1 Samuel 12:24 “But be sure to fear the lord and faithfully serve Him. Think of all the wonderful things He has done for you.”
I love that last part, “…Think of all the wonderful things He has done for you.” All you need to do is think of Him sending His only Son to die fro us. We have received such a gift of eternal life, and we have directions and the Holy Spirit to guide us everyday. We work so hard to please people and we neglect the most important thing; learning and living like Christ. We need to live our lives as Christ did unselfishly, but we struggle with selfishness everyday. It’s hard to be unselfish that’s why it is so important to open God’s word and read it as our owners manual for right living. God was so amazing to put it together so we have something to go to for our wisdom. It is so easy to fill ourselves with crud because crud is always happening around us. We need to realize that God’s word is also there everyday and we need to open it and live it. Why are we so easily persuaded to follow the new craze and learn how to use it so well we master it, but when it comes to being a fully devoted follower of Jesus, the only thing that matters, we can’t give it anytime at all? Just think of the time you spend doing insignificant things throughout your day, and then think of how many times you don’t give God a minute because you are busy or tired. Nothing should come before God. Jesus put nothing in front of Him and we are told to be like Christ. Open God’s word and truly be devoted to follow it and see your heart change. Amen
