Going All Out

As I have stated in the past, I am a huge sports fan. I love this time of the year. NFL, NBA, and college football/basketball is on all the time. I can turn on the TV at any time just about and catch a sporting event to watch. I like to watch college sports the best. The kids go at it with all they have. They bust their rears and push themselves to the limit. They go all out to achieve their goal, which is to win the game. What do you go all out for? What would it be like if we as Christians went all out for our faith? If we were just as focused or just as dedicated to serve the Lord as those kids are to score or to get a rebound, how awesome would that be? We can be, we just choose not to. It is easier to just go with the flow. It’s not as cool to be on fire for God. We feel excused to sin if we stay ignorant of what He wants us do. That type of thinking though puts us at risk. We need to keep in mind that Satan has a singular focus on tearing us down. He is all in when it comes to destroying our lives and getting us to turn from God. The only way you can fight that is to have a fire in you that is based in the Lord. Know what the bible says and hide its words in your heart. Pray on a regular basis, just spend time talking to God. Get involved where you can and look for ways that you can serve Him and His church. Find a way to go all out for God. He went all out for us when He sent His son to die for us. Why would we not go all out for Him and His kingdom? If you ask me, it does not make any sense not to.
