Dear Friends
of Rise Up Lubbock,
On my last visit to the coffee shop I
ask for my favorite flavor of rich dark brewed coffee and they told me that was
not the flavor they had brewed for the day. They had a new coffee I had never
tried. With anticipation I thought that I was getting the new and better coffee
offered by the company and so I tried it. Don’t get me wrong… it was okay but
it just was not as satisfying as the flavor I had come into the shop to
get. I fell for the thought that newer
was better, but when it come to what really matters in life… well, most of the
time we just want to be happy and you and I both know where the source of
happiness is . I assure you that the source of real happiness is not in a cup
of coffee… right?

Dear Lord,
I have spent all my life working to acquire
stuff. I see the newest technology and I can’t wait until I am able to afford
it. I believe the bank and blue book appraisal when they tell me that the worth
of my car is calculated by its age instead of its performance. What I really
desire from you, Jesus, is not a life filled with fad or fashion, not the
newest or latest but quality… I want a quality life. I want my life to matter.
I want my legacy to be one of example; as how to live a fulfilling life after
your plan. Help me see through society’s worthless teachings to find what is
really worth living for. I want to live a life full of more enjoyment and you
are the source of joy, the source of happiness, the source of fulfillment.
Lord, I want more of You. - Amen
Psalms 49:6-7
They that trust in their
wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can
by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
