"There is not one inch in the entire area of our human life about which Christ, who is Sovereign of all, does not cry out, "Mine!" " -Abraham Kuyper
This quote is the reason we must hold loosely the things we have been given: time, talent, and treasures, and hold tightly to God. If we live to protect the things we have been given, than our energy is spent on things that will not last, but if our energy is spent on declaring and representing the name of God than our energy will be spent on bringing Him glory. Where is your time spent, on things that will last or on maintaining life? Where is your energy going? Pray we would be a people that care for God first and that His effect on us would enter every area of life. Whether we admit it or not...all is His...so let us live that way.
Thank you for reminding us that most of our daily mundane tasks are just that unless we take the opportunity to witness and care for others.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most difficult challenges for a Christian to do. What is being asked is to give up our trust in stuff and all that gives us security, and trust completely in God. The rich young ruler who came to Jesus took a pass on this offer. Let us pray we don't make the same decision. Thanks, Ryan.
