Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

1 Cor 3:19-23
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS." So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God. NASU
You have so much! No, I’ve not lost my mind this morning. In the middle of these tough economic times I can rejoice in all that is mine, you and I are rich. Now you may be smart enough to figure otherwise, but if you are, you’re caught. That’s right you are caught in the riptide of the world and it will pull you further and further away from the truth that God wants you to walk with in this world.
In 1 Tim 6:17 Paul tells Timothy, “ Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.” Now how many things did Paul say we were supplied with? All! Yes, everything that you and I need on this earth will be supplied to us, even Paul’ and all the other people or things that will keep us safe.
So, let’s you and I today boast of our riches. That’s right! Tell others that you are financially, and emotionally secure, for you have no need to fear anything. It’s right there in God’s Word, claim it and keep it. God gives to us wonderful security as He speaks through the Apostle Paul. All things belong to us, we belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God, Glory Hallelujah, we are safely hidden in Christ…God Bless.
