doing was legitimate; it helped people; therefore, it must be right.  When God loses the race in the value stakes, we are in trouble.  Our peace, joy, blessing fades, stress, worry, fear fill the void.


PictureJewelry is often believed to be a good investment. The greatest and long lasting investment is valuing a relationship with God.
Paul the Apostle wrote, ‘What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.  I count all things a loss to gain the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ. I count them dung that I might win Christ.’ Philippians 3: 7.  LB
It is easy to place value on job, children, marriage and what other people think of us.  These four are the big things in life and are important and must be valued highly but not at the expense of God. If we are to succeed in these four values we must put God first. All these things may be important, but they should take second place and God first place. ‘Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things are are added.'
God hasn’t changed, or mad at us, departed from us.  No, we just changed our value system.  Return to glorifying God, valuing him above all else as though it was dung and we’ll be in heaven, in the throne room of God, enjoying his presence and doing more significant works than Christ.
 


PictureThe bustle of city dwelling and its attractions can distract us from the greatest and longest lasting relationship - a relationship with God.
Thought for the day: ‘The reason why our experience is hot and cold is that we aren’t valuing what God has done in our lives above all else.’  Andrew Wommack
