Allow God To Lift You Up

November 18, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever compared yourself to a butterfly in the wind or are you a more like that hard shelled bug that flies in the air? There is alot of wisdom in this comparison because the next time you are driving your car watch what happens to the butterfly who often does not take the direct hit of the car. They often miss the moving object because God’s hand picks them up in the wind and sets them down before the fall.

 On the other hand though the bugs that take the direct hit are often the ones that are flying so hard that they never see what is coming. Is this your life? Are you flying so hard that you feel as if you are being hit by a car everyday that you go out? Are you struggling to keep yourself in the air while blows just seem to be coming out of no where? Maybe this is because you have forgotten how to fly and you are trying to do it on your own.

 The object in learning how to fly is also learning how to land. We all have obstacles and have to face turbulence from time to time but all that matters is that we allow God to raise us up and set us down. Examine your heart for the gentleness and compassion of God as well as the strength to stand strong in the winds ahead. Because when we learn to fly with God He will give us the navigation to bring us home…

Recognize Satan’s Temptations (w/ Chevy & Christy)

November 9, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is alot of wisdom when you compare yourself to a car. Yesterday we discussed the importance of knowing the type of fuel that is carrying us forward. For instance, have you really thought about what fuels your car? Is it the love that you carry in your heart in serving others or is it with no consideration of the people on the road due to your own selfish gain? Do you travel the road as if you own it or are you considerate of others that may be in your way? Did you ever think that God allowed that person to pull out in front of you to possibly teach you a lesson in the fruit of the spirit?  

  Think about it…Which do you enjoy more,  the time in the car with the family as Clark Griswald did in National Lampoon’s Vacation or the time in the two seated car with Christy Brinkley? Do you recall how Chevy Chase tried to keep up with that little red sports car and how she caused him to have a disturbance in his family? 

 In this movie series with Chevy Chase we can learn a biblical message of how spiritually Satan will use others as he did with Christy Brinkley to divide our families and cause us to try to keep up with what the world has to offer. We are all tested spiritually daily by Satan to see if he can throw us off course. These trials are there to help build our faith.

  Are you unhappy with your car because it is not flashy enough or because it doesn’t have that power under the hood? Maybe we need to examine the fuel to insure what is driving us forward.

 Watch this brief Youtube clip on temptation to recall the movie.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQc8vRfld8Q&feature=related

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
