Scripture of the Day
Luke 10:30-31 (NKJV)
“No Earthly Good”
Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

We cannot be so heavenly bound (focused), that we become no earthly good! We cannot be so full of holy-self that we don’t live spirit-filled lives! Sometimes we don’t want to be seen talking to the broken hearted prostitute because of what someone may say, or we feel we are above that! Some will think to themselves, “They are too lost anyway!” Some of us won’t even smile at a homeless person because we think it’s their fault they have to live like that or it is their misfortune! Note: Be careful . . . we are all just one situation away from being there ourselves! We all are living under the grace of GOD! Some of us will not speak to a drunk because they smell awful, but our sins carry the same stench to the nose of our FATHER! We need HIS forgiveness, there for we should be able to forgive the smell of the drunk and give of ourselves!
Please note that I said “Some of us” not “All of us” However, we all have been charged by the authority of JESUS to reach and teach the lost! For we were once lost! I didn’t get to where I am by myself. Someone invested their time to show me, not just tell me . . . but showed me how much GOD loves us! Don’t let the pulpit or any other platform/position get you so heavenly bound that you are no earthly good!
Let’s Live with Godly Kingdom Thinking!
