You were bought at a price
Bought? As people we love to go out and buy stuff. We are always looking for the best deal or the best sale. For some things we will go and price things at many different stores before we decide on what item we want. As Americans most of the stuff that we buy we probably don't need, but we see that the guy in class or the girl walking through campus has it and so we think that we need it. Sometimes that means going online to Ebay, Overstock.com, or some other auction site so that we can find the shoes or whatever it may be at a discounted price.
Did you realize that God bought you for a price? The bible says you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. God bought you not a discounted price. He paid full price for you because he loves you. He wants the best for you. The least we can do for him is allow him to use us. We need to honor him and not just with our body, but also with our time, and every aspect of our life. Did Jesus not come down to earth 2000 years ago and spend every waking moment for you so that you could have eternal life and furthermore spend it with him?
God didn't shortcut you on eternity. He didn't try and find the discount or the sale, but he paid full price for you because he LOVES you. Therefore, let’s honor God with each aspect of our life. Let’s be open to what he has to offer. At times, we try to run and hide because of what he wants and it isn't what we want. I've been there. It can be a very scary thing. If we give in to God and allow him to work in our lives, things will be much better off because he can see the big picture.
My challenge for you this week is to honor God because he gave the ultimate sacrifice and paid full price for you. Spend time everyday with God and you will see the dramatic effects that it has on your life. Remember he loves you and only wants the best for you. As you lay down in bed tonight think about how much one-on-one time you spent with God today? Did you spend time with God today? If you did, great job and if not than really try hard to do so. You might find yourself making excuses, but don't, find time.
If you have any questions just ask.
