The Fast of Daniel- Day Five

Day 5
December 15, 2011

I was not able to write yesterday because I was so busy. But here's my reflection of yesterdays message (Bishop Macedo's Blog)
 Two kinds of offerings indeed. There are people who never want to turn to God because they are completely aware that if they do they will need to sacrifice something. They know that what they'll sacrifice is what they like. It could be addictions, sin, their own will, etc. It's the fact that they're not ready to give it up that they wont go that extra mile to find happiness. What they are unaware of is that when they choose to not sacrifice to God, they are choosing to sacrifice for the devil. When I see people whose lives are in the devils hands, they are destroyed, they have no strength, they don't see life as people with God do. The tight situations they are in force them to do sacrifices that they wouldn't want to do if they didn't have to.

I heard a story not too long ago in one of our services. It was about choices. More specifically It was about choosing God:

There was a standing on a wall. On one side of the wall was God, along with His angels. On the other side was Satan, along with his angels. On God's side was God and the angels calling the man, telling him to choose Him. Telling him that it was the best choice. On the other side was Satan and his angels, only staring at him and smiling. They didn't speak, nor did they make any offers. All they did was stand there, stare and Smile. The man on the wall grew confused. So he asked Satan, "Why aren't you trying to get me to choose your side? Aren't you concerned that I wont choose you?"  Satan smiled and answered "I don't need to try, you turn to me the moment you don't choose Him."

If you want to turn to God yet don't decide you basically turn to Satan. The moment you grow indecisive is the moment Satan finds a way into your life.  Make a choice. Choose God.
