(Romans 14:7-8 NKJV)\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
We are not our own. We do not own our lives, nor are we the masters of them!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Sometimes this is as simple as opening up the Word and seeing what it says about our situation or circumstance.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Other times, we might need to take longer and we may even need to fast and pray to get God’s answer for us.<\/p>\n
No matter what the situation, God is faithful and we need to be sure to listen for His input.<\/p>\n
So as you go through your day today, be sure to remember who’s you are!<\/p>\n
