Becoming Royalty

"He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor..."  I Samuel 2:8 (NIV)

This morning the good Lord reminded me that the humble and meek will inherit His Kingdom.  Finding contentment in whatever circumstance through Christ will lead you to the path of fulfillment and joy.  Some turn to alcohol and drugs to find acceptance, temporary joy, or to just numb the pain.  This endless cycle may temporarily fulfill the void that we are all on a quest to overcome, but these methods never satisfy for long.

When you cannot control your home life, stress or pending trials God still has a plan in place for those that TRUST in HIM.  Today, I pray for all of us "that not my will be done, but HIS".  Take a moment to find a quiet place and ask God to give you some perspective in your life, and then just listen for the Holy Spirit's promptings.

What is God calling you to do?  Do you trust Him?  Are you going to follow through with what He is leading you to do or not do?
