Keeping Perspective

Therefore,don't let anyone judge you in regard to food and drink or in the matter of a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day. These are shadows of what is to come; the substance is the Messiah. Let no one disqualify you, insisting on ascetic practices and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm and inflated without cause by his un spiritual mind. He doesn't hold onto the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and tendons, develops with growth from God. Colossians 2:16-19

When we are insecure in our relationship with people we are easily swayed by people who say they know the one we want to develop a relationship with. Until we know that person, intimately, for ourselves will we be swayed. But then comes the day when we know that we know that we know we know and we do not care for the opinions of others.

This is the way it is with Christ. Others who sound so important can easily deflate us, intimidate us or over rule us, until we have spent the time to know Him and allow Him in to all of our being.

No one can tell me I must worship Mary or the angels above Christ. I will not bow down to any saint before Christ. He is the source and supply; the Alpha and Omega; the first and the last; the beginning and the end; all in all sufficiency; the great I AM!

He holds all things together; He nourishes me; He tends to me; He protects me; He saves me; He loves me; He is enough! Amen and amen!

There is no law that is more important than loving Him. There is no way to serve Him better than to walk in love with Him. There is nothing I can do that is more important than spending time with Him and allowing Him to rule. As I do this I do the acts of the Kingdom, they flow out of relationship! Amen!
