In the Meantime
January 27, 2015
We all face difficulties in our lives when life seems to be mean, but we always have a choice on how we will handle it. If we trust God in the meantime and focus on His purpose for allowing those times, we are filled with His sustaining peace and joy and He is able to use us to reach others.

The excuses for why God shouldn’t pick us are endless, however He picked us anyway. When we pick Him back, He works in and through our lives to accomplish His work. We need to be humbled by the fact that we are chosen, and we need to respond by giving Him our lives to do with as He pleases.

God can choose anyone He wants to exalt to a position of leadership, but whether He chooses us for that or not we must remember that our lives are meant to magnify Him. When others look at our lives they should see God’s greatness through the hope that we cling to in all circumstances.

Our motivation when giving needs to be bringing God glory, so we must give in response to His calling. The Bible speaks about the necessity of giving, not so that others are provided for but more than that, it’s about our hearts. God gives to us so that we can give to others in response to trusting Him and thanking Him for the blessings He’s given.

The Christian life is about constant pursuit of God through Scripture and gathering together as believers. Instead of letting the change He’s made in our lives fade out and get to a point of rejecting Him, we must be intentional about not going back to our old lives and instead pressing on to learn about Him more and allow Him to continue molding and shaping us.

Not many people have something in their life that they would die for. In a relationship with Jesus Christ He desires a commitment from us that we give our whole lives to Him. The Bible teaches that we are to be a living sacrifice to God, living and doing all things for Him.

We are incapable in and of ourselves not only to be willing to do what’s right, but even to follow through and do it. God walks with us through the process of making us willing first, and as we allow Him to work in us He follows through with the doing.

We often put sin on a scale and say that some sin is too bad to be forgiven while our sins aren’t bad enough to keep us out of Heaven. The truth is that, because of Christ’s sacrifice, God offers grace and forgiveness to everyone regardless of their sin. We need to see our sin for what it is, all of it separating us from God, and turn around in gratitude that He has washed us clean.

When we face difficulties in our lives, it’s easy to want to go back to the past when life seemed easier. God wants to use those difficulties to grow our faith in Him so that we can receive His spiritual blessings that we would never have if we went back.

While the world tells us to hate our enemies, hold grudges, and sin in this way or that way, Jesus tells us to live backwards according to the world’s standards. The only way we can do this is when He is living in us, and when we live this way we realize that we are really living forwards in the way He designed us to live.

We must be willing to open our mouths and speak when God prompts us to because He will give us the words to say and we can trust Him to use what we say to reach the people we’re talking to. God wants to speak to us and through us but we have to let Him use us the way He wants to.
