Principal purpose!
“And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.”
2 Chronicles 31:21 KJV
What is your principal purpose? What are you good at? What holds your interest, to the point that you forget to eat? What do you think about all the time; even while laying in bed, trying to go to sleep?
Is it God?
You who know the stats for your favorite team back 20 years; you whose house get remodeled every year; you who shop every opportunity and will buy something new, because it's on sale, even though it is not a need; you who work in the yard every free moment; shouldn't you all be giving the same, if not more attention, to the things of God?
Do you even think about the things of God, when you are away from church?
You call yourself a Christian and believe, (because you were told by your denomination) that you are going to heaven, yet only call on God when you are facing a storm!
That is not making God a priority! That is not dying to self! He is not your "Principal Purpose"!
You have made the god you worship in your own image!
The reason I know, is - I'm describing myself a couple of years ago! I was there! But then God opened my eyes while reading my Bible! I'm not exactly sure how it happened, I'm only thankful that it did! I love being radical!
The God in the Old and New Testaments IS a jealous God and will not be second, to your wants or desires!
As a friend reminded us in Sunday School, a couple of weeks ago, about the bumper sticker that said "God Is My Co-Pilot"; if that's you - you need to change seats! Cause if He's NOT flying your plane; you are "off course"!
The very best; most important, and hardest thing I have ever done in my life, was to listen to the cd "The Power of Forgiveness"; make my list and then follow through, by meeting with friends and confessing my sins!
It changed my life!
Because of humbling myself; choosing to forgive those who have hurt me; and repenting for holding onto that sin of unforgiveness for sooooo many years; I'm free!
Now, He can be my "Principal Purpose" and I am prospering in all my ways!
If you are tired of the same ol'grind, if there's no end in sight for your hopeless situation - repent and seek God!
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 KJV
He will do for you, what He did for me!
Even so - MARANATHA!
