"F" Words that destroy! Part 2

    FAMILIARITY!  Have you become so familiar with your surroundings that you begin to take for granted their greatness? When something is new we tend to care for it and be more thankful that it’s in our lives, but the more familiar we are the less we appreciate what we have. Have you become too familiar with your spouse? Kids? Job? Your church?  The Fact that Jesus has Saved your soul and made you brand new inside?

 

It happens to all of us, and it happened to the neighbors of Jesus. They took for granted that Jesus, the Son of God, was from their town. They had seen him play as a child and work as a carpenter. Now Jesus was performing these amazing miracles, and they just laughed it off. Look at what Jesus said:

 

 Mark 6:4(NLT) "...A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family."

 

Here is the question that we need to ask ourselves, "Where have I become too familiar?" Has Jesus blessed your life with people and relationships, and you’re starting to laugh it off and explain it away?

 

Lets live today with a sense of wonder of how good Jesus is too us!!
