See God in Everything Part II

     I hope all those that took the challenge from yesterday's post found God in some everyday item.  I would like to hear what you found sometime.  You can always leave comments in you would like.

     For today's challenge, we will dig a little deeper.  My first question to you is are you glorifying God in everything you do? This means your hobbies, occupations, your family life, and your church ministries.  Isn't that why we are here?  Are we not supposed to honor God in all that we do?  My answer is yes!!! But (there is always a but), I FAIL!!!  Why do I fail?  Probably because my sinful nature over powers my love for God and for that, I am ashamed.

    We are all sinful creatures and we tend to let this world cloud our vision of God.  Today I challenge you to look at your occupation and really focus on how you can glorify God in it.  My example to you is my occupation.  I am a Grading contractor.  I looked at my job in two different ways.  First is how can a Grading company be a ministry?  Then I looked at it like an object that I can use as an analogy to teach the word of God.  I discovered that we, as a company, effect not just the lives of our employees, but their families lives too.  I also see where we can witness to those we interact with on a daily basis by our actions.  I also saw where we can use our talents to serve churches, youth camps, and to help individuals in construction projects.  I also saw where I can serve my family and raise my children to learn the importance of hard work.  Next, I thought about how I could preach the word through my occupation.  I thought about the process of grading and realized that I am taking the earth and reshaping it.  I am also removing the bad soils and replacing it with good soils so that the foundations will hold firm for many years.  This is what God does to us as we become closer to him.  He reshapes us and removes the bad parts of our hearts so that he has a good foundation to build his ministry in us.

    Search your hearts brothers and sisters and see what God revels to you
