Galatians 6, Ephesians 1-2

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!

Just a few things to point out today.  But I want you to think about them.  I would love to hear your comments.  Sometimes we get into such a hurry (including me) that I don't stop to ponder, meditate and ask God questions. But that's how we learn!

Gal 6:7-8 says that what we sow to the flesh we will reap to the flesh.  This is a farming "DUH" but do we really consider this when we are living our lives?  Really?  If you want apples you PLANT apples seeds.  Duh.  What are you "planting" in your life?  What do you spend your time, thoughts, money on?  What do your actions show?  If you are doing the bible reading challenge then you are 'sowing' the word of God -  life giving, life changing words.  What about your music?  This is just a question for you.  What are you listening to?  I am not giving you religious rules I am just asking because there IS a law of sowing and reaping that is REAL.  Just like the law of gravity.  What are you sowing?

The end of Eph 1 talks about the authority and strength of Jesus and  what He did.  It says everything is under His feet.  EVERYTHING!  Sounds comforting.  Jesus has it all under control.  But keep reading.....Eph 2 says WE ARE SEATED WITH HIM in the heavenly place of rulership.  Do you "rule" in the areas God has placed you?  How do we rule?  It looks like in society that Christians aren't ruling anything.  It's like we keep getting walked on.  Christians are NOT the ones that are ruling - at least that is what it looks like to me.  So - how do we rule?  I say we start by agreeing with what the Bible says about us, we start asking God to equip us to be his partner in this world and we ask Him to give us a heart to even care.

YOU GUYS ROCK!
