Don't Be Pitiful: Be Powerful

     We are living in physical stages when we should live in spiritual stages.  We must store our treasures up

in heaven, where they won't spoil, rot, or fade away.  (Matthew 6:20)  But store up for yourselves treasures

in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  We are

consumed with the physical when we should be consumed with the spiritual.  Then we wouldn't be pitiful

but powerful.  Being powerful is looking pass the FLESH and not giving into it.  The FLESH is, (False

Lessons Eating Salvation's Honor).  When we obey God by following the ten commandments, we are

powerful.  When we live by our own rules, we are pitiful because God wins every time anyone goes

against him.  He is above all.  The word of God is powerful and effective, is useful for teaching, rebuking,

correcting, and training in righteousness.  (2 Timothy 3:16)  We need to humble ourselves in the sight of

the Lord to transform ourselves from being pitiful to becoming powerful.

     We need to decide whose side we're living on:  God's or Satan's.  This will determine if we're pitiful or

powerful.  God is almighty and all knowing and all powerful.  We're powerful when and if we depend on

God.  From the beginning of time we've been pitiful.  But by obeying God we will become powerful.

Do we accept this invitation?  Just think of how powerful we'll be if and when we do.  The world would

be ours.  God just asks for our obedience.
