In the bible it states that it is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God, because he depends on his riches and not God. Now if you are like me, I thought well I don't have to worry about that one, I'm not rich! Well having traveled overseas and now coming back to the U.S., I would dare say most all of us are rich to the point that we have all the comforts we need without having to pray for daily help.
Hmmm......how would your relationships be if you rarely communicated with the people you are supposedly in a relationship with? Can I have abundance and still have a close dependence on God? My observations and experience would say it is indeed hard and more difficult, because our daily needs are not dependent on a relationship with God.
Could it be that natural disasters in the last days would be to get people to turn to God, so that as many as possible would come to know him as their personal Savior before it was too late? Have you ever suffered a hardship or had a personal need that drew you closer to God as a result of it?
My prayer when returning to the U.S. is that I would not have to have lack, to appreciate my comforts. How about you? Are you thankful, appreciative and shinning bright to a hurting world, that is looking for answers?
Mark 9:50 puts it like this. "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another".
May we continue to grow in Christ as his disciples, sharing and loving each other as a testament to Christ's love in us.
