"Save Yourselves From This Corrupt Generation"

By William M. Self, Sr.

 

 

God put you in the midst of His creation

Like you live in a garden created by God

 “So it was that when they gave God up and would not even acknowledge him,

God gave them up to doing everything their evil minds could think of.”

Romans 1:28-29 TLB

 

Acknowledgements

Have you ever done something nice

 for someone and it went unnoticed?

All of us need to be acknowledged.

We need to receive thanks, gratitude,

appreciation, and recognition.

Through acknowledgments we

 understand our value to others.

     

We have copyrights and patent laws to

ensure proper acknowledgements is given.

Successful businesses work very

 hard to be acknowledged.

They spend millions of dollars for name recognition.

Proverbs tells us…

“A good name is more desirable than great riches;

to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1 NIV

  Someone says something bad about us we

become very angry because those are fighting words.

Whenever I run into someone who said they

did not care, when it came to being acknowledged...

I find a person who is hurting from

not being acknowledged or they have

a bad attitude about life or have given up.

The Bible does say we are to not let our

right hand know what our left hand is doing.

And we are not to do things for the praise of men.

What we do should always be done because it

is the right thing not to receive a pat on the back.

So if acknowledgement is so

important to us what about God?

God put you in the midst of His creation…

Like you live in a garden created by God.

Did you thank Him for the air you breathe,

the materials that made your house,

the last bite of food you ate?

Did you thank Him for the strength to

handle that challenge in your life?

You and I are surrounded by God’s goodness…

So He should be surrounded

by our acknowledgements.

You and I give up on those who don’t

acknowledge what we do and so does God.

“So it was that when they gave God up

and would not even acknowledge him,

God gave them up to doing everything their

evil minds could think of.” Romans 1:28-29 TLB
