DB - Sunday 22nd March 09 - Casting Shadows
Casting a shadow of a doubt is to deceive ourselves to believe that things are not alright even when we know that it is. We may at times, despise others and think highly about ourselves. The world looks up to the rich and famous but God chose the weak and lowly in order to shame the powerful.
In recent days, the world has identified several rich and famous who would be going to jail. We must be mindful not to follow worldly standards. We are to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God. Dedicated to His service and pleasing to Him. This is the true worship that we should offer. Do not conform ourselves to the standard of this world, but let God transform us inwardly by a complete change of our mind. Then we will be able to know that will of God - what is good and is pleasing to Him and is perfect.
There is nothing we can really boast about in the presence of God. We must not think too highly than we should. Instead we are to be modest in our thinking. Judge ourselves according to the amount of faith we have in God. Turn our eyes upon Jesus and all the things of this world will grow strangely deem in the light of His face.
A Christian's life is the canvas on which others can see Jesus.
This means that no one can boast in God's presence. - 1 Corinthians 1 : 29
