God bless!

        Have you ever had a conversation with someone and no matter how loud you got or how much you insisted it seemed like the message didn’t get through? Being a father I can tell you I feel this way frequently J. I’m touching this subject today because frequently God does the same for us, in fact He does it at least once a week (Sunday). Why don’t we hear Him? I think it’s for the same reason we seem to ignore our parents and that is, we think we have it all together. I would venture on saying that the most successful people in the world today are this way because they realize the power of opinion. Don’t believe me? Ever heard of a focus group? These groups were formed by the top companies to be able to get a gauge on what the popular opinion of their product or service is. You still think they have it wrong? I’m sure if this message applies to you then you probably will. Now most don’t know but a focus group was formed many thousands of years ago and it was written out in a book we call the Bible. Many different people wrote down their opinion and experiences and left them for us to enjoy. Never saw the bible like this, huh? SO what's the moral of the story today? It’s simple. In scripture we notice how all that listened to His message were blessed, but all that discarded it were cursed. Do we really want to follow the same mistake of the accursed? I don’t think so! It’s time to rewrite our history and begin to learn from these life experiences left for our growth and development. Can you imagine if David gave up after He committed adultery? Can you imagine if Joshua gave up because of the walls of Jericho? Can you imagine if Jesus gave up because a friend betrayed Him? Neither could I. Let’s stop rejecting His message and let's follow the example of the great patriarchs we see in scripture, its guaranteed success!

Amped up about His message!
