DO I BELONG?
Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 3-4

"I had to feed you with milk and not with solid food, because you couldn't handle anything stronger. And you still aren't ready, for you are still controlled by your own sinful desires. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn't that prove you are controlled by your own desires? You are acting like people who don't belong to the Lord." 1 Corinthians 3:2-3 NLT

I've thought about the fact that how I do, what I say and how I react to things associates me with groups of people.

I know lumber lingo because of my time at the lumberyard.

I know a few sewing facts because of my time spent at my Mom's knee and in Home Ec class.

I know simple booking/baking terms because I do so love to eat and I have Food Network.

I can talk garden with the older generation.

But these words of Scripture this morning check me on where I truly belong...to God.

My attitude, yes even and especially towards my Christian brothers and sisters, are fact-bearing as to whether or not I am truly God's.

To be told that I am acting like someone who doesn't belong to the Lord would be a slap in the face--but may be just what I need to get things right with God!
