BE RESPONSIBLE!

"Tell those who are rich not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which will soon be gone, but their pride and trust should be in the living God who always richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them."  (1 Tim 6:17-18 TLB)  

Those who have much have a great responsibility to be responsible and accountable to God.  What is done with the riches is of far greater and lasting value than the riches themselves.

LEAD US ON!

"Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.  If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.  (Ps 139:7-12 NIV) 

There is no place beyond God's reach!  No matter how high or how low; whether concealed or revealed,  God's hand is there guiding us.  Somebody needs to know today, there is a way out; a way up; a way through; a way back; a way around; a way in!  God not only has a way, He in fact, IS THE WAY!  Therefore our daily prayer remains; Precious Lord, take our hands and lead us on!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your guiding hand.  Amen!
