We are in reality made by God … as well as in fact made for God!

This might be somewhat of a scary thought, but what if someone was to give a completely objective analysis surrounding what they’ve observed after spending an entire week in our presence … regarding “What we live for, and what fulfills us?”

Even as professing Bible believing Christians, would there possibly be any ‘little gods’ they would see as our priorities … based upon how much time, our top interests, our energy, our emphasis to things or on certain people, our zeal for certain activities, our financial investments, etc., that is robbing us from the freedom we should be enjoying as committed Christ followers?

In Acts 17:23-25 Paul says, “Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who created the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things.”

I don’t think it would hurt any of us to take inventory of potential distractions from what God’s best is for our lives. Then, out of obedience to what we know from His Word, along with the 24/7 presence of the Holy Spirit to help guide us through making wise decisions each and every day … to see if in fact we’re living faithfully and gratefully to the One who has given each of us our very life & breath.
