Our
perception of God influences every area of our [existence].* What is your
opinion on this very insightful statement? Colossians 1:16 (MSG) says, “For everything…got started in Him and finds
its purpose in Him. He… holds it all together right up to this moment.”
We
are all created in the image of God, doesn’t that mean that some part of the
Almighty influences our every interaction at home, work, church, or in our
recreational pursuits?
If
you make a godly decision in a stressful situation; you have obeyed your
Heavenly Father. When a poor unfortunate soul deserves condemnation from you,
but instead you breathe encouragement into their heart; a loving Heavenly
Father is evident in your life.
Galatians
1:15 (MSG) says, “When I was still in my
mother’s womb He chose and called me out of sheer generosity.” Whether you
believe it or not, God is pursuing you. Has He caught you yet? As His child
(rebellious or submissive), you are of great value to Him. Can you see that?
As
your Creator (and Architect), He knows the best path for your life that will
provide the greatest sense of personal satisfaction. Can you allow someone else in the driver’s
seat of your existence? (Giving up control can be scary.)
So,
the ultimate question boils down to this: Will you listen to the lies of the
Devil, or trust the wisdom of the Almighty? Only you can make that choice.
