We're all probably familiar with the commercial where there's someone holding a tall glass of milk, big grin on their face, sporting a milk mustache and the caption simply asks, "Got milk?"
When I was a kid, everyone in my household liked and drank milk, a lot of it, except my mother. She did not drink milk. She was allergic to it. In fact, she was a vegetarian. She did not eat any animal products.
Then when I had a family of my own we all liked milk, but this blog is not about milk, it' about Jesus. I know you already guessed that from the title, didn't you?
I want to talk about Jesus. You see it's not about us, but it's all about Him. With Jesus we can leave the low life behind and live life abundantly. I like that word abundant. Abundant means: present in great quantity (your thinking money, right?). It means more than adequate; oversufficient; well supplied; abounding; richly supplied. That's the life we can have with Jesus. In this life we can have everything we need, because Jesus is our Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. He has a never ending supply of blessings for His children.
The low life.........or the high life? The world.........or Jesus? You can't have them both. It's one or the other and you must choose. You may try to put off that choice. You may try to hang on to the low life while reaching out for the high life at the same time. But you can't do that. It won't work. You must choose. You'll never be able to sample the high life until you're willing to take Jesus at His Word and trust Him to take care of you. When you do you'll start living the kind of life described in Psalm 1, where it talks about the blessed man. No matter what happens in the world, the blessed man will still prosper. Once you dare to let go and let God...........take care of you, instead of you struggling to take care of you and everybody else, you will see just how good life can be. You'll be living the high life, that abundant life Jesus talks about.
So my question to you today is, got Jesus?
