Today, for the latter MP3 before the summer holidays, it was rightly asked: what is the will of God for my vacation? Not as cool
question, right? After all, it's the holidays, God can leave us a little quiet, no? ! I do not know about you, but I find it quite telling that one of the first things we told the holidays approaching it is: whew! I can finally think about myself and not take my head ! So me for the holidays, the Bible is in the closet, it beach, bikini, and fiesta galore! Ibiza or Saint Tropez no matter: they are both "heaven on earth"
Yeah ... except that the problem is that I can not see myself returning to this kind of holiday, and say to God: voila c ' is good, I'm back! not accountable! it's almost as if they would leave on vacation without her husband, he was mistaken, and it came back with a big smile saying hello darling, what was good without you, but hey, now I we just went back and resume normal life!
I read in 1 Corinthians 10. 23: Tell you everything is permitted. Yes, but not everything is good. " Paul shows us here that God lets us do a great deal of freedom: we choose our actions, but it also means that we have a responsibility: not in the eyes of other men, but in the eyes of God, which is our only judge. So we can not put God in the closet during the holidays: for God, he does not put us in brackets, and this is our chance: her absolute loyalty.
God Will he judge me on my choice of holiday? Yes. But then, may be should I spend my vacation locked in a monastery to devote all my time to God, as it he sees that I'm a good Christian ...
No, I think that we should not be mistaken for debate ...
Paul in 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, "Whether you eat, you drink, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God "What Paul wants to tell us? Simply that God is in everything from everyday life: God is not there anymore, or not less then when I go to work or when I'm on vacation. I'm still dependent on God.
Basically, the question is not: what is the will of God for my vacations, but, simply, what is God's will for me? In Romans
6. 13 I read: "Treat yourself to God as creatures from the dead to life, and put yourself entirely to his service as an instrument of what is right. "For this, we need to take a position: as we had pointed out at the last Daniel MP3, the military battle is half won if we knew the correct position. Similarly, by what we choose to do during the holidays, is already taking place.
The real break, they are not vacations, but God. But the holidays are still, admittedly, a special time, away from the stress of work or examinations. So let us take this time to get fully account of what God is doing and for us. And then, the holidays can be a time to just talk about our faith with people we meet on our vacation spot.
Ultimately, God's will for my holiday, it's nothing special: just cultivate their faith through prayer, word, sharing.
So: will there be a place in your suitcase for this condensed happiness? (Show the Bible)
