Spiritual Emphasis

This past week here at CBC was spiritual emphasis week. We have a guest speaker or two come in and they preach and it's supposed to be about deepening your walk with Christ. This week we had Mark Batterson, who is just awesome and he is from around the area where my family is, preach and to say the least I was in awe of God. Several times I fought with myself about all the other days in life or in chapel, when we should be giving our all and a lot of the times we just go through the motions. I was trying to put it on the back burner of my brain, but my heart was wrestling with it the whole time. Here is the thing, we get or we want to get so deep with God on certain weeks, or days, when really we should just give Him our all, all the time. Many times I find my self struggling with just giving Him my all, because of some distraction or something that I'm struggling with, but the sooner you give it to Him the better. As humans we let our minds wonder and often it goes the whole service to the point where we didn't know, but we let the time zoom by and it's at the end of service and it's the alter call. 

God challenged me this week to just give Him my all and hold nothing back. It doesn't matter what others say or think about me, because God knows my heart and that's all that really matters. For many of us we hold back because we are scared about our reputation, or what our friends might say, but if you start pressing in, majority of times everyone around is going to too. I would just encourage you to just continue to push in and press into Him even more. God bless and good night
