Coke with Lemon/Lime 11-2-08

Have you ever tried drinking coke with lemon/lime? Sometimes people just like to changed the taste of coke and add stuff like lemon or lime. Today at night time I was drinking lemon/lime with coke because my dad was drinking it so I was like 'ok let's have coke with lemon/lime'.

Now how does that relate to devotion for today? If you think that we are the cup that the coke is poured in and coke is sin. Coke would probably be filled the whole cup right? So it represent us having sin in our life the whole time. Lemon/lime is God. Well most people who drink coke with lemon/limes knows that after putting lemon/lime in coke, the taste of lemon/lime would be tasted when drinking the coke. Like this lemon/lime or God is helping us with our sin. See how coke absorb the sourness of lemon/lime. It is like God is taking over the control of sin in our lives because we asked Him for help.

Sometimes in life, we have at least one struggle. Well, what would be your first response? Friends, God, Bible, or yourself? God gave us the ability for free will so we get to pick but doesn't sometimes we just take for granted of God's mercy. Like we know its not right to do this but we did the not right thing because we know that God would forgive us. Isn't that like taking God's grace for granted? Is that what we are suppose to do? I don't think so. What God intended for us to do was to fight our sin and TRY not to sin it but of course we sometimes fall into it. The only thing that matter is our attitude. Are we taking God's grace for granted or not?

This is my last word to you. Are you taking God for granted? If you are, why are you taking it for granted and do you think it is right?

Philippians 1:29-30

29For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, 30since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
