Divided Heart

My Utmost For His Highest

 

‘You did not do anything to achieve your salvation, but you must do something to exhibit it. You must “work out your own salvation” which God has worked in you already (Philippians 2:12). Are your speech, your thinking, and your emotions evidence that you are working it “out”? If you are still the same miserable, grouchy person, set on having your own way, then it is a lie to say that God has saved and sanctified you.

 

The only proper goal of life is that we manifest the Son of God; and when this occurs, all of our dictating of our demands to God disappears. Our Lord never dictated demands to His Father, and neither are we to make demands on God. We are here to submit to His will so that He may work through us what He wants. Once we realize this, He will make us broken bread and poured-out wine with which to feed and nourish others.’ CHAMBERS

 

Are you living for God or for yourself.  Do you seek the will of the Father or do you ask the Father to submit to your will?  Have you redefined what it means to live the Christian life?   One foot in the culture and one on the path that God has set out for you.  I am not talking about overt sin necessarily but a divided heart.  Matthew 22:37 says love God with your whole heart … that means that we cannot kneel before God and dance with our culture.

 

Philippians 4:8-9 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
