ME-MAW THOUGHTS/ NUMBER 34/ AUGUST 30, 2011
When I was growing up, one of the things I was totally sure of was that my parents loved me. It did not matter that they could not give me a lot of this earths goods, or that we did not live in a fancy house, or that I was not dressed in the finest clothes. I knew that I was loved.
The other thing that I was totally sure of as I was growing up was that Jesus was the ingredient that made life what it should be. Just like a lot of kids, as I was growing up, I thought my parents were perfect. However, as I became an adult, I began to realize that they were not perfect, but they knew how to keep the main thing, the main thing,
It seems in this present day that a lot of parents have forgotten to keep the main thing, the main thing. Relationships, both with our families, with others, and most of all with God, are the driving factor of joy.
I learned early in parenting that there are no perfect parents, but I learned to pray that God would make up the difference. As I reflect back, I am sure that my parents prayed the same thing. God honored that prayer for my children and made up the difference when we failed.
I hurt for today’s parents and children who seem to be looking to society for the answers. Parents are trying to pay bills and be successful in the world’s eyes and children are trying to fit in and find love.
In football when it is 4th down the team most of the time decides to punt. Sometimes in life we need to just step back and punt. Just as in football this does not mean that we have lost the game, but it means we need to take a look at how we are doing things. If we are continually being frustrated in our lives and what we are doing, it may be time to step back and take a look at how we are living life.
Matthew 6:33
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you “
If we believe Jesus is Lord and God is who He says He is, then we should be living life accordingly.
What is your motivation in life? I hurt for good people, loving parents, who are so busy trying to make things work that they have no time to spend on relationships. What a tragedy that our minds have so been affected by the world systems that we do not understand, the Creator God, Master of all that is, just wants a close relationship with His creations. The one who spoke it all into existence can surely provide the right jobs, careers, ministries for us if we will seek Him first.
Where a lot of the people who call themselves Christian live, is with SLOPPY CHRISTIANITY.
The Creator God gave the very best when He sent Jesus. Jesus gave all that He had when He died on the cross, took the keys of death, hell, and the grave from satan.
Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom to us and for the most part they sit not used. Should we not, as children of Almighty God, be bringing the kingdom of God to everything we touch? We live so below what God intends, and He is just waiting for us to say Yes, Lord, I put you first. I will pursue you. I will let you help me in all I do. I will let you help me with my job, my career, my parenting, and I will seek you first.
There are some fundamental rules for putting God first.
a) Pray daily and consistently // Have a time when you are totally focused on how you are praying. Your alone time with God. And then keep a prayer on your heart at all times. God wants to be a part of your entire day.
b) Read & Study the Word // To not know the word is like trying to fly an airplane without reading any instructions. Ask God to show you truth from His word and have a plan of study.
c) Find a good bible believing church and get into it. Be a part of a local body of believers.

Father, what a joy it is to have an ongoing relationship with you, through your son Jesus. My desire is that everyone I meet knows the peace and joy a relationship with you can bring. You desire that, and it is in our hands to choose the way of true living. I so desire to fulfill my destiny, and I give my life to you fresh and anew this day and know that you will lead and guide me in everything. Perfect that which concerns all who read this and Bless them abundantly. In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. A-men
Please keep the main thing, the main thing.
Love, Me-Maw
