Taking Inventory

 Inventory - To make a complete list.

There are 11 occurrences of the word Inventory In the Bible....

  • Genesis 24:10
  • Exodus 38:21
  • Numbers 11:22
  • Numbers 31:26
  • Numbers 3:16
  • 1 Chronicles 9:28
  • 1 Chronicles 25:1
  • Ezra 1:9
  • Ezra 1:11
  • Ezra 8:3 
One stands out to me - Job 14:16 (ISV)- “ Then you’ll certainly count every step I took, but you won’t keep an inventory of my sin.

This is comforting to know that unlike me when I inventory my thrift items and count them God does not keep a record or count. Each day is a chance to get it right. So you didn’t read your Bible, you didn’t pray  for someone or simply you didn’t treat someone nicely. Understand it is not the end waking up daily gives you another chance to do things differently or the same. 

God is not sitting somewhere writing down or taking inventory of your sins, failures or even your successes. what he is doing is waiting on you to accept and come to him with out reservations. He is wanting you to commit your life to him and live in the greatness of being in his family.

We should take personal inventory of our lives and look at how we are living . Can we say that we are living in  Gods words and promises to us? Can we say that we are spending time studying, and meditating on His word ? Do we treat others with the same love and compassion that God shows us? Do you extend Grace and Mercy to others? Use these questions to start your on inventory and begin to repent, repair and release those things that do not fall under Gods word.
