It was a great Sabbath day, and I enjoyed relaxing, working on a few select projects, and chatting online with dear friends. I am contemplating my day, and am amazed at how God is moving so forcefully. In so many areas it seems He is building and breaking--building up faith in Him, breaking down faith in this world.
I have been reading the Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn. As I've pondered the blessing and joy of giving the last two days, I have an interesting conversation with my mom this afternoon--she thanks me! I asked, "For what?" She replied, "For blessing me, for letting God use you as the instrument of blessing." For the first time in a long time, there is a sense of peace, contentment and joy about her. What a blessing to me to have applied His resources to bless her! Truly, our resources are not our own. We may claim posession of our homes, our cars, and our things, but the reality is, they are God's--all of it. How different would we use our possessions, our resources, our time, if we always reminded ourselves that it is GOD's! Maybe that's an experiment I should try. Before I claim possession of anything--my money, my home, my time--I should always remind myself--this is GOD's. How would He use it?
