WHOS YOUR PARTNER

THIS MORNING AS I WAS PREPARING MY CUP OF TEA I PULLED THE CUP FROM THE CUPBOARD I FOUND THESE WORDS INGRAVED ON THE CUP. GOD IS THE SILENT PARTNER IN ALL GREAT ENTERPRISES. These words started me thinking about my life and who is my partner as I go through life, many of us would say well its my husband, my wife, my parents, my children and these are all good answers but where is the one partner we need to help us truly relate to and love those that are close to us. God is the one true partner that we all need to help us walk in the truth show that truth to the world. Lets talk about family for a moment. God created the family he made man and women and told them to go forth and mutiply. He wanted the family unit to be strong and walk upright in the earth and the one thing He also wanted was to be a part of that family. He gave every one of us the right to choose to follow his will and ideas. We can look at God as that silent partner in the enterprise of marriage and family. If we fail to include him in our family the family begins to fall apart. Oh it doesn't heppen real fast little by little the outside forces come in and begin to eat away at the morals and the peace of the family life. All thruogh out the word of God from Genesis to Revelation God has always wanted to be a part of our lives in every aspect of it. He is the true influence that will keep the family in love with each other and create that willingness to maintain and help each other. Lets talk about your personal relationship with God is HE your partner do you seek his will for your life do you give Him that honored place in your life. Do you and I truly allow Gods Word to influence our lives like he really wants to.When I was a little boy one of the fist passages of scripture I ever memorized was John 3:16" For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beleives in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. At the time I memorized this I was doing it to win a prize that was offered to the one who could quote it word for word I worked hard to get this word into my heart to win the prize, but it wasn't until I really let Jesus have the control of my life that I understood the depth of this verse. I realized that where it says for God so loved the world that he was talking about me He loved me enough to send His Son into the world to redeem me. God sent Jesus so that He could become my partner in life to enable me to see my fellow man as Jesus and as God the Father sees him. To have the compassion for him that the Father has for him. To be able to walk in forgiveness toward all of humanity no matter what. God is just waiting to become the partner in your life.Listen to these words from the book of Joshua" This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth,but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will have good success. This verse is giving us the truth on how to be successful in life. It shows us how to become a true partner with God. To be partner with someone you have to get to know them we get to know God through His word and making it a living part of our lives everyday. By the way the one who penned those Words that were on my cup was Abraham Lincoln. Have a Blessed and Healthy day. From Pastor Ken
