Giving It All You Got!

I can remember my high school football coach telling me " Leave it all on the field Myers cause the measure in which you slack off is the measure in which you will get beat by". This principle is applicable to all areas of life especially the area of spirituality. My wife and I have discovered that when we give our all to God, He in return never ceases to amaze us with His generosity. Though we don't fully deserve it, I believe God sees our obedience and willing heart and looks past the short comings in order to show us His goodness. Think about Abraham. The Bible shares with us how Abraham had instances where he partially obeyed God, like the conception of Ishmael when the promise was Isaac (Gen 16:15). This disobedience costed Abraham, but the promise of nations was still carried out as Abraham drew closer to God and willingly gave God his whole self when he offered up Isaac (Gen 18:33). Will our obedience be easy? Absolutely not! Although, we can, pray for the right heart, seek God diligently, and become a doer of His Word. To add, we have a Messiah who was faultless on this earth, but was still faced with the same temptations as we are today and as Abraham was in the old testament( Gen 22:1, Heb 4:15). Jesus also had to come to the place of surrendering His will before fulfilling His assignment as the Lamb of God. In everything, we are required to also surrender our all for the sake of God being glorified in our lives today. With a true repented heart, much assurance of faith, and a continual fellowship with our Father God will assist us with understanding how and why we are to give of ourselves just as God through Jesus, gave us all that He had. In addition to giving up our own will, it is time out for getting caught up with the cares of this world. We tend to put more value in people and things on this temporal earth rather than becoming fully persuaded to the fact that we are mere pilgrims on this earth passing through. It is imperative to the present day church and generations to come to God and give Him ALL that you have.

Always in Love,
