FEBRUARY 28 – BE

2/28 Matthew 5:13-19
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it useful again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. 14 You are the light of the world — like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. 15 Don’t hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. 17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to fulfill them. 18 I assure you, until heaven and earth disappear, even the smallest detail of God’s law will remain until its purpose is achieved. 19 So if you break the smallest commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
BE
God calls us to be a be before we do a do. If we don’t get our relationship with Jesus right nothing we do will be right. Listen to what Jesus says and measure the world’s way by what Jesus says. If something is out of sync it is the world-deal with it. You may be persecuted. You may suffer. It is of little importance for the thing of absolute first importance is to let Jesus have control of you. When Christ is in control you will be a light, you will have life and you will know how to deal with daily life.
