Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. - James 4:8
As we begin each day, each new endeavor, and each decision in our life, it is important to remember, well, what is IMPORTANT. Each action we take moves us either closer to God or further from Him and His will for our life. When we make decisions with that reality in mind, we'll evaluate each decision by where it places us in our relationship with God. If our relationship with God is the central purpose of our life, and all else revolves around and is influenced by that, then our priorities will line up with God's priorities.
Our chief purpose in life is first a relationship with our Creator. God made us, individually and as a race of beings, to worship Him. A central part of that worship is to lead others to that same sort of relationship. As we imitate Christ, and as we let the Spirit lead us, we should always be willing to be led to situations and in such a way as to bring glory to God by sharing His truth with others.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. - Phillippians 1:2
We all have a testimony, and yours is uniquely yours. How God has shown grace to you in your life is different from how He's shown it in my life or your church members' lives. And that unique testimony makes you uniquely suited to tell someone whose path you cross today about what God has done for YOU. Taking that opportunity to share our faith with someone else is a way to worship, a way to show obedience to God, and a way to love your neighbor all at the same time. I encourage you to not miss that opportunity to make one of God's priorities your priority today!
