Image is Nothing, Thirst is Everything. Obey Your Thirst

I'm not a big pop drinker but there are a few pops that I like a lot. One of those pops is Sprite. I was drinking a Sprite one night while I was reading 2 Samuel 15 & God spoke to me. The big famous slogan from Sprite is, "Image is Nothing, Thirst is Everything. Obey Your Thirst." As I was reading the story of Saul I thought of the Sprite message.

Here Saul was on a mission from God & somewhere along the way decided to dv8 from the plan & do his own thing. Samuel called out Saul about his sin & told him that God was preparing another king to replace him. Saul responded by saying, "I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel." Saul was more concerned with his image that he was about his heart. I never want that to be the case.

My prayer for myself & for our ministry is that our thirst for godliness would be much greater than our desire for image. God's not looking for us to build our own image; he wants us to become his image.

obeying my thirst,
Luis

Just Do It

Have you ever been afraid to do what God wants you to do? I know I have. Serving God is the most exciting thing that you can do, but it can be very scary at times. But there's good news... perfect love!

1 John 4:18 - Perfect loves expells ALL fear...

Fear is a perfect love problem. The more we love God the more we'll trust him & the more we'll face & conquer our fears. Jesus is better than our excuses, bigger than our laziness & bolder than our fear! So...

JUST DO IT!

Quote

I read this quote today & thought I'd share it with you

"Excellence is...
  • the result of caring more than others think is wise,
  • risking more than others think is safe,
  • dreaming more than others think is practical,
  • and expecting more than others think is possible."
Striving fore excellence,
Luis
