Whatch'a Thinkin'?

The person who courts sin marries trouble;

    build a wall, invite a burglar.- The Message

Imagine if you will playing with sin, thinking that there is a line and a boundary that we can get right up next to, just  this side of righteous living.  In this scenario, we dance ever closer to this proverbial ” line” without crossing it. I would offer that as we dance closer and closer to what we know to be wrong….we have already sinned in our heart. WE have courted the danger and entertained vain imaginings of what the other side of THE LINE looks like. Our Proverb promises us that when we court sin, we will marry trouble.  We will be bound to the effects of our decisions.  The wages of sin are death, a separation from the heart of the Father.   Court sin and you invite a marriage with trouble.

We are called to live a humble, simple life that is rich beyond compare .  This richness doesn't come from our personal belongings, it's foundation is found in our personal relationship with our Savior. When we put too much focus and importance on personal wealth, building walls around it to protect that which we have acquired…we draw attention.  We loose that stance of humility as we exalt belongings. With fists closed around the materialistic, we can not receive the ever flowing blessings from heaven.  We build walls to protect and keep out.  The walls meant to protect catch the burglars eye.  “What are they hiding?” “What's behind those walls?”

Today we look at a life that stays grounded in humility and righteousness.  The benefits of such Iiving are, too me, are  the benefits of simplicity.  A simple life, with a simple family, grounded in love and service where we all serve the Lord----->and find that we are rich beyond compare.
