Down To Earth

     It's where they tell us to be. In fact, people are considered cool
the more down to earth they are, but I have to ask myself is that what I really want to be. Do I want to be down to earth with the rest of the world, or do I want to stand out above the crowd even if I have to shout out loud.
     I'm reminded that God calls His children to be holy because He is holy. Holy meaning sacred! When I think about that and I look at my life I realize I have a lot of stuff that still needs to be given over to Christ in my life. Things that I do have a rough time giving to Him daily, and some of you probably can relate, if not all of you. There are days when I will give everything over to Christ and other days where I hold back so much, and there are even days when I sit in the middle being lukewarm, and I know that He isn't pleased with luke warmth. This year He's been working a lot of things out of my life as many of you have read in my blogs this year. It's been a crazy year, somewhat of a roller coaster!
    One of my biggest problems when it comes to the days that I'm not giving it all over to God is that I simply get cozy being down to earth. Just going with the flow, while the flow says hold so much back. In a world where everyone tries to hold onto everything they have in hopes of keeping it all, I serve a God who says "Give me your all, and you will know true life."
    I know He is right because I have experienced this true life. I've experienced it time and time again! It's those days that I don't experience it that bother me so much. When I get comfortable and don't say the name of Jesus or pick up His word. It's that downhill roll that bothers me. Day after day of walking in the world and not in the spirit.

Lord help me because I get comfortable when I shouldn't be
and I walk the race that I should run as if the world is not at stake
Lord help me
cause I don't wanna be down to earth
