Get what God has for us...
Today, I had a lot of time to kill and so I decided to go on the web and house hunt for properties that were out of my league - In the millions. For most who are reading this message it is unthinkable to believe that you will ever be anywhere other than on the east, west, south or north sides of town; just driving the same streets back and forth to work and home each and everyday. When you think about that, its debilitating. To own a home with enough space for you and your family to live comfortably in should be able to be obtained, am I right? It is even better to have a home that when your parents age and need care, you can have a room for them in your home, instead of placing them in the care of a nursing facility where they are being mistreated, or to have a room for your grandchildren to come over and play; because lets face it, many of us are now getting to that age where we either have or will have grandchildren soon.
Isn't it God's command that we have a inheritance for not only our children but our children's children? Many don't have a pot to piss in or a window to through it out, let alone leave an inheritance; yet God said that we should, and if he said that we should, then that means that we can, right? So my question is why are we not living to our potential?
Sad to say... People barely have enough to survive from week-to-week, therefore, being able to leave anything to our descendants is out of the question and that is a travesty against the Lord and His will for our lives.
Father, I ask that you enable to not only be a hearer, but also a doer of your word; not just in prosperity but in all the ways that you have instructed me to live my life as well as my family's' lives. Lord the kind of life that I seek can only come through you.
