Funny thing is, I gave each kiddo their own to look at and look up scriptures together and later found this one, done in typical Maggie-fashion. She just couldn't have a simple black and white one she had to add her own flair, and this is what it looks like........haa haaa a margarita glass!!! I cracked up! She didn't realize it, being that we don't have margaritas around here but we got a great laugh out of it and it still remains on our fridge!
What is on the throne? Who is on the throne? I find myself many times wanting to be up on the throne wanting what I want...when I want it..only to be knocked off...de throned. Why is it such a battle, my heart wants God to be the choice always yet my will battles that fleshly enticing call to elevate myself to the top through my selfishness.
It is a constant battle but one that continually draws me in to His presence as I seek to make choices that glorify Him.
Galatians 6:7-9
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
