(Romans 14:7-8 NKJV) For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. {8} For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
We are not our own. We do not own our lives, nor are we the masters of them!
If you have put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and have become a child of God, your life is not your own. Your life now belongs to Him.
There is a lot more to this than many people realize. This means that we are now accountable to Him in everything that we do; every choice we make, every plan we devise, everything.
Once we understand this, it should greatly impact our lives and change the way we do things. Before we make a decision about something, especially something major in our lives, we need to seek God and get His feedback on it.
Sometimes this is as simple as opening up the Word and seeing what it says about our situation or circumstance.
Other times it might be something pretty simple and we just “have a knowing” about what we need to, without getting too deep or too involved in seeking an answer.
Other times, we might need to take longer and we may even need to fast and pray to get God’s answer for us.
No matter what the situation, God is faithful and we need to be sure to listen for His input.
So as you go through your day today, be sure to remember who’s you are!
