Yesterday I sat in a friends store and thought about the presence of God. I looked around and what caught my eye was the potato chip display. The potato chips display had all kinds of chips, thin ones, round ones, hot ones, mild ones and even puffy cheesy chips! There were hot and spicy and even plain, but the one that caught my eye was the chip that you are never able to eat just one. This is like your relationship with God, we go through life and taste the blessings of god but we allow ourselves to get wrapped up in all the flavors of the world’s outlook on religion. , Colossians, chapter 3 verses 1 and 2, in the Message reads, “^So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective. “

The world around us has a desire to always look at the various flavors of religion and the options available for their lives. They become fixed on the flavor and miss the reality of the reason for following God. We miss the act of worship and the heart of the Father because of All the outside influence. If as a follower of Jesus we are going to be all he wants us to be than we must be adsorbed with what he puts before us, His grace, His blessing, and His love. There are many that wear the name of Christ but still have not accepted the calling of Christ. When do we put down the options and run to the source, Jesus? ^So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

Where do our desires lay? What are our motivations? We as followers of Christ should be just that, a Follower of JESUS CHRIST and not a pawn in the game that the devil is trying to play in the church! God loves you and wants to bless you but the key is that you become willing to allow the blessing to flow in your life.

Peace out.

It is a great day to be shut up inside and watch the snow fall,life is good.
Snow is so pretty, clean,refreshing,new. Jesus is just the same, all new and sin free. How are we in that walk.do we live a life that is clean and refreshed from Jesus or are we a wreck from the ice storm of sin in our life?
When we are snow white and clean before the Lord than all is good, but sin creates problems wand separation from God. We must put our trust in the giver of life and our faith in him.remember…
1. A servant serves..not just lip service but a desire to see the Kingdom of God blessed.
2. A follower of Christ is committed to the Kingdom,not a shallow one day event but a lifelong journey.
3. A child of God is just that…adopted in the family of God never to be separated.
We are to part of the winning team…Gods team.
