Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me

Mixed Among The People


Hos 7:8  Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

It is a great thing to learn to take GOD first, and then He can afford to give us everything else, without the fear of its hurting us.

As long as you want anything very much, especially more than you want GOD, it is an idol.

But when you become satisfied with GOD, everything else so loses its charm that He can give it to you without harm, and then you can take just as much as you choose, and use it for His glory.

There is no harm whatever in having money, houses, lands, friends and dearest children, if you do not value these things for themselves.

If you have been separated from them in spirit, and become satisfied with GOD Himself, then they will become to you channels to be filled with GOD to bring Him nearer to you.

Then every little lamb around your household will be a tender cord to bind you to the Shepherd's heart. 

Then every affection will be a little golden cup filled with the wine of His love. 

Then every bank, stock and investment will be but a channel through which you can pour out His benevolence and extend His gifts.
