The Dump by Rod Parsley

The Dump He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the Lord's; upon them he has set the world. 1 Samuel 2:8 I walked through the filth and decay of a garbage dump and watched three small boys scavenging through the dump trucks for anything to eat. I thought, "Surely, God does not want His people living in a dump. He wants to lift them out and bring them to a higher place." I felt compassion for the young ones and their families who live there. Then my mind went to all those others who are also living in dumps. Have you considered if you might be living in another kind of garbage dump? Perhaps you're living in a situation that is less than God's best for you. Maybe it is what is going on inside you... the secret sin that has turned your spiritual life into its own dump. Maybe you've even convinced yourself that a dump is all you deserve or that you'll never have anything better. Maybe you've lived there for so long you're used to it. Know that God doesn't want you to stay there. Today He's offering you a better life. Are you ready to move? Further Reading 1 Samuel 2:9 Galatians 4:9 Galatians 5:1
