Opinions - like navels - we all have one!

Good morning everyone!! Another great day to say: "God is good all the time, all the time, God is good!"

Opinions! We all have one, many express them - whether correct or incorrect. The interesting thing is the one who expresses his/her opinion usually thinks it is correct.

So, what do we do with opinions. We try to get other people to agree with us (misery loves company) and then we feel satisfied temporarily. Whether it is politics, religion, work, or just life in general; we tend to think we have an inside track.

We act as if we can run/control our lives. We are a creature of free will and choice, however, when reality sets in, well, we then really SEE! God should be the controlling instrument in our lives. HE is the only one who REALLY KNOWS.

Psalm 40:6 "You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings. Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand - you don't require burnt offerings or sin offerings."

Religious ritual (opinions), we often make ritual (or it is our opinion that) we go to church, take communion, pay tithes. All these are empty if our reasons for doing them are selfish or ritualistic (acts without thought).

God wants an attitude of devotion to him. "Obedience is better than sacrifice." 1 Samuel 15:22 Give God the obedience and lifelong service he desires from you. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
