Psalm 113: 5-8
Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people.
Some of the most successful people came from nothing. We hear stories all the time how people had nothing and through hard work they were able to make something of themselves. What does God say about this? The scripture shows us that God raises up people of low position in the worlds eyes, to sit with people of high position. God will use the humble and the weak to make His name be higher.
God sees and knows everything around us. God sees through the heart of man. He sees through all the materialistic wealth we consider valuable. What does the Bible say about what God values?
God values people and how you spend your time and money on things. He wants us to use our time and money wisely. We don’t think about ways we can help others all the time. God tells us in scripture how to use our time and money. The Bible says not to store up treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust don’t destroy, and where thieves don't break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Find ways to let go of some things so you can be a blessing to someone today. It’s easy in our society to think about self and not think about how we can help someone else for a change. Find someone you know that has a need today and let God allow you to be used for His glory. Your faithfulness could be the one thing that person needs to receive Christ today.
Amen!
