Mark 4:21-25
Our life is like a lamp. When the power is on, we give light to all who come near us. When the power is off our deeds cannot be seen, however, the power will come back on either by the Holy Spirit convicting us and our repentance or on judgement day when we stand before All Mighty God.
We may live secret lives and commit secret sins and think that no one knows or sees. We may feel empowered by "getting away" with our sin. Often getting "away with it" causes us to be more reckless and careless. Often it takes us deeper into a life we will one day regret.
Someday we will stand at a cross road and be given a choice. Choose life or choose death. Our decision will determine our destiny. If we decide to follow Christ, lay down our life, and turn from our sin, we will have life and that more abundantly. We will see the fulfillment of God's promises in our lives.
If we choose to love our life and live for ourselves, we will lose the intimacy with Christ. We will be facing all the garbage the enemy throws at us alone. By choosing to follow our flesh, we are in essence saying we don't care about God's plan for our lives and we don't care what He thinks.
The created telling the creator how to run things is a pretty dumb plan, yet how many times do we do just that by our actions? We act like we know better then God how to run our lives and often never even take His will into consideration.
Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God has plans for our life. Plans to prosper us and not to harm us. Plans to give us a hope and a future. God's way is the best way!
