WHITTAKER WISDOM

Rev. David Whittaker, Washington

How strongly do we want the Peace and Blessing of God?

In today’s society, including the Christian world, I am not totally convinced that we are real serious about this question.

I watch closely the world around me.  I watch and listen closely to words that I hear from the mouths of those around me, Christians included, and I quickly discover that we, most often by choice, have placed such a limit on God,  have placed conditions on God,  that we are not certain just what part He plays in our lives.

I see the church settling in on the Modern trend of worship, appearance, etc, and it makes it difficult to know just where we are with God.

The Lord wants full reign in our lives. That's why He sacrificed so much that we could have the opportunity we have to know the fullness of joy and the victory today.   When everything is going just great, we are willing to acknowledge God and His power, and we then are willing to give Him the room to be supreme in our lives, but, when things don't go quite like we want them to, we blame God for the problem, and we tend to back away, far enough, that He doesn't have any real importance in our lives anymore. If God can be turned on and off like a water faucet, then our worship and our spiritual lives are empty.

God must have full part in our lives, and then, and only then, can, and will, we have the Peace and Blessing in our lives.

God bless you, family of God.

Love,

Rev Dave
