Wish Lists

Teresa Poucher

  Many of us have an Amazon account.  If not, you may sometimes get a friend to order things for you.  Since you probably have an account, you most likely have a wish list. 

 

  ‘Sure does make it easy at Christmas or birthdays.  Perhaps you won’t tell someone what you want, but you can always add it to your list without feeling guilty.

 

  I don’t know your desires, but I was wondering…

If God had a wish list, what would be on it?  Your money, your time?  I believe it would be simple obedience.  

 

“Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:36-40)

 

  If mankind would obey these two laws, we wouldn’t have many problems on this earth.  We would be so blessed.

 

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.

 

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice….” (Deuteronomy 30:15, 19-20 NKJV)

 

Let’s fulfill God’s wish list.
