What are we training for? PT2
Yesterday in Church we looked at the idea of becoming a Contagious Church/Contagious Christian, We discovered How we are responsible to make God unavoidable to every human inhabiting this earth – what a challenge! The Christian life seems to have become for me anyway a constant struggle/battle/challenge (a bit of all 3) to improve my standards, actions and everything about me, This Training programs just seems to never end.
Every time I look in the mirror I see many imperfections, So trying to understand that God sees deeper than that, that He sees a deep beauty inside me sometimes can cause me t0 get totally lost in trying to understand God. The Facts are that His Love towards me is just unexplainable, unquantifiable and unending. Unfortunately though I see a parallel at times with Gods Love and my sin, and i hate it! I hate this constant struggle to die to self, its so hard at times, Satan has glamorised Sin, often I think it’s a little easier for those in poor countries were materialism is not a problem. But then I can’t even imagine how I could cope not knowing were my next meal would come from.
We only get to do this life once, Everyday now I’m asking questions now like…
- What do I want to do in life that will Last when I’m gone?
- How do I want my kids and friends to remember me?
- Who have i offended in the past that I need to apologise to?
- Am I fulfilling my role as a Husband, Father & Employee?
God is in the business of making us clean vessels, the problem is we keep tripping in the mud, Today I urge you and I to…
1.Identify the ‘stuff” you do that you don’t like
2.Get away from the ‘stuff’ that keeps tripping us up
3.Rely and Depend more on God, Get Deeper with God!
4.Ask for Help, we all try to hard to do life alone!
Lets run and finish this race together for Gods Glory!
