Both of my parents claim that Jesus Christ is the only God to live for and that we should be committed to Him 100%! If you lost your only daughter, youth and pristine health would you still say that?
At the heart of King Saul's revenge, bitterness and anger (spiritually depraved condition) was foolish, close friends, a strange spirit to oppress him (due to his rejecting the Lord's authority) and the fact that something that was valuable to him was lost ...or taken away. His position of power m
eant more to him than righteousness. He lived for the applause of the masses, but they were singing love songs to Dave?
Have you lost something? Has something been taken away from you—a dream, possessions, a precious relationship, a career, a ministry? I was going to marry this one girl named Tr
acy, but she bailed on me for more money from her dad who wanted me out of the picture (praise God for that).
I was all ready to go be a missionary after 12 years of preparation, but all my support fell through due to high-profile TV evangelist scandals. Liney and I were paid real well working in
and pastoring in an another 11,000 member Dallas mega-church, but then I taught that no real Christian could have a demon inside him and we were fired 'cause other believed otherwise. Have you ever been ousted for telling the truth or due to cruel, political nepotism? Do you ask: How could a God who
loves me allow this to happen? How could He take something away so dear to me? Was it some of my own foolish choices that brought back my lonely singleness, or this cancer, or this poverty? Hey, we all sin though we try our best to avoid it. Jesus can forgive you. Was it due to my sin that removed
it, whatever it was? Let me ask you: Do you love God only for what He can give you—you know.. the blessings?
Trials come to test, will you pass the exam? God wants to know the answer to that question? Who or what do you live for? What's your idol that you prioritize ahead of Christ? Then why are
n't you regular in a decent Christ-honoring-church? What's your master-passion in life? Only Jesus can fill the empty void in your heart. Live for the Blesser rather than for His blessings! Are you like Saul or like David who lost a whole lot while on the run from that religious murderer of a leader
? Will you backslide after the painful loss of something or someone you love? Can you say like Job: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD" (Job 1:21). Give and take away... that's what life see
ms to be like sometimes. Go on with -- move forward with -- in close fellowship with Christ ..and with spiritual Christians as friends in connection with a healthy Bible teaching, soul-winning church that is led by a pastor with the right doctrine and a right spirit -- who practices what he preaches
! Keep your eyes on Jesus, not the hypocrites or the stuff you lost. Turn from your idols and repent. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness! --Kurt von Schleicher
