But Dust
June 10, 2018
In the grand scheme of eternity we are here on earth for only a brief time, just as a vapor appears and disappears so quickly. Rather than wasting that precious time by following the ways of the world, we need to follow God’s call on our lives to honor Him in all that we do, remembering that not only do we represent Him to the world but we also carry Him around in us by His Spirit.

When it comes to living God’s way, He calls us to die to ourselves and take up our cross, which is a symbol of suffering and death. The truth is that there will always be suffering and we will all die physical deaths, but we can choose to stand before God at the end and say we did it our own way or we can hear Him say if we chose His way, “Well done.”

We so often get caught up with recognition from other people and winning trophies for earthly accomplishments. Those things are not bad to have, but we should be doing everything to bring God glory, knowing that the crown He places on our head in Heaven is worth far more than anything we could obtain on earth.

God has given us His Spirit once we make Jesus our Lord and Savior to guide us in our everyday decisions. We need to walk with the Spirit continuously so that we are always in tune to hearing His direction and following His leading.

God did not save us so that we could sit around waiting to go to Heaven. He saved us and left us here to accomplish His plan which is to seek and save all others who are lost.

The term “about face” means to turn around completely and go in the opposite direction. When Jesus died on the cross He made it possible for us to turn from the sinful life we’d been living and follow Him. When we choose to follow Christ we begin a relationship with God, and when we die one day we will have a familiar face to face encounter and we will live with Him forever in Heaven.

God created us as part of His plan to bring Himself glory when we become His children. We may not know all of His plans for us, but we can know our purpose and follow Christ so that our lives have meaning here on earth before we spend eternity with Him in Heaven.

Just as our words can be used to build others up and encourage them, they can also be used to destroy people’s lives. When we talk poorly about others, we are really only showing our own insecurities. Rather than using our words to damage, we should be using them to spread the Gospel and share Christ with others.

When we invest in and love other people in God’s family, we are showing the world what the Church is supposed to look like. Everyone needs a place to belong, and they need to see that they can belong in God’s family.

Too often we wait for other people in the Church, especially those in authority, to step up and reach those that are lost. God has given us each specific skills, all that ultimately bring Him glory by ministering to others. Instead of waiting on someone else to do it, we need to take initiative and minister in the ways that God leads us.

God doesn’t want us to come up with extravagant words and phrases when we speak to Him. He wants us to simply come to Him in prayer as His kids. When we talk about God to other people, we should do it in a way that is easy to understand, presenting the Gospel clearly and how it’s made a difference in us.
