ANOINTED WORD MINISTRIES :: Dust Bunnies in the Wind

DUST BUNNIES IN THE WIND

JoyUs Musing
Edition #10-16

All we are is dust bunnies in the wind...

This song - well, something like it* - was made popular in the seventies. The lyrics were catching and stuck with
you. People sang or hummed the song without thought.

The problem with those words is that they are not true. We are not dust, much less dust bunnies, in the wind. We
are not supposed to go through life aimlessly, without focus. We were put on this earth for a purpose and that
purpose is not to roll around like dust bunnies, gathering more and more dust until we are totally ineffective to the
Kingdom of God!

I want to make it clear that every human life is of precious value to God--special, wonderful, full of potential. The
Bible states that God has plans for us, for our welfare, not for disaster.

Jesus said that he didn't come to do His own will but His Father's will. The reason He came to earth was to destroy
the works of the devil. He also gave Himself for our sins so that He might deliver us from this present evil world.

While Jesus was here, He destroyed the works of the devil and He delivered us from every power of darkness.
Then He said to us, "Go and do likewise!"

So if God's plan for Jesus was to destroy and deliver - then that is our plan, too - to destroy the works of the
enemy and deliver people!

Not everyone is called to publicly speak, sing, or minister. Some people are called to be businessmen and
women, making money to help fund the gospel. Some are called as intercessors, interceding and supporting
through prayer. No great ministry on earth got there without prayer backup.

Sometimes we think our small little corner of the world is not important and couldn't possibly impact the Kingdom of
God. That is not true! We are called to be soldiers - great warriors - destroying and delivering!

It can be as simple as an encouraging word to someone who was getting ready to quit the ministry. The devil may
have been deceiving them into thinking they were not doing any good as a minister. One encouraging word,
spoken by you for God, and they stood up straight and went on to help hundreds get saved!

Or maybe you are to help a person see through the Word that God wants them healed of some disease or
sickness. Maybe it is to raise children who will take the world for Jesus.

Even tucking some money into a single mother's hand in church one Sunday can turn her life around and change
it forever.

Hold your own head up! Straighten your shoulders and face each day with renewed excitement and anticipation!
Realize that everything you say and do can impact the Kingdom of God in a positive way.

Whatever it is, it is important - it is not just dust bunnies in the wind!

Jer. 29:11
John 5:30
Heb. 2:15
