Day 359 – Top of the world
Having a Heart in a Sometimes Heartless World
Having a Heart in a Sometimes Heartless World
Scripture focus: For who do you know that really knows you, knows your heart? And even if they did, is there anything they would discover in you that you could take credit for? Isn't everything you have and everything you are sheer gifts from God? So what's the point of all this comparing and competing? You already have all you need. You already have more access to God than you can handle. Without bringing either Apollos or me into it, you're sitting on top of the world—at least God's world—and we're right there, sitting alongside you! 1 Corinthians 4:7-8
One of the beautiful gifts we receive when we stop comparing and competing is the gift of gratitude.
When we aren’t compelled to try to squeak out credit and congratulations for ourselves, we’re free to appreciate and acknowledge the true giver of all good gifts.
We already have all we need.
We already have more access to God than we can handle.
We’re sitting on top of the world – at least God’s world -
What great news for those of us currently living in uneasy economic times! I pray that we will grow in our appreciation for such unmerited favor and gracious provision. We sit on top of the world. Amen!
