How DEEP is your love for God?

Today,just made me realize:I'm still not committed to God as I should be!Today it is freezing in Port Elizabeth-a very windy city and there's a howling wind but that could not stop me from going to the Library-I have some applications to fill etc. which led me to reflect back on incidence that occured for the past two Sundays,that have made me to conclude such.

On the first Sunday it was very windy,my mom had sent me to do groceries and other things for her and willingly I did-I love helping her out.Later on the day I had a singing group and choir practice;but because of the weather I didn't go.And this past Sunday I had a few businesses to attend on behalf of my mom(as she was out of town) and I had thought I'd go straight from there to church-BUT because I was carrying a lot of things (and I didn't want to seem like I was showing off) I decided to go home first and then go back to church-and sadly I didn't.I decided I was tired so I ended up sleeping.

BUT If I can go to the Library (same area where my church is situated) to do my OWN  things,why can't I attend the choir practice irregardless of the weather?It makes me wonder,where do my loyalties lie?Is my loyalty to God based on circumstances and in this case,the weather-seemingly a small thing.And if that's the case,what's going to happen when there are other circumstances.It makes me think of the verse "pray that your flight may not be in winter."Matthew 24:20.

And this  tells me I need to evaluate my life and sadly it's a COMMON thing.You should see how empty the church is when it's windy-yes,some of us stay far and we have to walk quite a distance(maybe 40 minutes max) BUT should that even be a VALID reason?

I realize it's time for me to take God seriously.If I can make time for my own things,it's neccesary that I do the same for God and even more.Which makes me realize further that,if I can't be faithful to God now,how on earth do I expect to be later on?

And with the  SUNDAY LAW coming soon: can we afford to start being indolent and being feeble now?I was so sad that on my way to church this past Sabbath I met a fellow christin attending a funeral on God's day-SATURDAY SABBATH!Now,is the time to let our families,friends,neighbours know where allegiance lies.We can't compromise!We've got 6 days for our things.

NOW is the time to make a stand and like Daniel,PURPOSE in our hearts to be loyal to God.
