Are we being responsible or are we being fearful? When we are experiencing something in our lives that is not bringing us contentment or fulfilment or satisfaction and we do nothing about it, are we being responsible and accepting life's "card" for us or are we simply afraid....afraid of the unknown, or afraid of change? We can be more specific in using an example of our current relationship or current job situation. Are either satisfied fully? Judge the tree by the fruit. Ask yourself....am I being fulfilled? Is my current situation hindering my Christian walk in any way? Am I exemplifying God in my workplace? Is God even present in my current relationship? Am I ignoring God's voice and choosing to play it safe or am I in God's will for my life? Are my priorities spiritual or secular? Those are tough questions to ask but we all need to self examine ourselves. We allow ourselves to be evaluated at our workplace for our professional life so isn't our personal life more important than how well we teach our class or how quickly we type a letter? Why is God always the last in people's lives and not front, center and ever present? I am as guilty as the next when I was working and making a good living and traveling and living the high life but my you know what? My job did not allow me time to attend church....I was always working weekends and nights so I was never home to attend Saturday's 6:30pm or Sunday's 9am or 11am. I was either on the road on my way to work or already there. And it eventually took its toll and caught up to me and I had to face the reality that it came between me and God. He had to come to me through another person to tell me He was not pleased with me. That I had placed so many other things and people in front of Him. I was so ashamed. So believe me, I understand where you are. I was there. But we all have our own story. I am simply posing the question to you ... are you living your life right and living it for God? Is He the center of your life?
Hebrews 11: 6 and Proverbs 3: 5-6
