Who is the God of Your Life?

Psalm 100:3 'Know that the Lord, He is God. It is He who made us, and not we ourselves.'

Ephesians 1:11 'In Him also we have obtained and inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will--'

Ecclesiastes 5:2 'Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore, let your words be few.'

Colossians 1:10 'That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.'
 
We see from scripture--the standard of our faith--that all we have we owe to God; that all power resides with Him and not with us; that we are called to exercise control over our tongues and not to wag them around with naming and claiming; that we should always be increasing in our understanding of our Creator.

Our pastors are failing us in this vital regard. We are not taught to be still and know that He is God. No time is given in church to allow the Spirit to move, because we are not silent before Him. We are not learning about God, but about ourselves. After church service (self-help seminar) ask yourself: ‘What have I learned about God today? Do I know Christ better than when I went in?’

If the answers to these questions are 'Nothing' and 'No' then you better reevaluate your life. Spend time in the word and in prayer. Be silent before God, and know Him. How can you expect to know and do His will, if you give no time to learning of and hearing Him? How much time do you spend with God? How much time to do spend on your phone?
