Building in God #5 Staying Humble

Laura Grace
 
I want to share the following passage with you today:
“Better a dry crust with peace” than feasting with strife” Is a passage that has come to me over and over again. (Proverbs 17:1)
I want all God has for me and I do not wish to miss out on ANYTHING he has for me…..
 
However, I have (in the past) given up a table of love and humility to try and chase after prosperity and “all of God’s blessings” …..it’s not worth it.
If you gain the (whole world) and lose your soul-what have we gained? Nothing!
 
I am reminded of the song long ago by Casting Crowns, which had a huge impact me, when we managed a motel. We worked 70 hours a week and I had time for NO ONE …We prospered but our souls were eroded being so busy all the time…….
 
And to think I wanted to buy it. (silly me!)
 
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost getting that busy again, and I do not like it. There needs to be time for God time for rest, time for visiting those I love……..
 
Or what is the meaning of it all? This song is convicting …..and
very true (On the subject of Building on the rock)
Jesus said the Kingdom of God is like a pearl …..a man sold all he had to obtain it.  What price are we willing to pay? (or ot pay) to get God’s word into our hearts? 
                                              (Matthew 13:45-46)
Check out the song “American Dream” On the link below:

I was that "unpopular" wierdo kid, that didn't fit in anywhere, in High School. I guess I never knew my place in life, until Jesus took me in. I've been rejected, misunderstood, left out, bullied, abused, scandalized, and labeled. In 2002 I got on a bus and left a marraige of sixteen years, that was fraught with abuse and heartache. In school, I used to be so afraid to stand in front of the class and speak, my hands woud visibily shake, and I could not look at my audience without being terrified. Years later, I find myself leading a school music production, speaking in front of churches, and walking around with confidence, because I know the King of Kings is at my side. My ministry, prayers and blogs are directed toward those who feel like they were never enough. You never fit in. If I can help you in any way, if you need a special speaker to speak hope to the hurting, or if you would like a copy of my Testimony book (Grace to the Rescue) let me know. I am here for you. I also have a new book out "Confidence". With Love, Laura I can be reached at sisterzeal@yahoo.com
