God in Everything
Life
is simple. Simple with God at least. I heard something somewhere a short while
back and it said “when the answer is simple, God is answering”. We live in a
fast paced world and sometimes it is difficult to measure growth as against
activity. Growth is a natural order, an order that God created so things can
get better with time, so that time can play its course through birth and death.
The bible tells us that there is a time and season for everything on this earth
and while we are here, the least we can do is enjoy each and every day with its
simplicities, beauty and functions. Not just one part of our lives should see
sunlight! We are all different in a variety of ways but we share one common
thing: Life. As long as we live, there is
an opportunity to see what God has put before us: an opportunity to laugh,
share a smile, plant, grow, invest, contribute, create, harvest, praise, pray,
worship, eat, dance, sing, play a musical instrument, learn a new game, teach a
class, learn a new skill… and the list as always is endless. So what does this
mean? To have God in everything and to know it. For starters, God in everything
means that you are not in charge. It means that to you, He is the King of
Glory, Lord of Lords and Lord of Power. It means that when things are not going
according to plan, you review whose plan you are running on, yours or God’s.
If
you want to look at it from this perspective, you look at life from the angle
of what you have been given as opposed to what you have not. Living a life as
God intends will give you peace that no one can explain, understand or fully
comprehend. Even when faced with the greatest circumstances and challenges, a
calm will come over you in the storm and you will know the value and the reason
behind your current stand. More so, if it is a troubling tide, as opposed to
solving it yourself, you will look to God through Jesus Christ, asking for Him
to show you through the Holy Spirit, what is going on and what he wants you to
do as opposed to your figuring it all out and taking credit for yourself. Your
life will have only one value; Love. When you figure out that love is all that
matters after all, it makes everything else seem so small and every action you
take, every move you make and any situation you face, all become a temporary
presence to your moments of peace and joy and love.
Struggles
are inevitable in this world, until this world ends and our perfect eternity
begins forever. Until then, as in all things, you always have a choice. A
choice to submit and Let God lead you into a life of peace, a chance to be
reborn, to live from the strength that God’s Spirit gives and not on the arms
of man that will surely fail. Dear friend, I encourage you today, to seek God
in your heart and ask Him to truly show you what it means to have Him in charge
of all you do. It might sound crazy does not mean it is not true, God is
everything to Christians or rather should be. Don’t let the world continue to
pull you in all sorts of directions of ambition, desires and endless vain
passions, instead see the world and the truth for what they really are. As
always, we wish you a wonderful life in Christ. Till our next write, Stay
Blessed.God in Everything
