What Consumes You!

What Consumes You!

What is important to you? What makes you get up in the morning? What is your motivation for doing whatever you do every day of your life?

These are questions that most of us don’t even consciously consider day to day, but in reality we should. As you grow physically and spiritually, more opportunities will come along that will test your motivation for your daily decisions.

Recently my wife went to a funeral of a very close relative. This death was especially sad because they were not a believer. They were a good moral person but they had not made the most important decision that can be made. That is to accept the free gift of salvation.

Are you motivated to share this free gift with others? There are so many times when the Lord gives us opportunities and we brush them aside saying “ next time, I am to busy right now”, or “what do I say”. You might only have one opportunity.

As a believer when you are lead by the Holy Spirit you open up yourself for amazing opportunities to be a light in the darkness.

Matthew 6:20, 21 say “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven….” and “..where your treasure is there your heart will also be”.

Looking back to the questions that we started with, is the answer to those questions something that could be laid in heaven? Remember that what you treasure the most will consume you.

I pray that you will make living for God no matter what the cost your treasure and in doing that, the Word will come alive to you. It won’t just be words on a page, but it will be heart changing and life changing.
