What Are You Being?

What will you do today? Do you even know? You have your plans and you may well do your best to follow those plans, but what thing of eternal significance will you do? In other words, in what way will you contribute to the building of God’s kingdom?


I asking you Spiritual Leaders as well, in what way will you contribute to the Kingdom of God; here’s a hint, your religious duties will not necessarily fulfill them.

The Apostle Paul admonishes us, “THEREFORE, WHETHER YOU EAT OR DRINK, OR WHATEVER YOU DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.” 1 CORINTHIANS 10:31 This literally mean that as disciples of Jesus, however we spend the next eight hours of life which we shall never recover, we need to invest them in such a way that the result of our choices live throughout eternity.

Should I go to church? In reality; church is the last place you are going to impact your world for Christ. However, at the gas pump, in the grocery line, digging a ditch, working in the office or the store or your business; those are places where you can share the love of God.

You mean I should witness for Him? No! Your life should be a witness for Him, there’s a huge difference. If I accost the girl in the grocery with Jesus jabber every time I see her, believer or not, eventually she’s going to run when she sees me coming. If, on the other hand, I am the most pleasant customer she has every day that I am in her line, she is eventually going to wonder what makes me so different from the grouches who usually fill her line. Eventually she is going to ask why I am so patient or loving or kind and I can tell her about Jesus when she is ready to hear.

But I’m not ashamed of Christ! Neither am I, but people must know you care about them before they care about what you say to them. The Christian life is not a sprint, it’s a walk. “THE MIND OF MAN PLANS HIS WAY, BUT THE LORD DIRECTS HIS STEPS” PROVERBS 16:9 If I have the faith to know that I am in step with The Holy Spirit, then I will be on God’s time table, I may not always speak first, but when I speak it will produce fruit.
You are alive today because God has something for you to be, I bet you thought I thought I was going to say, God has something for you to do, but you are NOT a HUMAN DOING, you are a HUMAN BEING! We must BE about our Father’s Business, which may mean nothing more than choosing to do your best at whatever you do to God’s Glory, at your job or at the gas pump, at home, in your yard or in your school. Each time another person sees the light of God’s love alive in you, you are expanding the boundaries of the Kingdom of God.
For Heaven’s sake, quit pretending to be perfect; you’re not. Just be the real you to the Glory of God. Did you get that? Not for your glory, not to enlarge your church or denomination. A lost and dying world is watching you; “THEREFORE, WHETHER YOU EAT OR DRINK, OR WHATEVER YOU DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.” Amen!
