Winding Down for the New Year
Just as I thought, as everyone seems to kick into a slower gear whenever a year draws to a close, folks receiving their year-end bonus break a sight of short relief in this debt-driven society. As for me, I am likewise putting my clients on hold in taking on new projects as the spirit of this festival sets in.
But more importantly, it sets me to rethink about the purpose of our christian walk. Many see christians around them as hypocrites (sad to say), some just plain ordinary Joe like themselves (nothing special) while yet some are just confused if christianity has anything to do with them.
Christian = follower("ian") of Christ
where a genuine born-again believer is fully in the appropriate position to leverage the power of God (our Almighty Creator) in his or her life, moving His arm to do what the world sees as impossible through prayer and careful decisions - in a time frame predestinated before the existence of everything. So, you say, we are the chess pieces in the universal play set of God. Yes, we are! But if we fail to see this (to genuine believers I say) in our daily walk, there isn't a real, driven purpose to please God in our lives, is it? And if there isn't that passion, why then do you call yourself a christian? I believe God has not called christians to limp along in life aimlessly but to perform what ordinary man sees as impossible...God brings possibilities through us.
Without Christ, one can try (like the Pharisees) to fulfill the perfect law of God and be dead sure failure is emminent and disastrous. Only by believing in the finished work and power of Jesus to both remove your spiritual death and exercise a complete trust in what God can do in you , will you then begin to truly walk in the grace and the true purpose God has handcraft for you - A Super natural life.
Come to the Almighty yet gracious Savior of souls today and live supernaturally for Him henceforth...
