Misused and Abused

How would you feel if you entrusted something that you invested time and energy in to to someone to use and they misused it? You recieve it back less than the value it had before you lent it out.... Wouldn't you feel upset or angry?
Well don't you think God feels the same way towards us when we are not using our gifts and talents in the proper way intended? For instance, there are talented music artist that misuse their gifts by worshipping cars, clothes, money, and sex through their lyrics. There are wealthy people who store up their resources in the earth instead of giving back by investing in God's people. There are gifted athletes who don't give God all of the glory for their success. The list goes on God is not pleased. God showed me His anger by allowing me to experience my own share of being the one who lends a possession to someone to find out that in return my possession came back all out of order, bent out of shape, and broken.
That describes us. See in this world there is evil because we are living in a fallen world. God handles the TIMING and TIME of things we just have to be responsible for the distractions. Distractions of fear, worry, trying to juggle too many tasks at once, engaging in the wrong crowd or activites makes our focus turn from God and in turn we form a new shape. God commands us to seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and everything else will be added. So with the little things God entrusts us with its vital that we take care of those things whether its friendships, ministry, finances, careers... Don't take things for granted because its in that moment where the determing factor is made. Can God trust you with more responsibilty. Can God elevate you or promote you to greater or more? Take a minute to think on the tasks that God is calling you to do are you being faithful in the process or are you going through the motions carelessly?
I pray that you the reader recieves discernment on the calling, the time, and the season of you life that God has placed on you. I pray that Father You give us a surrendered heart to You so that we may crucify our flesh, and our will so that Your will can be done on us, in us, and through us. Show us more of Your power and glory. Forgive us for misusing our talents and time and in turn teach us the proper way to live for Your glory. Saturate our hearts and minds with you love.Refine our wisdom to know more of you. We love you and we need you. Take us higher.Strengthen us to overcome the darts and snares that the enemy throws our way. We bind every tactic of satan. And we stand firm on Your everlasting promises of peace and prosperity. In Jesus name Amen.
