CHOOSING YOUR CUP!

“You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons too.” 1 Corinthians 10:21

” So when you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31

Unfortunately, the best place to observe those who try to drink from the cup of the Lord and then drink from the cup of demons too, is in our churches. It is very easy to find those who go to church on Sunday and act so religious but leave the church and go by the way of the world for the rest of the week. They seem to forget everything that is heard in the sermon on Sunday and focus all of their attention to what is meaningful to them throughout the week. They forget about what God wants them to do. They forget that they are to glorify him with their way of life. They forget that they are to give God credit and honor for His presence in their lives. They lose their focus on the Lord and begin to focus on themselves. They become concerned about only the things that will benefit them.

We are to let our actions reflect Jesus, His character and His nature. None of us are perfect so we will slip and fall. We will occasionally slide from God’s path, but with our focus on Him he will gently guide us back onto the right course. If we are drinking from the cup of the Lord, then He will constantly be our focus. We will continue to live our daily lives with Him on our minds. We will praise him during the day, we will pray in the name of Jesus during the week, we will read and obey His word and we will think of others and not just ourselves. We will live our lives in the Jesus way. We will love others and have a joy in our step. We will be constant in our thoughts, our words, and our actions by being wrapped in the arms of our Lord at all times. The lives we live should always reflect the glory of our God in heaven! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS AND AT ALL TIMES!
