LOOSE ATTACHMENTS

          LOOSE ATTACHMENTS

I Cor. 7:30-31 Happiness or sadness or wealth should not keep anyone from doing God’s work. Those in frequent contact with the things of the world should make good use of them without becoming attached to them, for this world and all it contains will pass away.  NLT

      As children of God, there is nothing that should keep us from serving the Lord.  Serving the Lord is not dependent on external circumstances; it is the natural response of the heart that loves the Lord and is grateful for all He has done for us.  Serving is not an option for those who are truly living in Christ; it is a necessity.

       We are given many resources in life to use for God’s glory.  The Lord blesses His children in different ways and in varying degrees.  No matter what we have available to us, we should use what we have to serve Him. 

       We have a tendency to get attached to the things we have instead of using them for God’s glory.  We get our eyes off of the Lord and onto the things we have.  We must guard our souls in this area.  No matter what you have or how much of it you have, it will all pass away and turn to dust.  No one who builds his life on what the world has to offer will ever find in those things the happiness or satisfaction he is looking for. 

       Be aware of your blessings and be thankful for them.  Ask the Lord to show you ways to use them for Him.  Give Him ownership of you and all you have and you will find the peace, contentment and joy your soul longs for.
