Rachel Jankovic: “If I was waiting for quiet time to read the Bible, I would maybe read a chapter every week and a half. That simply can’t sustain me.” https://t.co/gCMzFsaZjJ
DON’T WASTE YOUR WORSHIP
Romans 1 says people exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped created things rather than the Creator.
Think about that.
They didn’t stop worshiping. They just gave their worship to something else.
Most of us aren’t bowing down to statues today, but we can still do the exact same thing. Money. Success. Approval. Our career. Our body. Our relationships. Even our children.
And most of those things aren’t bad. That’s what makes it so easy to miss.
The problem starts when we ask a blessing to do the job of God.
We ask money to make us secure. Success to prove that we matter. Another person to make us whole. Approval to tell us whether we’re okay.
Eventually something God gave us as a gift starts sitting in a place that belongs to the Giver.
And you don’t even have to be a Christian to recognize what happens next…
Whatever you need in order to be okay eventually gains enormous power over you.
That’s why getting the thing so rarely ends the chase. Yesterday’s answered prayer becomes today’s normal life, and before long we’re looking for the next thing.
Build. Work. Make money. Love your family like crazy. Take care of your body. Enjoy the house. Celebrate the wins. Dream big.
Enjoy the gifts. Just don’t worship them.
Don’t spend your whole life staring at what God made and forget the One who made it.
Creation can be beautiful. Only the Creator is worthy of your worship.
Don’t waste it.
Our teams are working hard to clean up after yesterday’s @Arsenal parade – and what a day it was!
With over a million people attending, it’s a major clean-up. We’re getting through it as quickly as we can, so please bear with us while we get the borough back to its best ✨ (1/2)
People really have no idea what Mikel Arteta has done this season
We have faced the highest number of injuries in Europe (35)
Saka was out for half of the season
Odegaard was out for 3/4 of the season
Havertz was out for 3/4 of the season
Merino out for 4 months
Eze missed 2 months
Timber 3 months
Yet we still managed to win the League 7 points clear
Carabao Cup Finals
Champions League finals
Not even Pep can pull this off with this number or injuries for key players
