Matthew 16:5 Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” [1] Jesus asked the disciples who they thought He was. They had spent a lot of time with Him traveling the country. People had been healed of sickness and disease. Others were raised from the dead. Jesus taught with authority and depth no one had ever seen and heard before. Reading this scripture it made me wonder what people would say if I asked them that same question. “Who do you say that I am?” What would their answer be? Am I someone I want to be? Am I being the person I know I can be? Who do people say you are? Who does God want you to be? Who has God made you to be? He has good plans for you, a future and a hope. Make the changes in your life so you get the answer you want to the questions above. Pray for God’s help, only He can make lasting changes in all of us. [1] The New King James Version . (1982). (Mt 16:15). Nashville: Thomas Nelson

For Men Abhorred the Offering of the Lord

The Wicked Sons of Eli 12 Now the sons of Eli were corrupt; they did not know the LORD. 13 And the priests’ custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling. 14 Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. 15 Also, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.” 16 And if the man said to him, “They should really burn the fat first; then you may take as much as your heart desires,” he would then answer him, “No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force.” 17 Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for men abhorred the offer

The Weight of our Past

Often the baggage of life hangs heavy on us. I was walking at the park today and could feel the weights of sin, regret, hurt, loss, and pain. Years of screw ups, small mistakes and big mistakes try to stop me from being all God has planned for me. That baggage is slowing me down, keeping me back from where I'm supposed to be and how fast I get there. It doesn't just effect my journey but also those who I am around in my personal life and professional life. When I am held back others are, too. So, today I am taking them off. One by one I'm setting the baggage I pick every morning when I wake up and laying them at the foot of the cross. Jesus has taken all my burdens and has set me free. I'm going to take each day for what it is and not live it in reference to my past. The mistakes of others are gone along with my mistakes. The consequences may not be gone, but the guilt, shame, disappointment, and low self esteem will be. Faith in God's abilit
