8.30.18 – “Vance Havner said, “If you love His
appearing you are not in love with this present world.” Have we set our sights
higher than this old world? The love of the world and the love of the Father
simply cannot coexist in the same heart! Paul wrote about a member of his
missions team that left, “…having loved this present world.” It makes a great
difference whether we love this age or the one to come. Remember friend, your
heart is wherever your treasure is! We must keep a loose grip on this world and
its possessions. If God chooses He can pry our hands off the things of this
world that we hold dear but it’s gonna hurt if He has to!” S. E. Trail
My
prayer for you today is a heart that longs for it’s true home!
Matthew
6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he
will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. KJV
“J. Edwin Orr, a professor of Church history has described the great
outpouring of the Holy Spirit during the Welsh Revivals of the nineteenth
century. As people sought to be filled with the Spirit, they did all they could
to confess their wrong doing and to make restitution. But it unexpectedly
created serious problems for the shipyards along the coast of Wales. Over the years
workers had stolen all kinds of things, from wheelbarrows to hammers. However,
as people sought to be right with God they started to return what they had
taken, with the result that soon the shipyards of Wales were overwhelmed with
returned property. There were such huge piles of returned tools that several of
the yards put up signs that read, "If you have been led by God to return
what you have stolen, Please know that the management Forgives you and wishes
you to keep what you have taken."
