God is a jealous God. I was reminded of this today. He wants all of me. He doesn't just want me on Sundays or when I'm doing my devotions in the morning. He wants me everyday all the time. In Revelation 3:15-16, God addresses the church of Laodicea saying, "I know you're deeds, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were either one or the other! So because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am going to spit you out of my mouth."
God wants me to be hot or cold, not the happy medium. That's hard. Not that I want to settle for mediocrity, sometimes its just easier to be a "normal" person.
Everyday I have to sacrifice myself. Everyday I have to make a conscience decision to live for God whole-heartedly, and its only by His grace I can. I need to be singing 10,000 Reasons with all my heart or just not singing it at all.
I love that song. I, too have been reminded to steer clear of lukewarm. It is hard and we can do nothing without His help.
