Prayer: I bless Your name today, 0 Lord, for You alone are good. Thank You for Your goodness to me. I am excited about what You have in store for me today.
I want to make the most out of every opportunity. You have called me to be salt and light in a lost and dying world. I am reporting for duty, my King and my God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Verse: “And Elijah came to all the people, and said, ‘How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” I KINGS 18:21
Have you ever tried to live with one foot in the church and one foot in the world? Have you ever tried to serve God and serve yourself at the same time. . . to have your cake and eat it, too? That kind of living is akin to straddling the fence.
It is faltering and hesitating between following after God and following after your own selfish pursuits and the false gods of money, materialism, power, and pleasure.
As Elijah challenged the people on Mount Carmel, God is challenging you today to make a decision in your life. If God is truly God (and He is), you need to follow Him with all your heart and give him the best of your life anything less is sloppy seconds.
Half-hearted, fence-straddling devotion to Christ makes God sick Revelation 3:16 – So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
The time is now to get off the fence and serve the Lord with all that is within you. He has a job for you to do, and that job is to let Him have His way in you so that others would smell the sweet “fragrance of His knowledge in every place” (2 Cor. 2:14).
Are you ready to decide? Fences make bad seats and have no place in the life of a Christian! You decide what kind of Christian are you? Or yet what kind of person are you? Then do the right thing. The right action in your life to him will have it’s blessings.
Amen
May God bless you and the Lord be with you.
