Own It

Possession is nine-tenth of the law?  ​Well, maybe in the childhood game "hot potato!"  When Mr. Bill need his power drill and it's not in his cabinet, law-or-no-law, he's huntin' it down.  When my dust pan isn't in its rightful place ... well, it's probably Mr. Bill huntin' that down too!​

 

​Do you truly possess what you spiritually claim? We sing the great hymns of the faith​ with deeply ​rooted doctrine, but do we embrace ​those same truths for living? Psalm 1 is described as a "gateway" to the entire Book of Psalms, emphasizing that ​God's words are to be evident in the Christian's life.  When I ​hear a famous person endorsing a product, I often wonder if he's used the product, experienced the results he's claiming.  Biblical Truth is amazing in many ways, but truly amazing when it's put into practice!  ​​Have you even known anyone who just flourished, even in the heat of life?  Difficulties seem to stick to them like a shadow, but they never wilt; the bounce stays in their steps, their smile never fades, and their never complain.  That's the one who has embraced (applied) God's words: "He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all he does, he prospers." (Psalm 1:3-4).  This isn't about worldly prosperity (wealth), rather, it's about what matters most -- a Spirit-filled life based on Godly truths.  These are the people I want to spend time with; they smell good, having the aroma of Christ! Christians are to be these kind of people!  Pray for grace to embrace God's Truth as a way of life ... own it today!
