Don't Be A Rotting Pumpkin!

Yesterday as I was unloading a trailer of pumpkins for our church pumpkin sale for charity, I found several rotten pumpkins that I had to dispose of, I mean who could use rotten pumpkins. Brothers and Sisters, as we begin our week, let us make this a Micha 6:8 week.

Micah 6:8

English Standard Version (ESV)

He has told you, O man, what is good;

    and what does the Lord require of you

but to do justice, and to love kindness,

    and to walk humbly with your God?

Let us ask ourselves, are we doing what the Lord requires or are we just sitting like rotting pumpkins that are of no use to anyone or anything? Let us do justice, love kindness and walk in humbleness before God. Instead of being rotting pumpkins, let us be fresh pumpkins that are used to display the abundance of God's provision for our lives.

Beloved, being a Christian is all about ministry, and making disciples of God's creation. This can not be done by sitting in the pumpkin patch rotting, it can only be done by displaying God's freshness, abundance and provision. 

Let us make our Micah 6:8 week by letting God use us to His glory and His benefit.

Let someone take you out of your pumpkin patch this week and always.
