Acts 17:27-28 “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward Him and find Him- though He is not far from any one of us. For in Him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His off spring.”
Do we seek after Him for our every need? Do we truly believe what the bible tells us? And are we willing to learn and grow to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ? These are questions that we need to ask ourselves as we grow and mature in our relationship with God. Jesus says in Matthew 7:13-14 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few even find it.”
Are we satisfied with mediocrity and only doing some things God explains to us, or do you desire to get on the difficult road and give it all to God? We are called to be Christ like and Christ obeyed the Father and did everything the Father told Him. We must be willing to say I truly believe and want to know more and then follow what we learn by living it out. When God is the center of our lives we will strive to do all we can to be obedient and that means serving, giving and loving just as we are shown in God’s word. Don’t sit back and hope the ride takes you to the narrow road, let God drive you there. Then you will experience all the strength, joy and love He promises through our trials and tribulations. The difficult road is going to be a constant dying to self and living for others but the end result is so worth it. Seek Him in all you do and obey everything even when it is not the easy thing to do. Amen
