What is God Interested In?

   Chambers says today:

   "We must never allow anything to interfere with the consecration of our spiritual power. Consecration (being dedicated to God’s service) is our part; sanctification (being set apart from sin and being made holy) is God’s part. We must make a deliberate determination to be interested only in what God is interested."

   I spent some time this morning pondering what it was that God was interested in. The first word that came to my mind was "people". God is concerned with people, their joys, their sorrows, the struggles, their victories, and just their daily lives. He is concerned with whether or not they accept His sacrifice for them.

   But it is not just that He is concerned with a generic "people". He is vitally interested in each individual person, and, although it is hard to get my mind around the fact that He knows each one of 6 billion or so folks around the world, the fact is true, that He is.

   So, Chambers says that I should be concerned also, about the 6 billion people around the world, but especially those that pass through my life on a daily basis. I need to live my life in such a way, that those that I come into contact with, whether once in a lifetime, or on a regular basis, are treated with respect. My life should not be a stumbling block to another, but should point them to the truth.

   There was an old song in our hymnal years ago that said "Make me a blessing to someone today", a reminder of how the Christian life should be lived. My prayer is for God to help me to be aware of a lot of "someones" today and the tomorrows ahead.

   Not just sing a song, or write a blog, but really do it.
