Todays message starts off as follows, "…We can not prevent God from accomplishing His work in the world around us, but we can quench His spirit in our lives…"
Powerful words… We have no control over God and what He does. He is almighty and all powerful; what He says, goes…However, we do have control over how much of Him we let into our lives. With that kind of "power" or control, it's so easy to misuse it. There are times when we feel invincible, unbeatable, and so independent that there is no reason for God. Guess what? There is NEVER a reason to not have God. Toby Mac (the musician) said in an interview once, "…I realized then that God was not longer a PART of my life, that He WAS my life…" If we all lived like that, if we had the confidence in Jesus Christ that Toby has, what an amazing world we would live in.
Don't put Jesus on the back burner, don't make Him an afterthought. There are so many idols in our lives that we "Think" we can't live without, so why don't we give Jesus the same amount of attention and praise that we do to worldly concerns?
