Seal of Ownership

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
We are heading into a weekend. Many times we look at weekends as a time for relaxation and recreation. Rightly so, after a hard week of work. But no matter what your activity, just remember you are "branded" and are owned by our Creator. Give Him the Glory due His Name.

" Your plans can be torn up like a jigsaw puzzle. You may have a little grave on a hillside somewhere. I have. May I say that we all have our Marahs. You will not bypass them. You cannot detour around them, skip over them, or tunnel under them. God uses a branding iron. I remember West Texas, in the spring of the year when the calves were branded. As a boy I would see the branding iron put down on a little fellow. Oh, how he bellowed! It made me feel sort of sad to hear him cry. But from then on everyone knew to whom he belonged. After a calf was branded, it would not get lost. God does that for us today." (J. V. McGee)

Meetings all weekend. Fun seeing friends again Sarasota.

God bless you
