"LIFE IS FULL OF PIG SLOP AND FISH GUTS"


Have you ever found yourself in a place where you asked "What did I do to deserve this", or "How did this happen to me, this is not what I had dreamed of for my life?" For most people, we have all found ourselves in this condition.
This week, I want to remind you, that the "Prodigal Son" (Luke 15) found himself in a place, sleeping with pigs and eating their food, only after having taken all that was his, and spending foolishly. He made poor choices and wound up in a life full of Pig Slop.
Jonah, is another "good person" who loved God, but did not want to do what God asked him too. Instead, he fled "from the presence of the Lord" and wound up, inside the belly of a fish, surrounded by "fish guts". Not what He had planned for his life.
In life, so many want the peace of God, apart from the will of God, and it simply does not work that way.
Are you wanting a better life? I can guarantee God has a better plan for you than you do. Maybe the "Pig Slop and Fish Guts" your experiencing right now, are designed by God to bring you back to Him. In both cases in scripture, when both men came to thier senses, and called upon God, He heard, and He answered and the blessings of God flowed. They simply needed an attitude adjustment.
I God trying to make an adjustment in your life? Is life a little uncomfortable? If so, maybe it's time to call upon God and ask for His help.
Change, is only a choice away!
Have a blessed week!
