In my study this morning I came across this scripture, it is very inspiring to me.
"Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and you are Christ's and Christ is God's."
I am feeling rich today.
I Corinthians 3:21-23
Rich much?
Leaving the PAST BEHIND
It was said of the "man who dwelled among the tombs" that he was always, night and day in the mountains and in the tombs crying and cutting himself with stones.
When Jesus appeared the man came running to Him and he began to worship Him.
The word, "tomb" in this scripture refers to: a monument or memorial, to perpetuate the memory of any person or thing.
Mark 5:15 (NIV) - When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
"Our BELIEFS influence our ATTITUDES which in turn influence our BEHAVIORS."
This man who made his home among the tombs, BELIEVED that Jesus Christ WAS THE ANSWER to his problems. His ATTITUDE then became one filled with worship. He began to BEHAVE differently after spending time in the presence of an Almighty God.
It is important that we realize that what we believe is the foundation for everything else in our lives. It will determine where we spend eternity. It will determine what we do with our time each day as we wait for Christ's return.
Let's not dwell in past hurts. It is time for us to stop living in self-pity.
See that Jesus is with you right now - it's time for us to let Him handle our problems.
If we believe that He WAS and IS and IS TO COME - it will make all the difference in our day to day faith journey with Christ.
