Genesis 3:1-10
Think
Lately, I’ve felt like my relationship with God has been lacking. Yeah, I’ve felt Him move at church and in my small group’s discussions but it’s felt like I’ve just been going through the motions (great song, by the way). God tells us to give of our money, so I give. God tells us to use our talents, so I use my talents. God tells to worship, so I worship. But after reading Genesis 3:1-10, I wonder if I’ve been doing just enough to hear God because I’m really scared of what He might do if He came close, so I hide from him. My small group has been going through Francis Chan’s book Crazy Love. Chapter 4 talks about how lukewarm Christians want to be in control and play it safe. But there’s a cost to following God. 1 Chronicles 21:24 states: “But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take from the Lord what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.” I feel like my relationship with God so far has cost me nothing. It’s scary to say this, but I’m ready for God to move in my life, to know His crazy, overwhelming love, and to respond to it with all that I am.
