CONVENIENT STORE

NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE

Most neighborhoods especially in our islands have a convenient store (corner store) with various items.  Some of them have items that you may have to go to three or five different regular stores in a shopping mall to purchase. These items range from groceries, to pharmaceuticals, auto goods, clothing, home gadgets/kitchen appliances, books, school supplies other services etc..

Some of these convenient stores are a stone throw and within short walking distance or maybe right next door.  Because of the convenience of having items all in one place they may be marked up and costs more than the regular department stores and supermarkets.  

There are also several other downsides to their convenience such as:

• Quality
• Imitation Brand
• Limited Variety
• Traffic/Noise (both people/vehicle if you live close by)
• Privacy
• Other

As you think about the facts above, the usage, costs and even inconveniences consider the usage in today's discussion.

TODAY'S TOPIC:  SPIRITUAL CONVENIENT STORE

Psalm 46:1 (KJV)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

As you reflect on the above scripture and the discussion above what are your thoughts? 

Do you think that scripture is abused by you or others?  How?

Let's discuss how God is being used in the following: 

1. Neighborhood Grocery Store
2. Express Line 
3. Customer Service Line
4. Sale/Discount Rack

Ask yourself.... Lord Am I Guilty in any of these areas? 

IF YOU ARE REPENT AND BUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CONSISTENCY AND NOT OUT OF CONVENIENCE!

Remember, if you do not want a part time relationship with your significant other... NEITHER DOES GOD - HE WANTS IT ALL OR NOTHING! 

GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP THE FAITH!
