What do we really believe?
What do you really believe? Is it that the only thing that matters is God? Is it that the only thing I need is grace? If God was all that was left, and if grace was all I had, would I remain faithful? Would I still raise my hands in worship?
Psalms 63:3 says “God’s love is better than life.” My life is pretty good. I have many things. I don’t say this out of pride, but because I struggle with determining of which I am more thankful. Do I love all the things that I have more than God’s love? I go to church a couple times a week. I even preach at least once a week. But, I also go to Wal-Mart at least once a week. I read my Bible everyday, but I also watch hours of tv everyday. So which is really more important?
I can say that I love God more than anything, but the real answer to that question is evident in the way that I live. I once heard it said that God gives us money not so that we can enjoy it and do as we please, but so that we can spend it like we love God more than it. God blesses me so that I can bless others. Likewise, my health is not for me to enjoy and take advantage of, but so that I can better serve God. Am I my master’s servant or just a friendly acquaintance that stops by for the occasional visit? I pray that I would live my life as if God was all I have.
