The Next Big Thing

We are looking to find something to fill the void,
When our lives have all but been destroyed.
Heaping more unto ourselves will widen the hole,
And it will consume and take over control.

The trinkets of the world pass our gaze,
And the world sings their praise.
We have taken the money we have earned,
And all because of that our money has burned.

We can fill the coffers of our need,
And still can be paupers indeed.
Consider Solomon and his life,
And all the things did cause him strife.

I know of something far greater than these things,
And all of the blessings of knowing Him brings.
He gave all the treasures of the world away,
And let us know of a better way.

So don't throw your life away,
When what you chose fades to grey.
The love of the Father worth far more,
And He, your life and soul will restore.

What Did Jesus Do?

We all hear, What Would Jesus Do? Instead let us focus on what He did. He created us in His image and all things around us. He brought His people out of Egypt. He brought the Kings of Israel to power, and David and Solomon were two kings though flawed God chose to use them in leading His people. He came to us in the form of a child, and dwelt among us. He did many great things to show His power, like healing the blind and crippled. He taught us how we should live. He sacrificed Himself, so that we might have eternal life. He gave us His Word so that we might know Him better.

What has Jesus done in your life? He has blessed you with salvation. Let us consider all the blessings that He has given us. This being the thanksgiving season; think on the blessings that mean something to you. It is the simple things of life that are a blessing to me. My God, my salvation, my family, and my needs are taken care of by the One Who owns it all.
