Are you trying to get God to move on your behalf while you do nothing for Him? A lot of times we say that we are waiting patiently for God to move but the question is, what are you doing in the wait? Are you walking in obedience to God’s Word, His will, and His way or are you doing the same old thing expecting God to overlook your acts of disobedience because you know that He is a loving, just, and forgiving God? Do you realize that just as you can walk in willful obedience, there is also a thing call willful disobedience.
God loves us and He wants our lives to shine bright for Him. He wants us to be His representatives here in the earth but we have to be determined to represent Him well. People look at us and in some case it is how they see us that helps them to make choices in their lives. What choices do you want your children to make based on what they see in you? What choices do you want your neighbors and your co-workers to make? Do you want them to see the God in you or are you busy entertaining them with your flesh?
Life is full of choices and we choose what we do, how we do it, and when. We can choose God now. We can choose to walk in obedience now. We can choose to represent Him well now. Or, we can choose to represent the world and all that is in it. It’s a matter of life or death and we have to choose who and what we will serve.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Joshua 24:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
