- The Ten Commandments (2) -
Only One Conductor
-
Does "Mr. Want" live at your
house? "Mr. Want" is not a very good house guest. God
prefers that you invite "Mr. Need" into your home.
A desire to possess things can cause you trouble. Ask God to
show you if you are putting the things in the world before Him.
God wants to be your One and Only Conductor. He wants you to
let Him be your guide, leader, master and provider.
There are many ways we might make things
more important to us than God. Our 'wanter' or our "will"
gets in our way. When we want to have things more than we want
to serve God we cannot please God. He is a jealous God. He won't
take second place in our hearts. He has told us that if we seek
Him first, He will take care of 'Mr. Need'. He wants our will
to line up with His will for us.
Blessed are You!
- "Blessed are those whose
hearts are pure in heart,
- for they
will see God."
- Matthew 5:8
-
- A pure heart is a heart that is turned
to God. If we are not looking at Jesus, we cannot see God. Being
pure in our heart means that we see like with the eyes of God.
We hear what He is telling us without trying to please our will.
A pure heart loves what God loves! God loves all people and wants
them to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Jesus says we will
be blessed if we care about God's will more than our own. When
we love God and others with a pure heart, God will show Himself
to us in many ways!
The Critters are practicing before the
Kid Cave Forest Spring Festival. Liam Leapfrog is the Conductor.
He is the leader of the band! He is the one who shows the band
the right way to play the music. The Critters will watch their
conductor. The Critters are learning how to watch closely and
follow their leader. The music they play at the Festival will
sound sweet to all the creatures in the forest.
We need to know the Leader of our band,
watch Him working in our lives and follow His directions. Jesus
is our only Conductor! His Holy Spirit shows us how to live sweetly
and acceptable before God!
