Deuteronomy 8:17-18

17. You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18. But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

You mat say – in the infamous words of Bill the Cat – “Thbbft”.

We tend to dismiss the presence of God in our lives. Atheists, agnostics for sure. But Christians, Jews, Muslims, et. al. do as well. We deny his presence in the way we take credit for our accomplishments, like we did it in our own. Sure would be true except that we use our God given talents and skills to get there. God given, not us created.

God loves us even when we blow him off, he blessed us even when we deny him. That’s who he is, that’s his love and patience, waiting for us to come back to him.

“Thbbft” might work for Bill the Cat – he’s not capable of much more. God is, and because of that, so are we. It’s his covenant to us through the ages. Recognize that and embrace the power he brings to us.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
