Each day we are faced with choices we have to make. What to eat, what to wear, and a whole lot of whats and wheres.
The decisions we make as children of God are to reflect God in us. We have been saved and therefore have been called to live lives that are heaven bound. He has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time (2 Timothy 1:9)
Modernity and Civilisation may have created new standards of life, alien to God's Word. The temptation to join in the parade is real. However we should stand our ground.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2)
It is in choosing God's standards over worldly standards that sets us apart for him. We should build a relationship with God, finding out His will for our lives through his Word. Maintaining a constant communication link between us and God will enable us to stay within his will for our lives.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. Help me Lord to live my life through heaven's eyes.
And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen!
