6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Matthew 7:6
Powerful scripture that really speaks to my heart. I am mindful of who is in my circle and who I surround myself with. I am mindful of where my energy is spent and to whom I invest my money, time, and life on. For over two decades I worked in an environment of greed, self and deceit. There were no values, morals or self worth principles. I sowed seeds into that environment for years, I gave what was holy to dogs and threw pearls to swine for years. It was not until I truly began to change and seek Him on a deeper more meaningful level that I realized I was not where I should be anymore. The job which was once a blessing for me, (it is where I met my husband, met wonderful people and life long friends, and I was financially blessed tremendously, which allowed me to bless others) was no longer. But I began to change over the years, my church attendance ended, my prayer time was lessening and I was growing more enslaved to my possessions. Has that ever happened to you? The Lord will show you where it is in your life that He needs you to stop throwing pearls to swine. Ask Him to reveal the area, perhaps even areas and He will. For me, I knew what I needed to do and when He called upon me on July 5th, 2010 to lay it all down and walk away to follow Him and trust Him only, I listened and obeyed. There is not even an ounce left of that "old self", that "old life". I live my entire life for Him. He is the center of my life, marriage, home and church. It is He that I seek to glorify, not myself nor my flesh. Is He trying to get your attention in an area to which is not holy? Are you willing to listen and obey?
