BE TOPS

What is God asking us to do? He's cleansed us with His amazing grace. In itself, this act should produce in us a heart of obedience(Isaiah 6:8). But to simplify, and don't think that I think anything is very simple, He's asking us to B-TOPS.

First, He wants us to Be in The Word. If you love God you want to know more about Him. There's one way:Be.

Secondly, Trust in Him. He's in control anyway. From His vantage point, He knows all past, present, and future. Give it up. He desires it:He deserves it.

Three, Obey. If you love Him, you will obey Him. If for no other reason than to please Him.

Fourth, Pray. Often. Don't deny yourself access to the Father. And don't forget that Jesus is also praying to the Father for us.(John 17:15) If He can pray for us, can't we also pray for ourselves?

Finally, Serve. To be tops with God, He wants us to serve Him. Start by loving others. You'll find it easier to be less self-centered. And you will be obeying, trusting; you'll be following The Word and the second most important commandment, and I'm certain you'll be in prayer as well.

Maybe that's why the S is last. It sums up. I can't say it's the most important. I'd say they are all vital to a healthy spiritual life.
