It is tempting to shape God to our liking and to make His Word convenient to obey or ignore. Many people treat God as a stranger on the street with little time to even acknowledge Him daily, but then they cry out for mercy when trials come their way. Often struggles come our way when we seek a path of our own rather than looking for the direction which God provides.  

 Without God in our lives daily our walk has little purpose and can become very lonely without His direction. The Lord gives each of us special talents to help one another in many different ways but so often we get stuck in the wilderness because we try to serve ourselves rather than properly serving God. Being a Christian does not mean to only obey God when it is convenient nor does it give us the liberty to ignore God’s instruction. The Lord wants us to live a happy and fulfilled life that will help inspire others to do the same while always seeking His direction that guides the steps that we take.

 I challenge you today to seek God for your purpose and begin to look for how He is guiding your life through the love of Jesus Christ. Don’t treat God as that stranger on the street because He could be testing you in the next person you meet…amen
