God at the centre
“Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.
Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Deuteronomy 6:5-7.
On Christmas day I was reminded of this scripture and how I fell short. Three of us had gone to a restaurant for Christmas dinner. The meal came and I forgot to say grace. The family behind us however did and I was impressed. That brief prayer they spoke witnessed to those around them.
If we claim to be believers in Christ Jesus God should be the centre of our lives. People should know we are Christians by our actions.
Francis of Assisi made two important statements,
“Preach the Gospel at all times
and when necessary use words.”
And
"The deeds you do may be
the only sermon some persons will hear today"
Francis of Assisi.
The world is watching us. As believers in Christ Jesus we need to make Him so much a part of our lives that we worship and serve Him in a way that glorifies Him all the time without even thinking about it.
Are you doing this?
Please think about it.
