Our church has been going through the study The Blessed Life, and it has truly been a blessing to me. We recently viewed a dvd where the minister asked the question "Who is first in your life?"
As Christians, most of our knee-jerk answers would be God. Yet, if we would take a close, honest look at our day-to-day activities and behavior, God is not anywhere near first at all.
We may acknowledge Him, pray, and even read our Bibles every now and then. However, those times are often significantly shorter and occur less frequently than the times we spend watching tv, partaking in our favorite hobbies, and doing all the other things that take up our time every day. Even if we get a surprise block of time, do we even think to give some to God? (Be honest!)
We serve a jealous God. He wants all of us. He knows that we have to work, take care of our families, and have time for ourselves. He understands that. He's looking at our hearts. Our hearts reveal what we truly love. Our hearts show where we've placed our devotion. Do our hearts reflect our spoken love for God? Or, are we just giving Him lip service?
Just a thought to kick off your week. Let's love on God in both word and deed this week. Remember, as we pour out our love on Him, He will pour out His love on us, and our God is a fabulous giver!
Verse of the Day: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21
