RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY, MAY 5, 2020.
TOPIC: *WHAT ARE YOU SUBSTITUTING FOR GOD*
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 2:5.
*MESSAGE*
We live in a world where fake products sell, sometimes even more than the original. The people who produce them design them to look just like the original. But in reality, are they? No.
Substitutes and replacement are everywhere. And although many of us don't realize it, much of our lives are spent trying to fill voids with substitutes and replacements rather than reaching for the real stuff. The question you should ask yourself today is this: Are you doing the same with God?
Although money, jobs, titles, and successes aren't necessarily bad things, when they start becoming our source of worth, they have become a worthless attempt in replacing the fulfillment that only God can give. The reality is, you can't replace the irreplaceable. God is unending, all powerful, and life giving. To think that we could replace His love with something of this world means we don't truly believe in His power and majesty.
*ACTION POINT*
God is irreplaceable. What are you replacing Him with in your life?
*SCRIPTURES*
Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 8:6.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Lord, thank You for loving me and for being more than enough for me;
2. Father, open my eyes to see what I am replacing you with in my life and help me correct that error in the name of Jesus;
3. Father, may I continue to be an obedient sheep, heeding Your voice alone in the name of Jesus.
*THE BIBLE OF THE YEAR*
Num. 16:1-40, Prov. 13, 2 Pet. 2.
