At What Expense?

At what expense are you willing to sacrifice the God in you?   What can cause you to turn and let go of God's hand?   Who can change your mind from what you say you believe?   Can temporal pleasure?   Can a television show?   Sounds simple....but people do it every day.    They lay down God for comedy.   They lay down God for music.   They lay down God for a man or woman.  

What can cause you to lay down your life in Him?  What temporary thing can cause you to give up your eternity with Him?

If anything can move you FROM Him.....then....the love that you say you have FOR Him.....is not strong enough.   It's not deep enough.   You have to love God so much that nothing in your life can become a wedge.   A wedge is something that can be driven between two things in order to bring about a separation.

What have you allowed to be a wedge between you and your relationship with God?   Who have you allowed to drive you further away from the destination called eternal life in Him?

Do a "self check" today.   Check you walk....check your talk....check you relationships....check your path.   Don't sacrifice your relationship with God for people, places, or things.   Always desire the eternal over the temporal.  

"Temporary satisfaction cannot compare to eternal salvation......"

Trust God today.....Believe God today....KNOW God today.   The love that He has for you is greater than anything you can ever imagine.   Eyes have not seen....nor ears heard....the things that God has prepared for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose....

Be FIXED today.  

Unshakable....Unmovable....Trusting.....Believing.....and Waiting on God and God alone.  Recognize distractions.....whether they come through your eyes, ears, or emotions.   Don't be tempted with the temporary.....rather be SHIFTED towards the eternal.
