What do you “really” worship? Most worship their god. So who or what is your god?
One thing is for sure, we worship what we love and what we love can easily become our god.
So be honest, what occupies your thoughts, feelings, emotions, time, energy and your money? What ever it is, most likely it could be your god or idol.
Jesus said himself “Your heart will be where your treasure is.” (Matthew 6:21 NCV) What do you treasure?
The Apostle Paul told the Corinthians “The devil who rules this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe. They cannot see the light of the Good News—the Good News about the glory of Christ, who is exactly like God.” (2 Corinthians 4:4 NCV)
So the devil rules this world. However it’s not a rule that cannot be overcome. God has given Satan freedom for now.
The Apostle John said “We are judged by this fact: The Light has come into the world, but they did not want light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things.” (John 3:19 NCV) Christ is the light and Satan is the darkness.
Why do people choose darkness? God only knows. I feel this is a very dangerous place to live. Because Satan is not your friend. He desires to kill, steal and destroy.
There are those who think and even know that God Almighty should be their God and worship him. Yet they don’t.
So why don’t people love God? The simple answer is that they love other things. Even Jesus said “Whoever is not with me is against me. Whoever does not work with me is working against me. (Matthew 12:30 NCV)
He went on to say “So I tell you, people can be forgiven for every sin and everything they say against God. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.” (Matthew 12:30-31 NCV)
This means if you reject the calling of the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, that is a sin that will never be forgiven. Meaning, that person is destined to hell.
Only the Holy Spirit can open the mind, and only you and I can make a personal choice to trust and believe. We don’t have to follow the darkness.
The truth is that God is the one that provides the commands that are in our bests interest and success. Many know this in the back of their mind, yet other things and other people take priority in their life. I understand it, because I use to be one of those people. But there is a better way.
One day, we will die and everything we may have loved on this old earth will go to someone else. The only things that last forever are God, Christ, The Holy Spirit, People and God’s words. There is nothing better than to invest in eternal things. Why not love things that will be here for eternity?
It not only saves out soul for eternity, it improves our life right now.
LORD, help us to love you and make you priority. Help us to be inspired to learn about you, your words and follow Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. IJNIP amen ♥️
