It Doesn't Matter -- Does It?

My Utmost For His Highest – April 15

2 Chronicles 15:17  Asa was not completely obedient in the outward, visible areas of his life. He was obedient in what he considered the most important areas, but he was not entirely right. Beware of ever thinking, “Oh, that thing in my life doesn’t matter much.” The fact that it doesn’t matter much to you may mean that it matters a great deal to God. Nothing should be considered a trivial matter by a child of God. How much longer are we going to prevent God from teaching us even one thing? But He keeps trying to teach us and He never loses patience. You say, “I know I am right with God”— yet the “high places” still remain in your life. There is still an area of disobedience. Do you protest that your heart is right with God, and yet there is something in your life He causes you to doubt? Whenever God causes a doubt about something, stop it immediately, no matter what it may be. Nothing in our lives is a mere insignificant detail to God.’  CHAMBERS

Many people, especially those who are not Believers, see our faith as a bunch of rules. Think about rules … they are boundaries .. typically intended for good purpose .. not for evil … but when it comes to obeying the Bible … the perception is that they are restricting .. it all started in the Garden … Are there things in your life that you have become comfortabel with  or have decided that that is just ‘your’ nature and God either issn’t big enough to do something about it, or it just doesn’t matter – even though in your heart you know it’s not right?  When you boil it down it is a faith issue … God wants all of our heart not part of it.  What ever it is that you are holding on to?  Trust God in that matter.  Let it go from your tight grip and let God restore your joy.
