Corner/Center

     Always, (no matter the who, what, where, when or why scenario) God is in my, and your, corner.   No matter how dire the mire we get ourselves into, God stands in our corner ready to come to our rescue.   Even when we are dead set wrong, God stands in our corner with forgiveness, understanding, encouragement and healing for each of us.   God, out of love for all of His children, places Himself in our individual corner.   Never do we ever need doubt this.   However, we, each of every one of us, should ponder where we place God.

     While God is always in our corner, never should we place God in a remote corner of our lives.   Instead, as Christians, we are called to place God in the center of our lives.   We can fly on autopilot in regards to knowing God is in our corner.   Placing God in the center of our lives is not a destination that can be reached without requiring constant manual control by each of us human operators.   To place, and keep, God as the center of our lives, we need to continually focus and think about God being our center and our life’s journey orbiting around Him as our core.

     Growing in the Lord, with Him as our center, is never a full grown achievement.   It is ongoing for as long as we walk the space of planet Earth.   It’s routine to stop and fill our bodies with three squares a day to be able to run the rat race of earthly life.   Sadly, it’s not as customary to daily stop and nourish our souls with the one center who can win our greatest race – eternity in heaven.   Per diem, we fill our plates with food to keep our bodies living.   What nourishment do we place in the center of our lives to keep our souls from dying???
