To Live For Christ

Having God

For many years I thought I lived for Christ, but didn’t really live for Him. I mean, I was a Christian and went to church, said my prayers in the morning and in the evening, but I really didn’t live for Him. I lived for myself. I had my hopes and my dreams and my plans, and I pursued after them. I didn’t ask God what His plans were for me and what He wanted me to do. I made my plans and asked for His blessings in the interim. If things weren’t going well at work I asked Him to work things out for me. If I had a desire for a better position at work I asked Him to give it to me. When I wanted to own a house I told Him the kind I wanted and He granted it to me because I asked Him to give it to me. But I never thought of saying, “Do you have any plans for me Lord, and if You do, what are they?” I never thought to even ask and say, “Where do you want me to live? What kind of house do you want me to live in?” No. I never asked those questions, but if you asked me if I lived for Christ I would have emphatically and without hesitation told you that I did. I would have told you I am a Christian and I am faithful in my prayers and in my attendance in church. I even led the worship service and taught in the Sunday school. But when it came to making my own plans, I didn’t ask God what He thought. All I did was ask Him to bless my plans. I didn’t ask what He thought of them or even if they’re in His will at all.
