Baggage Claim

When you go on a trip... You pack the stuff you thik you will need. How silly of us if we were going to the Bahamas for summer vacation and we not only packed huge coats and mittens, but decided to take the computer (not the laptop mind you) along with the monitor and the printer, and maybe for the three day trip-- take enough clothes for a whole month?

In our our journey to get closer with God as well as grow to be be more like Jesus, God says don't take any baggage with you. He tells us in Matthew 11.28 "If you are tired of carrying heavy loads, come to me and I will giv eyou rest." And in 1 Peter 5.7 it says "Cast all your cares (anxiety, worry, stress) on God for he will care (he will stress, he will do the worrying) for you."

Before continuing on your trip, give all the excess stuff you don't need to God. Leave all the baggage with Him. he will more than gladly take it from you.

Fuego De Dios (Fire Of God)

When I first got serious with God I read nothing but the NIV Bible. After a while, I searched for other translations to get a better understanding of God's word. I moved to the NKJV. It was a fresh revelation. Not because it was better than the NIV but because it was different. After a few years immeresed in the NKJV and having highlighted and written note sin my Bible I felt it was time to move on. My next step? The Message version. What a difference. Again, not better, just different.

I find I get a freshness as well from singing and listening to music in Spanish. I fell in love with "Mighty To Save" by Hillsong a while ago. And like most things, the "first love" wanes. However, I heard it in Spanish and the goose-bumps returned. I added a song I have never heard in English called Fuego De Dios (I think the Hillsong song is actually called Fire Fall Down). But I love the chant... Fuego De Dios consumenos! (Fire of God, consume us.)

Thought I'd share.
