They Are Looking In All The Wrong Places

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘In the matter of drudgery. Peter said in this passage that we have become “partakers of the divine nature” and that we should now be “giving all diligence,” concentrating on forming godly habits (2 Peter 1:4-5). We are to “add” to our lives all that character means. No one is born either naturally or supernaturally with character; it must be developed. Nor are we born with habits— we have to form godly habits on the basis of the new life God has placed within us. We are not meant to be seen as God’s perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace. Drudgery is the test of genuine character. The greatest hindrance in our spiritual life is that we will only look for big things to do. Yet, “Jesus . . . took a towel and . . . began to wash the disciples’ feet . . .” (John 13:3-5).’ CHAMBERS
 
We are not of this world, be we are in this world.  In a world that is searching for something .. looking in all the wrong places … finding poor substitutes for God only to have them fail .. to fall short  … You have the great honor to show the world what they are looking for … to show them Jesus.  This world is getting darker .. more desperate by the day … let your light shine … show them the way to what they are looking for ….
