In our Beth Moore study of Daniel we read from James 3:13 that says..."Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom." This is in contrast to King Nebuchadnezzar who erected a 90 ft. statue of himself to be worshipped.
The challenge is to find out what we truly worship. Is it solely God or is there false images that we create to worship. Images of success, of physical prowess, of intellectual pursuits, of artistic talent, of being "spiritual".
The test is in how we live our life. Do we simply live a good life and humbly do good to others? That is a sign of a life that truly seeks God and has no selfish ambition for recognition. Let us choose the life of a servant. Let us remember that the last shall be first. The key is to have a heart that pursues God first and foremost. As Beth Moore said..."Mathew 6:33 tells us that if we give our entire lives to the pursuit of God, everything else of value will find us. "
Join me in this eternally worthy pursuit. And through our life in Christ, let good pour out of us!
Bless you as we pursue God's presence together, Kirk
