Laws of Attraction

Who you are is who you attract. – J. Maxwell

The Three Mighty Men. The Thirty Chief Men. Though David was king of Israel, he was a warrior at heart and attracted other warriors. Simply Amazing!

Science teaches us that certain animals emit pheromones to attract or warn others of the same species. It’s a natural body function for sustaining the species. When it comes to our life and relationships the same chemistry applies. The people and the problems we attract are not determined by what we want, but by who we are. If we’re selfish, non-committal, and drifting, that’s who we’ll attract. If we’re honest, self-less, and God-fearing; that’s who we’ll attract. If we want to attract a better class, then we need to improve ourselves first. The good news is we don’t have to stay the way we are unless we feel we’re already perfect. God has granted us this day for changing.

Until tomorrow…

“Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children, and live a life of love……as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” – Ephesians 5:1,2

Living What You Believe

Your theology is who you are when the talking stops and the action starts. – C. Morris

While facing a death sentence Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego held fast to their God. In the fiery furnace their God held fast to them. Hmm!

There’s an old cliché that says: “when all is said and done, there’s a lot less done than said.” There’s a lot of truth to this in most lives. People are good at talking and making great and grand promises, claiming to have impeccable character or stout-hearted faith. But despite all we claim, our actual life actions will scream who we are so loud others really don’t have to listen to a word we say. The good thing is we serve a God who is patient and forgiving, however He will not always “hold His peace”. Remember, if you don’t live it you don’t believe it.

Until Monday…

“The man who says, ‘I know him,’ but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His word, God’s love is truly made complete in him.” – I John 2:4-5

More than Dreamers

To always dream of the person you’d like to be is a waste of the person you are. – Anon

The apostles had visions of being great leaders in a restored Jerusalem. Jesus wanted them to be servants in a coming kingdom. They finally got it!

Growing up we all had dreams of what we’d be, firemen, doctors, lawyers, president, etc. But these noble ideas never kept us from being the rambunctious kids that we were. When we feel we must be perfect before we can be of benefit to God’s kingdom we waste valuable time and miss the point. The person we want to be can only come into existence through the guidance and direction of the hand of God and He is working perfection out in us through the daily routines of life’s circumstances. Be careful in today’s decisions, God is at work building your character.

Until tomorrow…..

“Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:15-16
