Seeking God, not THINGS!

We live in a day and age where MATERIAL and FANCIAL gain is at the top of most people lists. The problem with the statement above is that the things own us and not us the things. At the end of the day is just a worldly item and of no eternal value. Is it wrong to have nice stuff in our homes. No. It only becomes a problem when we become obsessed with gain and our lives are turning into a carnal who's who of society.

Get back to basics. If you feel something is owning you rather than you it, ask God for wisdom on what to do with it. Sell it, bless someone with it and break the Power it has over you!!

Blessings to all!

But when you're not doing what you know God has truly called you to do, the love of people and material things won't satisfy you. 'Ordained' people are not just those in pulpits! Hannah was ordained to be a mother. You may be ordained to be a secretary, a landscape gardener or a teacher. Find whatever God's called you to do, and do it! Finally, Hannah's desperation led her to her destiny: 'The Lord... closed her womb.' Why? To get Hannah's attention, to draw her closer to Himself. Hard times cause us to re-examine our lives and seek God as never before. Our emphasis changes from 'Lord, here's what I want' to 'Lord, what do You
