Are you Living for God?
by Brian Jakowski
It’s just there when we wake up every day. Waiting on our cell phones, computers and more. A singular message, a single word, subtly working to win our hearts.
The world’s whispers of “More” fill our every waking moment. More money, clothes, food, sex, recognition, status, pleasure, comfort, lovers. The message, you always need more.
Within this devious message, like bait on a fishhook, is a darker veiled inference that, “you will never find satisfaction or fulfillment without more.” Like moths to a flame, droves of people are biting the hook every day.
The thing is, like all hooks, there’s a barb, and once you’re on the hook, it’s hard to get free!
The Way Out is to Get Lost.
C. S. Lewis wrote,
“A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.”
I love this concept, but why shouldn’t all of us, men and women alike, focus our on God so deeply that the things of the world become less important and fade away?
We all have legitimate demands on our time, jobs, family, children, God, but why is God at the end of the list for so many of us; shouldn’t he be first?
