Text: Luke 10:38-42
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Do you desire the best from God? If yes, do you also give your best to him? If you are not giving him your best, ask yourself why. What are the things preventing you from giving God your best? What are things standing between you and your God? What are things God has laid in your heart that you should do for him but you have dragging your feet? What is stopping you from doing the will of God?
For some people it’s ungodly relationships which the Bible calls unequal yokes. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. Others have occupied themselves with so much junks and business that they don’t have time to give God their best. Martha is good example; she was busy doing good but missed out on the best- Luke 10:38-42.
Some people are not giving their best because they don’t really trust in God. Some trust in God but not with all their hearts. They stand with only one leg in the faith and the other leg is hanging in unbelief. They have other things in mind.
The Psalmist said, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright.”- Psalm 20:7-8.
The one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.” James 1:6B-8. A double minded person cannot get the best from the Lord.
When God wanted to give, he gave his very best. He didn’t sacrifice one of his angels or archangels rather his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ- John 3:16. He doesn’t expect your good, your better but your very best. Don’t give anything less.
Reflective Nugget: If you must get the best from God then you must get rid of those things standing between you and Him.
