Agur’s Prayer
This morning I will be preaching on Agur’s Prayer. I preached about him last week also and mentioned the sweet spot that Jesus want’s us to be in. Amen?
Well, today the secret is revealed on how we can live in that sweet spot. Agur reveals it to us in his short prayer.
Proverbs 30:7-9 NIV (7) "Two things I ask of you, LORD; do not refuse me before I die: (8) Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. (9) Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
It is balance!
If we have the attitude to ask for ONLY our daily bread and to NOT be rich OR poor, we have found balance. We have found true contentment and that brings happiness.
True contentment opens our eyes to the gift Jesus has already given us.
Recognizing our gift allows us to find purpose! That is the secret treasure we all want to discover, our purpose! Amen?
The secret to knowing our purpose here on earth is to embrace our gifts and use them to glorify God! It is as simple as that.
If you dance, dance for the Lord. If you sing, sing for the Lord. If you make things, make them for the Lord. If you build, build the best for the Lord.
Listen, everyone has a gift! I had one person come to me and while trying to explain that he didn’t think there was anything that he could do for the Lord, he realized he could cut grass for the Lord.
Since then, God has used him and his son in an outreach called Cuts 4 Christ to bring Glory to the Lord!
If you _________ then do __________ for the Lord. Amen?
Embrace your gift and do it for the Lord today!
