Many People Want To Serve God But Only As Advisors

Working all month long for a salary…well yes, we need to work for food but work is not our life! God is our life and we should stop advising God…He knows the Big Picture, He alone has the final perspective. Stop worrying and instead trust God! That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying, Behold my servant whom O have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit ion him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive nor cry; neither shall any man hear His voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not break, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in His name shall the Gentiles trust. Matthew 12:17-21

This quote that I found on the internet was so true that I just had to say something about it…in the days that we live in, most people just want to live out their lives in relative security and at the same time be assured of the fact that they are going to heaven…many people that call themselves Christians go to church every Sunday, sometimes during the week and that is the extent of their spiritual lives.

When you live in a country like America it is so easy to take the life that you have for granted, it is easy to forget the fact that your two cars and huge house are gifts from God and that it is only through God’s wondrous grace that you were placed where you are to begin with. God calls us out from our materialistic lifestyle; God does not want us to spend all our time in the money chasing game that is going on these days.

God wants us to trust Him. How many times have you thought that you have to do this and this and this to get through the next month? While you were adding the money up, did you remember to put aside the ten percent that belongs to God… what about the extra money that should come out of our hearts out of love and gratitude for what God has done for us? Are you afraid that there will not be enough money to get through the month and at the same time allow you to visit all those restaurants and shopping malls? Why don’t you say a prayer and just start trusting God, to take care of you?

Psalms 119:42 says: "…I trust in Thy word"
How many times had God allowed things to go a certain way, and instead of just trusting that God will resolve the issue, you decided that God needed some help in figuring out what to do? What happened to, "I trust Thy word"?

God tells us in His word that all we need to do is trust in Him and He will take care of us, "Trust in the Lord and do good; so shall thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shall be fed." Psalms 37:3. God will not allow one of His children to go hungry…the Bible tells us that our Father in heaven knows what we need.

It is not only the satisfying of hunger that God promises if we put our complete trust in Him, lets read Psalms 33:21; 5:11; 22:4,5
For Our hearts shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name…But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them shout for joy because thou defendest them…our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted and thou didst deliver them. They cried into thee and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

All that we need to do is to start trusting God to do what He says that HE is going to do.

We need to stop telling God what to do because, in the first place, it is not our business to do something like that and secondly God knows what is best for us, a lot better then we do, not to mention the fact that you are sinning when you tell God what to do because it is a blatant display of distrust.

God saved us from sin and called to a life of righteousness with Christ shining through our lives to the people around us…come on folks, let’s starts living for God!

"But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever." Psalms 52:8
