September 19 Devotion

This morning we are going to be short and to the point. I hope as you read it, you understand what I’m trying to say. So please stay with me, as I stumble through my words.

This world is one where physical appearance can dictate how people are treated. We live in a world where social status also can dictate how people are treated. Financial status. And others. All dictating how people are treated. It’s a world where the number of followers you have on social media can dictate how much money you can make off of your posts. Your tweets. Etc. Think about this for a minute as well. Landscaping and other decorative items draw your eyes to peoples homes. Please don’t think that I am saying that physical appearance is not important. Don’t think that I am saying that landscaping and other ways of dressing up your home is bad. Not at all. What I am saying is that this world is so caught up in appearance, we can forget easily what is important.

What we want to do is to make sure that we worry more about what we are doing on the inside of ourselves and than we are doing on the outside. We want to make sure that we are working on our connection with our Lord and Savior. That our hearts are in the right place. If we do this, our focus will be in the right place. And then God will be able to use us in ways we will never be able to imagine. Social levels won’t matter. Physical appearance won’t matter. Financial status won’t matter. None of this will matter if we have God as our focus. Because then he can use whatever he has blessed us with to better serve him. That is what we’re trying to get to here. That’s the point. To build on the inside. To let God heal us on the inside.
