Ask God, act Godly.

Romans 6:9-11 (NLT)
9 We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. 10 When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. 11 So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

Dead to the power of sin, but certainly not the temptation. Alive to God – the opposite of sin? Yet, why do we struggle with sin and being alive to God? For me, I think we think to highly of ourselves, we think we’re on par with God and if not willing to say it, we live it.

We have a way to go. Not just sin, but being alive in God. Christ embodied what being alive in God meant, right? What did he do with his life and how does that compare to my life? Your life? The life of those around you?

Acts 4:32 (NLT)
32 All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.

There is hope, the hope we know but don’t fully live. It’s to live a Godly life as Christ showed us.

Hebrews 9:15 (NLT)
15 That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.

How do we get there?

James 1:5 (NLT)
5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

Ask God, act Godly.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
