Bold, Off Brand Coffee

I recently have found out some of my favorite coffees are not the name brand that have commercials or even any I have ever heard of.  They are the ones I am finding at the dollar store and the ones that are on clearance because they are not selling.  In other words, they are not popular, tho they are very much an important part of my day. 


This made me think of our walk as followers of the Most High God.  For it is written:  
"Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar." Psalm 138:6
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” James 4:6


ALSO:


The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.  Proverbs 28:1

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. Acts 4:31


We need not be those that stand out and are lifted up by man to be a great asset to God's Kingdom.  Matter of fact the Lord said in many places that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. (Mark 10:31, Luke 13:30) Remember this when you do not think you are making an impact for Christ's sake.

Remember, His people have been labeled as "peculiar" or better translated as "set apart".
2 Peter 2:9-10 says:  "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy."

So, walk in the boldness and love of your Heavenly Father today.  His Spirit will lift you up when you feel like an "off brand" and lowly at heart!
