Word for Today, Mon, 16 May 2005: Experiencing God's Best
Posted by: masinick <masinick@...>
Dear friends,
At the end of last week, I asked these questions:
Two good questions to ask are:
What is God's call?
Where is God leading me today?
It's interesting that Charles Stanley wrote a message that deals
with some of the same questions and related issues. Here is a
recent devotional message I received from him by Email. The In
Touch devotional series is offered on the Web or by Email through
crosswalk.com. check their site for details.
Yours in Christ,
Brian

Experiencing God's Best
Luke 12:32
Everything we do in life requires a decision. Some have said that
even when we refuse to make a decision, we have decided what we
will or will not do. The same is true when it comes to
experiencing God's best for our lives.
Jesus taught us that it was God's good pleasure to give us the
kingdom of God. This means that all we could ever hope or want is
ours to enjoy. Of course, there are guidelines to be followed.
For example, God will never give us things that lead to
self-indulgence and greed. On the other hand, there are many
Christians living in spiritual poverty because they have never
learned to enjoy the goodness of God's blessing.
This in no way solely focuses on financial wealth, though God may
choose to bless many in this area. Nor does it mean that we
should feel guilty when God does bless us in some area of
material value. God's blessings are not limited to any one
category. They are endless, and it is our responsibility to enjoy
them when they come.
Therefore, instead of denying the gifts He sends your way, ask
the Lord to help you correctly handle them so that He will be
glorified in your life. Jesus taught us that God gives good
things to His children. Therefore, never refuse His gifts when
they come because each one is wrapped in eternal love for you.
