Are you level 1? God or the world? Luke 9:23-25

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!

I asked you yesterday to rate yourself from 1 to 5 about your level of obedience, dedication to God. Where did you rate your self?

Level 1 people, or believers could be considered people who are totally there for who? For themselves, and only themselves. As a level one believer the whole concern in life is "what do I want to do? I will do what makes ME happy!"

We talk about "ME" time, it is not "ME time" but "GOD TIME". When we live at a level 1 nothing else matters except what we want or what we see as important. When we are totally self centered, what are our priorities and goals. We are not good employees, not good Christians, we are just going through the motions.

Are you on God's watch list? Probably, and He is not through working with you. The big question is, are you in tune with God? And the answer at level 1 is a resounding NO! You are as an infant child, only in tune with your wants, needs at the time, and your world.

Luke 9:23-25 Then he said to the crowd, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?"

If following Jesus is most important, you will not fear what comes before you because you know that Jesus will raise you to eternal life. As disciples we are to spend our lives serving God and others. Are you level 1? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
