In God we Trust

There is an inscription on the money we use that reads, "In God We Trust." We sometimes put our trust in God, but more often, we place our trust in our own ability, creativity, strength, will power, and financial prowless. But there is a lesson to be learned from that old faithful inscription on the money we use. We should spend it, save it, give it, but don't place your trust in it! Only when you put your trust in it do you realize that it is uncertain, unpredictable, unreliable, and fleeting. It has more tricks that the Great Houdini. Looking for a place to put your trust, God is the answer. He doesn't play tricks, very predictable, and always certain in your time of need.

Getting What You Really Want

Getting what you really want isn't as hard as you might think. It suggest that you already know what you really want; do you know what makes you happy, bring you joy, satisfy the soul? It's not the things that we crave, or lust after. What we really want is far different than what advertisers tell us we want. What we really want is found only in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You see, what we really want is spiritual, not material. We need material things for sure, but the emptiness and longing we have that can't be satisfied with money, sex, or adventure, is spiritual. Try building your daily agenda around a brief period of prayer and meditation, You will be amazed that you really don't want as much as you thought.
