What Would You See?

Wisdom for Today
Do not be sluggish, but IMITATE those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrew 6:12


Do you remember going to the carnival and going to the House of Mirrors? There were many mirrors which made you look normal, tall, skinny, short, fat, a small body with a really big head and a mirror where you looked like Plastic man from the Fantastic Four, long and wiggly. Now, what if God took those same mirrors and had you stand in front of them, what would you see? What would it really show about you? The reflection you see will represent what you are spiritually. If you saw yourself skinny, this would represent spiritual starvation. Not getting enough of spiritual nutrition by reading the Word of God. If you saw yourself fat, this would represent a spiritual fat cat. You have a lot of Word but you’re not telling others about how God delivered and changed you. If you saw yourself with a small body and a big head, this would represent a prideful, conceited person. Nobody can tell you anything. You have an answer for everything. You never try and learn from others because you think you know it all.

 Don’t fret; there is a remedy for each one of these cases. If you saw yourself skinny (spiritual starvation), get into the Word of God. Don’t just read it, study and meditate on it like you would for a test. When you dig deep into it, you will find great treasures, treasures that are everlasting which will never rust or corrode.


If your saw yourself fat (spiritual fat cat), you need to let others know what you’ve learned through the Word, and about your test and trials. People need to hear your testimony how God saved, healed and delivered you. If you saw yourself with a small body and a big head (pride and conceited), get off your high horse NOW! God hates pride and arrogance; with pride comes nothing but strife; pride goes before destruction and pride will bring you low. The remedy for pride is humility. Learn to humble yourself and God will exalt you in due time.

Conclusion: Build up your spiritual man through The Word; pour into others the goodness of God and stay humble. The Word of God is the only thing that can bring about a change and cause a lasting change forever.
