Is Christ your all?

Christ Himself tells us in Matt 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

This should be our focus. Whether we are in the missions field or just working our 9 to 5 jobs. You don't have to travel to some foreign country to be used by God mightily. No matter where the Lord might be placing us that's our mission field. It's important to remember this. Be satisfied where your at and let God use you there. This doesn't mean that He'll keep you there forever but for the time He wants to use you there.

It's also important not to rush God or complain where your at. His timing is most perfect. Think about it He already knows what's going to happen years up the road where as we only see just the tiniest sliver. And don't you think that He has the best things in store for His children. Jesus said in Luke 11:11-13 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? V 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? v 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

The Lord gives good gifts to us His children. So trust in Him He has the best in store for you if you are His child. If your not then you can be. It's not hard. Ask Him into your life. Just talk to Him like you would talk to anyone else. He's listening. Then repent, this means to do a 180 and complete turn around not going back to what you left. Dropping your bad life style, bad friends, bars, clubs, sex what ever the case may be for you. And if you think this is just to hard, don't worry He's with you every step of the way. He'll never leave you. Check out this verse in Psalm 37:23 and 24. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. v 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand. So even if we may fall He will always be there to help us back up. The Lord knows where not perfect and won't ever be on this earth this is why He sent His only Son to this earth to die a sinners death so that we may be free. Free to have a guiltless life, free to live and worship Him and all his glory. And just know that He's always there running the race with us.

Now this doesn't mean we sin without regard for the apostle Paul says in Romans 6:1 and 2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? v 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? This again is repentance. Walking away and never looking back. Dying to this sin. If something dies it doesn't come back, it's gone and this is what Paul is saying we do with our sins. This is not imposable as children of God because it's Jesus Christ within us fighting the battle and not us. But for a person living in the world without Christ this is imposable. Choose life, choose Christ.
