JULY 26
LIVING FOR JESUS

Scripture:  2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

    Oh how we need to live for Jesus in these closing hours of time.  If there has ever been a time we should get serious about living for Him, it is now! Here are a few things that you will need if you really want to live for Him.  
    First of all, there must be a burning desire in our heart to live for Him. The Psalmist said in Psalm 63:1 “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;” We must want Him in our lives more than anything else.  
    Then you must have a determination.  No matter what others may say.  No matter what struggles you may go through.  No matter the hardships that may come.  Make up your mind that you are going to live for Jesus.  
    We will need some dedication to the decision we make.  Give yourself to the Lord.  Romans 12:1 says “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Verse 2 says “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”  Avoid the pull of the world on your life and dedicate yourself to the purpose of living for Jesus.
    We must be diligent about living for Him.  In 1 Cor. 15:58 it says “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” Don’t let the slightest wind of adversity blow you off course.
      Would you let Him show you what He can do with you and through you, if you will just let Him?
