Worldy Standards?

{Worldly Standards?}

Someone named Bryan Wilkerson came up with a set of "Beatitudes" for the 21st century! He said, "What if we made a list of the kinds of people who seem to be well-off [successful] - who seem to have it made - by today’s [worldly] standards?" It might go something like this:

1. Blessed are the rich and famous, because they can always get a seat at the best restaurants.
2. Blessed are the good-looking, for they shall be on the cover of "People" magazine.
3. Blessed are those who party, for they know how to have fun.
4. Blessed are those who take first place in the division, for they shall have momentum going into the playoffs.
5. Blessed are the movers and shakers, for they shall make a name for themselves.
6. Blessed are those who demand their rights, for they shall not be overlooked.
7. Blessed are the healthy and fit, because they don’t mind being seen in a bathing suit.
8. Blessed are those who make it to the top, because they get to look down on everyone else.

These worldly standards are just another reminded as to why it’s so important to stay focus in life and remember our purpose for this short time we are here on earth.  We all fall short of the glory of God and no one’s perfect but let’s take some time out each day and remember to put God first in everything we do….He is the reason why we are here.

Be Blessed- LaLa
