There are so many things, especially in my life, that I need to be making my decisions sacrificial choices. I sometimes, as we all do, have a hard time giving something up of mine that I know I would rather like to keep around. Well, look at my dvd collection. It is now diminished quite a bit. But, I am not grieving over it and I am still alive. Look at that! I am still alive. Now I do not see sacrificial choices as something that we need to give up but more making aware of our decisions and how it affects the glory of God. Does the decision that you are making glorify God? Ha. Wow, I am such a hypocrite. As I sit here and eat McDonald's. Okay, I'm done with that. Not eating that anymore. I see my eating fast food as it does not glorify God because I know it is not healthy for me. It destroys my body. My body is supposed to be a temple for God and if it is not healthy and I cannot do much with it, then I am not glorifying God to my best potential. So, from here on out (I need to write this down, actually) I need to ask myself if what I am doing glorifies God? I should have been asking this a long time ago and all the time but I am only human (thank the Lord). Now, I just need to make myself remember to do this. Even asking this one question I can purge my life of things I do not need, of food I shouldn't eat, of friends I probably shouldn't have, or even of daily decisions I should make regarding what time I get out of bed. Seriously, I need to. But, let me ask you that question. Are what you are doing in your life right now, big decisions or small, glorifying God to the best of your potential? Are what you doing allowing God to be the best in your life? I know I am not and I need to get right on that, like yesterday. Let's keep each other accountable. Let's be that person that asks that question everyday. See how those decisions or even your friends decisions start changing to make the most of God in your life instead of mediocre.
