Hello Everyone,

Why do people who profess to know God still turn back to weak and miserable principals for their guidance and help rather than turn to God?

They don’t want to put in the effort it takes to find out how to live for God.

“I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.” Galatians 4:11

It takes effort to live for God. Living for God demands we make certain sacrifices.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.” (Matt 13:44)
“Anyone who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.” (Matthew 10:38)
Do not be deceived. God is not mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”
(Galatians 6:7)

The Galatians were not putting in the full effort to live for God…

Galatians 4:10-11“You are observing special days and months and seasons and years. I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.”

They were making the effort only on special occasions

They were not putting in the daily practice…

It was Paul’s fear that men who had once lived in the presence of God would LIMIT Him to special occasions.

We can’t live for God if we only spend time with Him on Sunday mornings.

Pick up your cross DAILY and follow me

If someone was to observe my life would they discover a life that was living for God?

Is that a strong characteristic of my life or is that a weak characteristic of my life?

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

How many of us will be able to say like Paul

“I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Tim. 4:7)

Oh How HE Loves Us!
