You’re missing the higher calling of God.

You’re missing the higher calling of God. If you are showered with prosperity in your life, do you give the glory to God? When life is good are you face down in the Presence of God thanking Him for His Goodness? When tragedy strikes, do you crumble under adversity or remain confident in the Lord? Why would God allow such ups and downs to affect His Children? Doesn’t His Word say that He will level your paths and make your way straight?

Each longs to triumph over adversity any way that they can. Tragedy is not an acceptable form of life and some way implies that you are in charge of your own destiny. However, God is not interested so much in your triumph and tragedy in day-to-day life. People pray over momentary situations as if they have a true bearing in life.

You’re missing the higher calling of God. The enemy will carry your name to God many times to eliminate your effectiveness as a Light in the Darkness. The true test for you, as any other follower of Jesus Christ, will be in tragedy and triumph what is your heart’s position? Because God does not care about monetary gain or personal power, the Lord cares about the condition of the human heart and your ability to overcome your flesh and submit fully to His Power. Submission is a word that most people are very uncomfortable with but it is absolutely essential in the advancement of Spiritual knowledge from God. Asking Jesus to come in your heart is not enough. If you invite Jesus into your house, but slam the door in His face – what’s the point? Too often you want God’s Power and Grace but only for victory. God wants to be your hope in triumph and tragedy. The Lord desires faith to be your foundation that secures your heart’s position in all things.

God doesn’t see things the way you do. His Vision is on a much higher plane. This world is totally temporary to God and the details of life all meaningless. The Lord is concerned with one thing. He’s looking directly at your heart. With microscopic intensity, He is scrutinizing every single detail of your heart and soul looking for complete submission. Not because God is power hungry, that would be futile since He is All-Powerful. Through submission, God’s Power becomes yours. It is the effectiveness of salvation by faith. You cannot get to Heaven without Jesus Christ. There is NO other way. However, if you continue to live life self relying on human power, faith will fail because you are powerless in Eternity.
