Ch. 7: Your best life...later
By now Im sure you've realized that you have a choice to make. You can let life happen or you can actively run toward Christ.
It's impossible to please God in any other way than whole hearted surrender!
"Do you want to see God more than you desire security?" This is what it all comes down to. Are you going to trust God with your whole life or just a part of it?
Christian's like to play it safe. We dont leave a lot left for God to take care of, just in case it doesnt happen the way we want it to.
"How would our lives change if we actually treated everyone we came into contact with as Christ?" Would our lives change?
"What are we doing right now that requires faith?" Are you doing anything????
Our prayers are heard by the same God who told Noah to build the Ark (and then fulfilled His promise for a flood) and and who raised raised Joseph from a slave to second in command over the land. God is still doing mighty things in our lives just like He did in the lives of those we read about in the Bible.
Even with all of that being true, we still compare ourselves to other Christians all the time. We dont see how God has blessed us; we only see how God has blessed them. We have to stop focusing on other people's relationship with Christ and bring our attention back to our own relationship with Him. Then we will be able to see the world through His eyes and seek out the "least of these" around us.
