Lotta Joy
Galatians 6:10
As we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those
who are of the household of faith.
Lotteries are pickpockets.
They stick their hands into our purses like a street-corner thief. Even those rare souls who “win” the lottery
often lose. Psychologist tell us that
people who win vast sums often lose their sense of purpose. Their money distracts them from their life’s
agenda. They quit their jobs, change
habits, go on sprees, and confuse their goals.
That’s why we hear stories like the man in Texas, who, two years after
winning 31 million dollars, killed himself.
Strange feelings of worthlessness befall those with deep pockets but
shallow hearts.
The richest life imaginable is awaking every morning with a sense
of purpose, knowing God has something for us to do. He has people for us to reach, cheer for us
to spread, smiles for us to share, tasks for us to tackle, and souls for us to
influence. Knowing what we’re called to
do is a greater blessing than striking it rich.
Take each opportunity daily to do His good will, and you’ll be truly rich.

Quote
Christ is gloriously rich?
Oh? There is abundance yea, a
redundancy of grace and riches in Christ.
He is full of grace as the sea is full of water or the sun is full of
light.

Seventeenth-century British pastor
