Jesus in Practice
I tried to fit God into my schedule for a long time. The problem with missing time with Him during the day is the regret that follows.
Regret would lead to self-condemnation. Self-condemnation would lead to frustration and leave me depressed.
The worst part was that it did not happen in a day. It took time. Sometimes, I would go for days, weeks, or even months without experiencing the joy of life in Jesus.
God cannot fit into our schedule. He is our Creator. He created us to perfectly fit in with His schedule.
When I try to fit God into my daily schedule, it means I have other important matters to attend to other than Him.
WE SING TO GOD, YOU ARE THE AIR THAT I BREATHE. WILL YOU BREATHE SPARINGLY DURING THE DAY?
Will you survive?
Can I say it's my choice whether I want to breathe? Never! Without breath, I would meet death instantly.
Without Jesus in us, we are dead men walking.
I knew, theoretically, Jesus is life. But I failed to put it into practice.
HOW TO PUT JESUS INTO PRACTICE?
1. Love Him with all your mind, heart, soul, and strength.
Yes, this is the only way.
Can you schedule love? Can I tell the person I love that I love you from 4 am to 6 pm, then in the evening from 9 pm to 10:30 pm before I go to bed?
What do we tell someone we love? I'm always thinking about you.
God gave us the anointing of the Holy Spirit to move ahead in Him by faith and in love. The Holy Spirit refreshes and renews us to live for Jesus every time we give room for the anointing.
Keep thinking about Jesus daily. So whatever you do in word or deed, it is to Him. God has fitted you into Himself for His glory.
Let love always be in the air till we meet Him in the air. Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
