Young People Listen

GM family. Hanging out with Lil Chris this morning. He's a busy body. Thanking God for family, friends, life, grace and mercy. The good news about the word of God is that we can depend on what is written. When the money, fame and status fails us, steals our joy and confidence He's there to pick us up. I'm praying for our young adults this morning, praying that they receive an understanding of what prosperity really means, an understanding of what true leadership looks like. I pray that they avoid thriving on the false confidence money and status offer. I pray they recognize and use their God given talents for His glory, understanding what God gives can be taken away in the blink of an eye. I pray that we all avoid judging those who fall from grace. Let us send up prayers on their behalf. Remembering that it could have been one of us in the hot seat, it could be one of us people are mourning. This life, this day is a gift. We don't deserve it, didn't do anything to earn it. God has so graciously given us a little more time to ask for forgiveness, to change who we are and to use what He's blessed us with for His glory. There is nothing like being in His presence, there's nothing like the feeling you have when you honor Him by doing the right thing. Mercy. Wake up family. Amen. 1 Kings 21 vs 1-28, Acts 12 vs 9-12.
