One Thing Needful


Putting God first is not always going to be the easiest way, but it is the
only way that we can grow into the fullness of Christ. When we seek the kingdom
of God first, we will find it. We are promised the goodness and mercy that
follows and satisfies our every need.
We can let nothing separate us from our love of God, just as He has
promised to let nothing separate us from His love for us.
The rich young ruler had everything except the one thing needful. He let
his love of riches separate him from his love of God. Martha let her fussing
over the meal preparations make her miss out on feasting on Jesus.
When our relationship with God is right and He is sitting on the throne of
our hearts, everything else is going to fall into line. We will have the
supernatural strength and power of the Holy Spirit to persevere through every
pressure and move every mountain of doubt and discouragement that comes our way.
God does not want just part of us. Until we learn to let go of our
unforgiveness, love of money, pleasure, pride, anger, envy and self; we will
never experience the fullness of joy and the all surpassing peace given to a
mind and heart fully committed to Him.
Every day is a good day to examine our hearts and motives and to get rid of
the trash of sins that separate through daily confession and repentance. Our
free will allows us to choose whether to receive eternal life in Christ when He
comes knocking, or to remain in bondage to the things that we put on the throne
of our hearts reserved for God alone.
Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit help me to freely choose to
surrender to your Lordship in every area my life. In Jesus's name, Amen.
"I'm asking God for one thing, only one thing: To live with him in his house my
whole life long.I'll contemplate his beauty; 'll study at his feet.
Psalm 27:4 MSG

Today's Story
Joy Through Generosity
by CeeCi Giardino

Something happened Monday which put me into a bit of an emotional tailspin.
Right now, I'm not ready to write about it. I don't want to give it any more
time or thought than I already have. In a few days perhaps, but not right now.
Monday is the day I set aside to accomplish my errands. I rush around town,
going to the bank, the post office, and the grocery store. This past Monday, I
added a couple of extra stops to my list. When I left the house, I was not in
the best frame of mind. I was introspective and dwelling, okay, I was pissed and
ruminating. Oh and distracted.
My first stop was the bank. The tellers there are friendly and we've enjoyed
many good interactions over the years. It's funny how other people see you and
recognize when you don't seem to be your normal self. The teller asked me if I
was alright, I assured her I was then went on my way.
I drove to the post office to drop off my mail in a curbside box. The man in
front of me really ticked me off and I found myself saying some rather unkind
things to him about his driving skills, the car he was in and his intelligence.
Yep, I was being quite the ray of sunshine.
Next I headed to the gym. That's right, the gym. I've been feeling rather lumpy
and my energy level has been waning to say the least. I stopped working out
regularly about six months ago and I'm very sorry I did. I decided it was time
to get my butt back in gear.
It's the young man who helped me enroll who is prompting me to write. He was
courteous, in the way a salesman is trained to be. He asked me my reasons for
joining and seemed surprised when I told him I wanted to re-gain my strength and
energy. We discussed my options and I startled him again when he asked if I
wanted to be measured and weighed so I could check my progress. I declined,
weight loss is not my motivation, I explained.
As we talked, we both began to relax. I learned he was a musician. He'd moved to
the area from 90 miles north recently in search of a place to land to `take a
break.' He was a high school teacher. I didn't ask for any details, his demeanor
was telling me he was here as part of a healing process.
We continued talking about music. He told me he's writing and recording his own
music. "I'm classically trained, but I'm doing a folk/alternative kinda' thing."
I asked him to elaborate. After listening to him for a bit we began talking
about music we like. We share a love for AfroCelts and agreed, popular music
went south in the late 90's. I asked him if he'd heard of Alexi Murdoch (the
artist I featured on Monday). He hadn't.
I began explaining who Alexi Murdoch is and why I like his music so much. I
could tell it was as interesting as listening to the plot of someone's dream is
to me, he had no frame of reference. Then an idea hit me…give him the CD! It was
in my car. I'd been listening to it as I was running around town.
"I have his CD in my car," I told him. "Would you like to have it?"
He looked at me like he hadn't heard me correctly. "You want to give me your
CD?" he asked.
I assured him I did. I've copied it onto my computer, I can easily burn another
one. I really wanted him to hear this wonderful musician.
We finished the registration process and then he walked to my car with me. I
popped the CD out of the player and slipped it into the case and handed it to
him. I told him the first song made me cry the very first time I'd listened to
it. He was nearly speechless as he examined the tri-fold paper case.
"This is what I'd like my first CD to look like. Simple, clean, look he's
included the lyrics. Thanks, wow, thanks so much!" he said.
I told him it was my pleasure and I hoped he'd enjoy it as much as I did.
Driving away, my mood did a complete shift. I went from fretful and rather
morose to feeling light and bountiful. I'd just given someone I'd never laid
eyes on until 30 minutes before something I really enjoyed and I did it for no
reason other than I wanted to!
When I came home from the rest of my errands there was a message waiting for me
on my machine from him. He told me he'd only had a chance to listen to the first
song and like me, it had brought tears to his eyes. He went on to say he was
anticipating listening to the rest of it. Then he thanked me again and said he'd
see me when I go to the gym.
Thinking about what transpired between us, I realized something…we both received
a gift on Monday. He got some new music to listen to and perhaps be inspired by.
I was shown how profoundly a simple gesture can affect me..I found joy through
generosity.

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
By: Vonette Bright

"Let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds
and praise your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16)


Missionaries Heather Mercer and Dayna Curry were imprisoned for showing
the JESUS film in Afghanistan. They spent three months in a harsh
Taliban prison cell with a makeshift toilet and no shower.

But despite their circumstances, Heather and Dayna faithfully sang and
worshipped God every night.

After many nights of hearing their praises, a Taliban guard stationed
outside their prison cell gave his life to Christ. The guard said, "I
decided that any God who would cause His children to worship Him in
such a place must be real."

Jesus said, "Let your light shine before others that they may see your
good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

Friend, whatever your daily circumstances, remember that others are
watching you. Allow God's light to shine through you every day.

Your life CAN make a difference!
