Eliminating "Self" Breaks

Isn't it funny how we always ask God to help us, to heal us, to provide for us....yet we are not consistent in what we do for Him.   We are very consistent when we know we need something from Him.   Yet in the "after" stages, we tend to become slack.   After we feel better, after He has provided for us, after we have received the job....instead of staying in a place of gratitude and thanksgiving, we tend to go back to business as usual.   We don't pray with the same fervency.   We don't read with the same eagerness and we don't obey.  

It's almost as though we treat God as a vending machine,   We put something in our walk and our relationship only when we want to get something out.   Not realizing that this walk is a "life walk".   Not realizing that our total dependence has to be in Him and on Him.   Not realizing that every time we lay the things of God down, we lose ground.   We lose time.   

It's time to maximize the time we have here on earth.   It's time we utilize every moment that God has given us.   It's time we move forward in the plan, purpose and vision of God while eliminating our  "self breaks".   The time we spend on indulging in "self".   Self pity, self motivation, selfishness.   

God needs you and you have to be "on call" at all times.   You have to be ready to pray in season and out of season.   You have to be ready to lay hands on the sick, open blind eyes, minister to the poor, the broken hearted and down trodden.   You cannot do that if all you see is self.   You cannot do that if all you are seeking is self gratification.   

You have to see beyond your own circumstances into the heart of God.   The heart of God will reveal His love and passion for this world.    Take on the attitude that "this life is not your own"....give yourself away to be used by God.
