It is all or
nothing. There is no being half saved or
half lost. Jesus didn’t half give His
life for our sin. No, the entire glory
of God was felt through the gracious gift of the son of God on the cross, to
the tomb and now risen. He deserves it
all from us.
As I closed out the day yesterday there were many things going through
my mind. The day began with a group of
men that have my heart and who have my back.
The day continued with serving along side a group of people who never
tire of giving second chances. The
evening was spent in a not so comfortable place but with my sweet wife and then
dinner as a family. I love those
times. But the day ended listening to
and being part of another team that is making a difference and seeking God for
even more.
What do all of those have in common?
They are all in. We must be all
in with our God. Here are just a few
verses to drive home this point (at least in my head and heart):
Great is the
Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
He is to be feared above all gods.
All
praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father
and the source of all comfort.
You
are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you!
Now
all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to
accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Now
all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you
with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.
Be
exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all
the earth.
Will
my day and my life give all the praise and all the glory to God? Far to often the answer is no because people
want the glory for themselves. It is
time for God to take first place and for us to step back.
All
glory to our great and gracious God!
