Winter is still with us. I'm wishing and waiting for warmth.......Spring. I know it's just around the corner, it has to be, March is just a few days away. Hurry, please.
Yesterday's Upperroom verse was underlined in my Bible. As I read it, I just smiled because it was familiar and so welcoming to read again. Jesus didn't die for a few of us, a small chosen group, He died for all. It continues, we should now live for Him. And in doing so, should we live for ourselves? Let's see, He died for all, maybe we should now be living for all, instead of just ourselves. It makes sense to me, anyway.
I was looking for some fiscal wisdom and guidance in today's reading, as I need to finish up our taxes. Well, what's the topic in the Upperroom today? The daily reading took me right back to the same idea. Today's verse in Galations 3 states, "you are all one in Christ Jesus". Well, I have to pass that along because I don't ignore things when they appear to me more than once.
I think God, through Jesus, made the rules for Christian living so simple. When our needs are met, we are then to consider the needs of those around us. I'm afraid that society doesn't appreciate that concept. The rules of successful living in America admire and elevate those who are materially wealthy and flaunt it. The many Christians and others who live simply and consider their neighbors are all but lost in society's limelight.
I'm as guilty as the next when it comes to selfishness and self centeredness, but I'm trying, that's all any of us can do. Well, I'll get back to my taxes and try to keep warm today and pray for Spring to come soon. You have a great day, today, and stay safe and warm, luv, Susan
