My prayer today as I woke up was for Christ to take me "all the way". A new song from Matthew West captures this thought perfectly. Sometimes I believe that in the business of life, we often get tied down with responsibilities and expectations that have been laid on us. I don't think that there is anything wrong with being busy, but I do think that Satan can use our hectic lives to distract us from our main goal.
When I sit back and think about it, reality hits me like a train. Our number one priority is to worship and serve our Lord, yet so often we just go through the motions of Christianity while we are working out hardest trying to succeed in life. I think that we must realize that success is temporal, as are our possessions, social status, and honestly our relationships. The only thing in this life that hold true permanence is our most important relationship, the one with our Father.
If you are honest with yourself, how much of you time do you spend investing in that relationship comparative to the time we spend investing in success?
This life we live, the air we breathe, the fact that we are relational beings, the blessings we receive every moment...it was all given to us by our Father who watched His own Son be brutally murdered in order for us to have these free conveniences. In spite of this fact, we still mock His sacrifice by NOT living out our relationship with Christ.
Complacency is a fatal epidemic.
I think it's time to break free from complacency, and start living this life for the way our Father intended.
Wouldn't you hate to look back at your life and say... "What if I had given everything....."
