Thriving – The Master Ingredient
The Christmas & Hanukkah holiday season is a time when quite a lot of baking takes place. In all the baking that goes on every recipe has several ingredients to make it taste so delicious. For instance, one of the popular items for these holiday seasons is Gingerbread cookies. Now the ingredients to make these cookies are baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground allspice, ground cloves, salt, freshly milled black pepper (optional), 1 stick unsalted butter, vegetable shortening (optional), light or dark brown sugar, unsulfured molasses, pure vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Well, all of this sounds great, but you are still missing the master ingredient which is at least 3 cups of all-purpose flour. If you are missing the master ingredient your cookies will never come out right. Thriving – The Master Ingredient. http://www.miraclebook.net
This same principle applies to trying to live a life without God. He is the master ingredient. God will take you to levels that you cannot imagine and take you from a life of just surviving to thriving. Do you have dreams, goals, and aspirations you want to reach and conquer? Well, none of them will be possible if you do not have the master ingredient. God must always be the mainline, not a sideline. It is just like having a car that you expect to take you where you want to go without putting gas in the tank. God is the master ingredient that you must have to travel through this earthly journey of life. Sure, just like regular roads you will run across uneven paving, potholes, and a host of other things that make traveling challenging but without God you will never have a chance of making it.
God never promised a blissful or pain-free life, but he did promise he would be with you always. If Jesus struggled while he was here on earth what makes you think you will be the exception to the rule? When challenges come do not be fearful and think God has abandoned you. God says in his word, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” – Isaiah 41-10. In the word of God, it also says, “But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” – Psalm 75:7.
Do not be the one he puts down because you forgot or do not want to acknowledge that God is The Master Ingredient. Thriving – The Master Ingredient.
