Whaz u----------p?

           No doubt a majority of you watched the Superbowl game, at least for awhile.  Some were watching it for the game; others were watching it for the commercials.  I must admit that there was quite a variety of commercials.  One of the most intriguing commercials was exploring the different ways that a person can say, “Whaz u---------p?”

          God uses many different ways to ask us, “Whaz u--------p?”  He uses his Spirit, his Word, our conscience, and other people.  Matthew 6:8 states that your Father knows what you need before you ask him.  Despite the knowledge that He has, God still wants us to come to Him in prayer about every aspect of our lives.  God is concerned with what’s up in our lives, and He wants to have fellowship with us.  He is concerned about us in a very personal way.  From now on, every time you see those commercials, remember that God is also asking you the same question.

Blessings to all,
