To Posess

They say possession is nine tenths of the law, I have no clue what that actually means.. But I have been thinking about the things we possess lately. What do you possess? Do the things you possess really possess you? We put so much infacis on the things we acquire. Even to the point that they end up possessing us. Man, the importance of "things."

Last nigtht as I put Gracie to sleep I watched "Inkheart". There is a scene in this movie where Brenden's aunt is in the library and the "bad guys" come in to take away her and his child to get him to read bringing the words in the books to life in physical form. They begin to rip apart her books. The aunt goes crazy at the loss of what she holds the most value in. They are her possession's, but it is clear that her possession's truly possess her.

Sure thing should have some importance. But given the uncertainty of life I think it's a bit odd to allow our possession's to possess us. Things come and go. "It is what it is!" But thinking about possessing and asking what possess you, brings me to this:

If you are a believer does God possess you more than you possess Him? We have had a week of powerful services here in Nome AK, for CAMP meeting. Bondages have been broken and people got saved. "Praise God." But last night I couldn't help but thinking about what we possess. The things we hold on to can keep us from our further possession of God. These things can get in the way of spending time with him and in fellowship with other believers that is so important.

Does you possess God as much as you possess the other things in your life? Better yet and more importantly, are you allowing God to possess you?

Blessings,
