Are You Becoming Relaxed In Today's Society and Fitting In Instead Of Standing Out For God?

Are you representing God well?   Are  you allowing the people in your circle of influence to see just how good God is in your life?

We have become such a relaxed society.   We don't press into the beauty of God's holiness.    When something is beautiful, it carries within it a standard of excellence.   Are you pressing towards God's mark or are your becoming comfortable in the world's way of doing things?   In life we can become so comfortable with the world's way of doing things that we fail to raise the bar for others to press towards God's way of doing things.

God gave and still gives us His best and yet we sometimes minimize His blessings.   When He gives us a nice home, we fail to open it up for His people.   When He gives us nice clothes, we choose to wear jeans to go and worship Him.   When He increases our finances, we fail to tithe and give offerings.    Why should He continue to bless us if we fail to use His blessings correctly?  

What we have to understand is our blessings are not just for us.   God blesses us to be a blessing.   He blesses us so that others can see the significant difference that comes about when you serve God.    He doesn't bless us so that we can fit in, He blesses us so that we can stand out for Him.   He doesn't bless us to walk in pride and arrogance, He blesses us to humility and strength.   

We have to stop trying to fit in and start standing out for God and His Kingdom.    God loves us and we have to share that love with the people around us.     People need to know that when they are willing and obedient, they shall eat the good of the land.   If you look and act like they do, how will they know that God has called them to be different.

1 Peter 2:9 - But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
