“”And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation. “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”

All,

This stands out because Jesus says, “I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself”.  Do we look to God for provision or to ourselves?  Have you ever chased fools gold before?  I have and the world is full of it. It’s seems paradoxical to think only Jesus can provide us our needs in this world when we see so many tangible things around us. Just because it’s in the world doesn’t mean it’s bad, but we can ask if it’s of God though. Jesus wants us to enjoy Him and he gives us the things that actually accomplished that. Please pray that we and our friends seek Jesus’s plan today. Please pray for the veterans over this Memorial Day weekend.
