Where is God in your Life?
Do we love God?
Yes? No? Maybe?
Many claim we do... but have you asked yourselves...
Where is God in your life?
Daniel was a man who knew where God was in his life. He was a fervent servant of God and he lived a life that showed God. King Nebuchadnezzar made a decree that no one should worship or pray to any other gods within a period of 30 days. His people are only to worship and pray to the king himself and anyone who disobeys the king’s command will be given the punishment of death.
The very moment Daniel came to know about the decree, he immediately went up to his room in the place he was staying and what he did was an act of courage inspired by faith and love. And right in front of an open window that faces the city, where eyes that are prowling around can see him – he got down on his knees and prayed to his God.
What will you do if you were in Daniel’s shoes? Will you be brave enough to even open the window while you are praying? The authorities caught Daniel and he was thrown into the lions’ den, the rest of the story you probably know – he was rescued by God.
Daniel not only knew God – like many of us do – but he also showed people where God was in his life. He wasn’t afraid of people catching him praying although the death sentence had been issued by King Nebuchadnezzar.
He wasn’t even a little shy about hiding the fact that he knew God and loved God.
So let’s back to the question.
Where is God in your life?
Do we realize that we often live our life the way we want it? We live our lives as if it is ours – not realizing who really is the Giver of life.
We live our lives the way the world lives. We only CLAIM we love God and that God is in us but we do not show it.
We claim we love God but we still use curse words.
We claim we love God but we still talk dirty.
We claim we love God but we still gossip.
We claim we love God but we still hate the guy that shouted at us.
We claim we love God but we still plot vengeance.
We claim we love God but we still choose who can be our friends.
We claim we love God but we still love only the ones that do good to us.
We claim we love God but we still reject the unpopular ones.
We claim we love God but we still go against our church leaders.
We claim we love God but we still talk bad about them.
We claim we love God but we still wake up late on Sundays.
We claim we love God but we still come only after church service.
We claim we love God but we still talk do not pray.
We claim we love God but we still do not read the Bible.
We claim we love God but we still talk only about me, myself and I.
Can you relate to any of the “We claims” stated above. That list can go on and on and on non-stop and I know that many of us can relate to many of the “We claims”. This should not be, my brothers and sisters in Christ. This should not be.
Is God the prominent One in your life or is your wealth the prominent one? Or is it your material stuff which is the prominent one? Or is it your skills and talents? Or is it the way you look? Or is it your popularity? Where then is God in your life?
Where is God in your family? Where is God in your school? Where is God in your circle of friends?
Where is God in your conversation? When boys talk about games, DOTA, cars, guitars, music and girls, they can talk for HOURS non-stop. Don’t even ask me do they feel tired sitting at the coffee shop and chit-chatting! Because you know well they don’t!
Where is God in your conversation? When girls talk about clothes, fashion, music, iPods, mobile phones, cameras and boys, they can also talk for HOURS non-stop. Now these are facts undebatable and unrefutable. We can talk about a whole string of stuff; the most famous one would be GOSSIP.
But only 5% of our daily conversation has God inside.
So are we now MORE enthusiastic about the opposite sex, fashion, mobile phones, accessories and gossip THAN God?
Where is God in your life? This section may be hurting to those who are sensitive but well, I have to say what I have to say. I am not pointing fingers at anyone here so don’t get me wrong. Get ready...
Where is God in your life?
Where is God in your BLOG?
A blog is like an online diary right? Just that this diary can be read by all. And a diary is a book or now even a blog where we can tell people about our daily happenings, our frustration, our happiness, our sorrows, our dreams, our life. We blog because we want to tell people about our lives.
But where is God in your blog? All we read is something like,
“Today at school my teacher was absent, and we had a whole load of fun taking pictures, chit-chatting.......”
or something like,
“My friend pissed me off today. He was suppose to pick me up but last minute he called and gave a stupid lame excuse and I have to f****** take a taxi to Mid Valley! Gosh! I hate you ***!...”
Read this kind of post before?
If a blog is about your life and if God is suppose to be in your life then where is God in your blog?
Blog = Life
Life = God
so
Blog = God
Enough said here. Ponder about you have read. Get mad at me if you want. Say I am a fanatic if you want. Post something bad in my cbox if you want. Sue me if you want. Hate me if you want. Curse me if you want. I just want to ask you...
Where is God in your life?
Is your life so BIG that everyone can see but
God so SMALL that He can hardly be seen?
This post was not targeted specifically at anyone. If you feel offended, I am sorry. I understand that not many of you out there experience God daily in life. I was once like you and I sometimes am too. What I can tell you now is this...
Psalm 145:18
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Jeremiah 29:13-14
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord.
So let God shine. Let Him be known through you.
Let Him be known through the way you talk, the way you react to situations, the way you live.
Let Him be known through your life.
Put God back into your life.
Matthew 5:14-16
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before men,
that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Once again,
Where is God in your life?
