Sometimes it's funny how God speaks to us. A few days ago I was sitting in our den indulging in one of my favorite pastimes; eating. I love to eat and I'd just finished cleaning some meat off a pork chop bone. I was about to throw the bone in the trash when I saw there was still meat on that bone. That's when God took over. How many times do we just give up on things? How many times have we given up on God? We take things that we consider useless and cast them aside. We find it's easier to give up, then to try to get all the meat off that bone. We don't want to fight for our marriage so we get a divorce. We don't want to fight for our jobs so we quit. We don't want to fight for our kids so we let the streets raise them. We give up on addicts and the less fortunate. We have no mercy on those bones. I want to tell you today that there's still meat on those bones!! Have faith in God!(Mark 11:22) Don't give up on people or things so easily. In the passage today, this man had been given up on, cast aside like a bone with no meat. But Jesus came and He saw some meat on that bone! He saw a chance to give God the glory! He saw a chance for a miracle! There are going to be times when you want to give up but remember this:"There's still meat on that bone!!
Father help us to see you in everyone and everything.
In Jesus name Amen!
