Wow! What a good Morning with the Church Family!

Day 84 - 84 days until we start on an adventure of a lifetime. This 70 day adventure has been overwhelming me some lately. All I could do to make this great, and all I want this to be for God. Wow that sounds out of perspective and was not keeping me in the place of Shalom. This morning I was reminded on the one hand that our struggle in life is about our inner nature with it's quest for autonomy and self-sufficiency. We want life to be about us. This time was ended in Sunday School with the thought that we are to submit to God and remember that 'God is God, and we are (I am) not!' Because God has worked in my life through the years I do not want the stuff I do to be about me. I want it to be about my life in God and not about me becoming god in my life. I want this adventure to be about God and I ask Him to keep it that way. But we battle in this life. After leaving Sunday School to go into a wonderful time of worship with the Church Family and dig into Leviticus once again. We take a close look at the voluntary 'Fellowship Offerings' in chapter 7. We examined the characteristics of a 'Beautiful Life'. (side frustrating note: I went to look at my notes from the message on my calendar description for today and they were gone. Some how I am deleting my notes and not sure how to always work this 'smartphone' :) (So from the uncompleted bulletin insert and my memory.) The beautiful life is full of #1. Spontaneous gratitude, #2. Uncompromising purity and #3.Lavish generosity. How do we live this kind of life? Focus on the God who is God and on His salvation Through His son Jesus Christ and the beautiful life will come gushing forth with Fellowship Offerings. I have committed my life to this and once again commit these next 84 days, the next 70 and beyond. Our Lord reigns and is good! Let us watch Him.
