Savor the Savior

There is simply too much noise in the world. Don't you agree?

When was the last time you were not rushing to pay a bill, get to a meeting, figure out what's for dinner, change the oil in the car, walk the dog before it rains, make sure the uniforms are clean before the next game or finding time at 1 a.m. to catch up on your favorite reality TV show.

Sounds like days we all have and a rut most of us loathe with all of our being. Somewhere along the way we have forgotten how to truly savor our days.

We are searching for ways to improve our situation, get more time with our husband or wife, practice ball with our kid and how to push the right button to get the big raise you believe you deserve at work.

In other words, we are searching for the right spice to give awaken our senses. The perfect ingredient to spark our days. The one victory that once again gives us favor.

Too often we run ourselves ragged trying to find this missing piece. We fill our palate with all the wrong flavors. We mix the ingredients we think are right and then convince our mind and heart we finally have found what we are looking for.

But how should we define our days? How should we define who we are? What do we need to do to once again savor life?

Savor and Savior have a common bond that rests in the added I. It is that perfect and pure relationship God wants with us all. Are you forcing your agenda in defining who you are to try and make your life full and happy? Or are you letting God lead you and completely give you the living water in telling your story through the Savior.

This will be the focus of the next month of columns and posts as God leads me to uncover how to truly enjoy the riches He has blessed us with. We will take a look at praying for authority in His Power while finding ways to give in to our stubborn selves by taking a look at various people in the Bible through their stories. God told them to have faith and patience and is telling us to fully Trust in Him and Savor all that the Savior has sacrificed to give us every day.

To prepare our path for Study this Sunday read:
Luke 6:17-26
Romans 4
Daniel 5

Please make some notes as you read and study. Underline where God spoke to you.

Now read this story about Pastor Strawberry who thought he had everything life had to offer only to realize he had nothing until his story became one with the Savior. Here is my take on it.

Have a blessed weekend!
