Good Morning! ~ Leftovers For God

Read - Genesis 18:1-9

Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. Genesis 18:2

Leftover’s flavors intensify the next day.  I guess it’s something about the seasonings that gives the food more flavor. It is okay to feed our family day old food but would you serve it to a stranger, friend, dignitary, or even Jesus?

Well most of us would. God ask for our best yet more often than not we give leftovers.  Not just to our Father in heaven but to everyone, friends and strangers. 

Three strangers came to visit Abraham unannounced.  Instead of turning them away he ran and greeted them enthusiastically. He went as far as having his wife bake fresh bread; he selected his prime beef and served up a feast.

Abraham entertained the men with excitement he treated them like family. God takes notice of our genuine willingness to help others – friends and strangers.  

The relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost should improve. Our good Godly manners should teach us how to honor all men. By doing so, we will always give our best to God and not our leftovers. 

It Could Have Been Worse

“I was going through some changes in my life cussin and complainin every night tellin God the way he treatin me ain't right and how I don’t deserve this then a voice somewhere came to me and said you have the audacity  to fix your mouth to disrespect how soon we forget.” 


Sound like something you have said or heard before right? In part, these are lyrics from an artist who has been dubbed a “social minded singer”, Lyfe Jennings.


While listening to this song I was touched from the raw passion of the message. It also gave me a new found respect for the creative pen of this Platinum-selling R&B singer. The song’s title is It Could Have Been Worse, though it’s a secular song there’s a spiritual message for all which illustrate what people are experiencing daily. Folk face pain and frustration which desensitize them to the point of disconnection from the life line Jesus the Christ. Every so often we need a little nudge to bring us back to a humbling state. This song is that jolt.


I want you to please click the link It Could Have Been Worse listen, to the message and feel the emotion. I want to hear back from you please reply with your testimony.


“It coulda been worse, you coulda lost everything shoulda lost everything but somebody’s watching you and gave you another chance yeah!”
