1 Corinthians 4:20 "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power."
In the midst of reading several chapters of scripture this morning this one sentence jumped out of the book. It caused me to think, to pray, to wonder at how every time I think I've gotten on a good path to change I realize how much MORE change is needed in my life.
Does my life demonstrate God's power or am I all talk?
Reading Francis Chan's "Crazy Love" and being dually challenged about similar things has driven it home this morning. Do I live fearing my own failure or do I live fearing that I'm succeeding at things in life that don't really matter? Am I giving God my very best or is my best getting used up by other things that get my time and attention and God just gets my leftovers?
Does my life demonstrate God's power or am I all talk?
Jesus, don't let me walk away from wrestling with this until I reach conclusions that direct me to places where my life will please you more than where I am today.
