If we love God so much and we are such children of God then why are we so greedy? Why is it always about what we want and our plans and how we look and seem to others?

Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

Luke 12:15

Don't feed the greed y'all, everything on the earth has a shelf life.

We all have those moments when we excuse sin.

It goes somewhat like this

step 1: We know something is wrong

step 2: We want to continue in our ways

step 3: We justify the sin so we don't feel so bad and we proceed

step 4: We acknowledge we were wrong and repent.

or do we stop at step 3?

Sin cannot be explained away, excused or tolerated.

We will mess up but we don't practice accidents. When we do mess up God will forgive us but we continue to strive for what is good, what is pure and what is God's way.

Is fasting really necessary? Or is it just some religious activity for people in the old days?

Mark 9:29 - shows us that there are some things that can only change with fasting.

Read your bible, pray and fast.

It changes things. Fasting has been a part of saving nations, delivering people, making hard decisions and so much more.

Let's look into this practice.

It's easy to say all the nice things about someone, slap a ❤ emoji beside it and call it a day. But what about love that operates in action and in truth. Love that Listens, gives, notices, not afraid to speak the truth to someone for their own good.

Most people has a mouth that can speak flattering words. Let us love with our hands, feet, time, money, space. Let us love in action and In truth.

1 John 3:18

Figures, numbers, statistics. All amazing measurements that help us keep track of things and show progress. In God's kingdom, however, keep your eyes on God, not on how many people you have to help or how much money you have. We have one God and he is more powerful than any number.

We have the answer. We know the God of this universe and much more than that he knows us. But sometimes we don't share about him. Let's look at some reasons why we don't and how we can fix that with God's help. Remember we need God and we need people. and people need us.

If God isn't your everything you will soon find out. He is the only thing worth being our everything because everything else will one day be gone.

Psalm 73:25 - This is the aim. To truly believe and live these words.

Sometimes God says some stuff that to us seem a bit contradictory or we just can't understand, it seems almost upside down. it seems it the opposite of how it's supposed to be but it's actually the right side up.

Sometimes the situations we are in are really blurry, difficult and less than ideal, but God will be glorified in those situations. Hold on, he has you there for a reason, he will use you and he will keep you. Let's take a deeper dive into Daniel chapter 1-2 and see how it worked out for Daniel, an exiled young man who interpreted dreams for the Babylonian king.

Let's not babel about ourselves. Let's work for the worthy one.
