Faithful in little.

David was an amazing character in the bible. He was able to slay the great Goliath, because of previously fighting the bear and the lion. There are tests all around us every day, whether we think they are or not. The tests have to do with family, work situations, how you treat complete strangers, to what you do when no one else is around. These tests do not take our salvation away if we fail, but they build in us our character and integrity. In your life do you desire to live for God and do great things for Him? You will not accomplish these if you aren't faithful in the little things. You will not wake up one morning and become the fastest person on the planet when you have never ran or trained a day in your life. Such thing do no come easy and can't happen without training and disicpline.

What is you mind focused on today? Are you seeking His face and relying on Him in everything? Is it your desire to serve Him no matter what? I see many people walk away from God, they no longer wish to live for Him, but choose to live for themselves. You can't live for yourself and God, one or the other has to give. We need to understand the lengths in which Christ went to save us. There almost seems to be thought that says if God doesn't measure up to me, I'm not going to follow Him. We have become so self centered thinking we can have whatever we want. God is absolute truth, love, and justice He deserves worship and praise.  I worry for this generation and how morals are crumbling and how instant everything is.

I love the song "how he loves us" written by John Mark Mcmillian 
No it was not written by David Crowder. He wrote this song in spite of a very close friend that died in a car accident. In spite of the troubles and terrible days God's love for us doesn't change. We shouldn't change or commitment to Him no matter what. God has given us so much, I will be greatful for that gift for the rest of my life.  In spite of what happens in our lives, good or bad, God is worthy of praise. Be faithful in little things and you will be faithful in the big things. It isn't about me and it isn't about you, its about Him.
