Where is God in our lives today

Why do we not let God fully into our lives.

(Hey can I talk to you (while i’m on the phone) “i’m busy,” (thirty seconds later) “cant you tell i’m busy”) From a show of hands who would do this to someone they know… Then why would we do this to God when He is trying to come into our lives. We say that we want God in our lives yet we do not fully let God in there is always something that we keep God out of such as out finances, help with an addiction, or other things that we do not want God to have control in our lives.

In Jeremiah 29:11 it says“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” So when we keep God out of our lives we are losing all the blessing that we could be getting from the LORD.

When we do let God in we try and block off certain parts that we don’t want God to see or don’t want to get rid of the control that we have in our lives.

I think of it as a house we clean up out living area and let God in yet we lock all the other doors in the house. Thinking that God will judge us for all the things that we may have in that room or if that room is clean or dirty. In 1 John 1:9 says “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” So if we let God into our lives and say to Him that we have sin our lives then He will not judge us for that sin but He will forgives us and make it like we were new and never having any sin.

You know when I was in the military I went to a place called rock mountain. There they had a place where you could see 5 different states at once.

That being said we cannot straddle the line between the world and God. God wants all of us not just a part time Christian. Being a Christian is not a part time job but a never ending job that has a lot of blessing. However some people want to see how far they can stay in the world while also being with God. It cannot be done so if we are going to let God into our lives we must give him a master key to our lives so that nothing is off limits for God in our lives. I believe that in order for God to help us in our life as a whole then we must give Him full control in our life. There is only one way to give God full control and that is to do what is in Proverbs 3:5-6 which says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
