Checking God IN!

I can't be a lecturer and call others out for it, because I've done it too. We all do it-we put God on a checklist and check him off. Similarly, we choose to shine our light only when we are comfortable and surrounded by other Christian disciples.  If we claim to be Christians, how come we often put God in second place?

Because we are all human, sin runs in us on a heritable chain.  Sin will bring lust, envy, and greed into our lives, and with those things is the desire to put ourselves in first. We seek after self-righteousness, rewards for our own glory, when God should be our all in all.  This simple fact in modern Christian society is the reason for the mask we choose to put on. On Sunday mornings, it's easy to testify to being a willing disciple, but during the week, it's usually about us, ALL about us.  The following verse is a verse to remind us all, God is to be our everything.

1 Corinthians 10:31

"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

As you go through the day today, be a shining light, giving God the glory every single minute.  Don't check him off for the day, check him IN for the day!
