IT’S ALL ABOUT... A ‘silver spoon’ life
Did you ever hear the expression “he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth”? Well, not knowing the meaning and questioning an x-boss, he explained using an example of one of our factory owners, who happened to be the 7th generation in a successful family manufacturing business. He was an individual that was born into a privileged family with inherited wealth. Thus, the expression, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth! This young man didn’t have to work very diligently, mostly wined and dined his dealers and was on a continual all expenses paid life. So, in simple terms….an easy rich life with no money worries! Additionally, we all noticed there seemed to be an heir about this individual, maybe he perceived he was better than most everyone else. Nonetheless, he was personable and a fairly likable guy most of the time.
First Priority
What is the first priority of our life? Jesus knew who he was, and his first priority was his relationship with his heavenly Father. There is a lesson here for our lives.
A Living Sacrifice
The first thing that that Jesus did when he came into this world was to present his body to the Father, and that to be used for the glory of God. (Luke 2:21, 22) The first thing that Saul of Tarsus did when he met Jesus on the road to Damascus was to ask, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:16) This sets an example for us, when we come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, the first thing we must do is present our bodies a living sacrifice. (Romans 12:1) We surrender our will, our abilities, our ambitions to accomplish the will of God in our lives.
