Greetings,
Isn’t it interesting how we stand in awe of those who have gained impressive titles, fame, and fortune? We are so amazed by their accomplishments and forget they will soon fade away. But, Apostle Paul chose not to make that mistake.
2 Corinthians 5:16 (NKJV) – “Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.”
Those who seek to impress others add very little value to our world. However, a dedicated doctor, nurse, teacher, fireman, or police officer can do more good than a dozen ‘so-called’ celebrities who seek fame and fortune. A movie actor or singer can receive a higher salary for a single movie than an ‘essential worker’ will be paid in a lifetime. Sadly, people idolize celebrities and ignore those who are so much more deserving.
Why should we care or even talk about this? It’s because when we honor those who are worthy it makes society function more smoothly. But clearly, the One who should receive the highest honor and praise is our Lord. Think of what He does for us each and every day of our lives!
Thank You, Lord. I praise You because You have been good to me like no other. Every day Your blessings overflow in my life. Because of who You are, I enjoy favor, health, love, and kindness every day. I praise You!
Today. I’m worshiping with Steffany Gretzinger & Jeremy Riddle and “All Is for Your Glory.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
