Five Minute Friday: VALUE

November 23, 2018 by admin 14 Comments


Five Minute Friday VALUE

Kate said, “Value.”

That’s a loaded word. VALUE.

What is considered to have great value in today’s culture?

Wealth?

Fame?

Position?

Power?

There is nothing wrong with having money as long as money doesn’t “have” you.

There is nothing wrong with being famous as long as it’s for something of benefit and kindness.

There is nothing wrong with being in a place of position as long as you use it well.

There is nothing wrong with having power as long as you don’t use it to wield evil or wickedness.

VALUE – what do I consider valuable?

First, the salvation that faith in Jesus Christ assures me. #1

My husband. My family. My job. My testimony and witness. My ministry

These are the things I value most.

The chorus that comes to mind…

Lord, You are more precious than silver. Lord, You are more costly than gold. Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds. Nothing I desire compares to You.

What is it that you value?

Kate said VALUE. What is that you value? Write with us. @fiveminutefriday

    How sweet to be reminded of the old song this morning! It’s true, isn’t it? As I thought on the prompt, I came to realize how deeply I value the Scriptures. xo

      Joanne, my mom was such an example of “value.” She had no earthly treasures but her value? Bibles, devotionals, journals, and photos.

    I was nodding my head in agreement as I read your post. I’ve had wealth and lost it. It doesn’t satisfy and can easily be taken away. I also value my relationship with Jesus, my family, and my faith. Visiting from FMF #9

    Jesus is definitely the most valuable of all! Other things can distract us at times but he is what really matters!

    Love this! Your mention of the chorus, “More Precious than Silver,” was so fitting. Nothing I desire can compare with Him.

    Thank you for sharing that beautiful old song. I just had to go listen to it now (what a blessing Youtube can be sometimes!) There in the verse: “Who can weigh the value of knowing You…” Amen. Nothing else can compare in value to Him.

    Love this, Susan.

    Something I rea just a couple of hours ago may fit, as well, in ‘value’:

    “The only thing that you can simultaneously give and keep is your word.”

      There is value in THAT. Amen.

Kate said fix Today, I come to confess. Dun Dun D Kate said fix

Today, I come to confess.
Dun Dun Dun Dun…

I used to be a FIXER.

Family problems? Not to worry I will manage, manipulate, and fix it. The only problem? It gets expensive and very stressful.

Fixing is bad for your health.

I have learned

There is a Fixer better than myself. This Fixer can and will FIX anything and anyone IF you ask.
If you release.
If you give it up.
If you lay the object of fix on the altar of sacrifice.

Sometimes…

There is an immediate fix. Sometimes The Fixer will ask you to sit still and do nothing. Sometimes The Fixer will use you in the fix.
But THIS I know…

The Fixer really doesn’t need any help from me.

So, What Does One Do?

We pray and our prayers keep The Fixer involved, on the scene, and in the situation.

The Fixer

Do you know Him?

But may the God of all grace [THE FIXER], who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5.10-11

Who or what are YOU trying to fix? Give them/it to The Fixer!
