The rain is coming and the wind is blowing. We need the rain. I have heard many people saying that we need the rain. For those whose homes were threatened this past week with wildfires it is a life giving substance from heaven. Much like the “What is it” or “manna” that fell in the wilderness. It provided that which was needed to sustain life.

Today’s Kirk’s Korner article I will boldly predict is like manna from heaven or the life giving substance that falls from heaven. It is this…Without a relationship with Jesus Christ as your personal savior all the good you can do on the earth will fall away like the grass that will soon die with coming winter. You can be a very good person. You can do good for others with every step you take and with all the money you have, but you will spend eternity in a terrible place. But the good news is this… when you bow our heart and ask forgiveness of your sin and allow Jesus Christ to become a living and active part of your life. When you decide that Jesus is a better leader than any person you might follow including yourself. When you wake each morning to ask Jesus Christ to rule in your hearts from within and to put aside all your earthly desires. God is faithful to hear your cry and come to you and comfort you and free you for a life of abundance.

Abundance does not always equal having everything you WANT, but abundance does represent everything you need and then more. We may not see until the promised land the overwhelming lavishness of our creator, but it is there for those who believe. Stop looking for the riches of God’s kingdom in our earthly existence. You will be sadly disappointed, but look for the God existence in the creations of His image. You will be richly blessed.

On the journey together,

Kirk
