This
is a good time of the year to take a spiritual fitness test. One way to gauge
our spirituality is to figure out how detached we are from material things.
When
we’re in love with God, we love His Word. We love to obey and please Him in our
daily lives. When we love God, we long to spend time in prayer with Him. When
we love God, we love to talk about His love with people, who do not know Him
yet. When we love God, we’ll love His people and the work of His Kingdom. When
we love God, we take risk and make sacrifices to help the world-wide body of
Christ.
If we
love our comfortable lifestyle more than we love God, we’re off balance. If we love
money more than God, we’re sick spiritually. If our work, popularity and
prestige are more important than associating with God’s people, we got our
priorities wrong. Now is a good time to tune up our spiritual health.
Jesus
said, “For where your
treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Luke 12:34 NIV). Friend, set your mind on things above. Everything you
have, you’ll soon have to leave behind. Heaven is our glorious Hope. Will you
be recognized in heaven for the way you lived your life here on earth?
