So many Christians seem to think they are doing everything they are supposed to do. There is a statement that has been said of the modern church, "10% of the people do 90% percent of the work". How true that statement is. The problem is, the other 90% don't even realize that they are doing just 10%. I think we rely to much on the belief that that is all God requires of us. We think God only owns 10% of our money, time or effort. The truth is God owns it all. He created us, gave us all we have and we return just 10%. Christ was our ultimate example, he gave everything to bring us into a right relationship with God. We should be willing to do no less. When we respond to the grace bestowed on us, after realizing where we stand with God, nothing less than the entirety of our being will suffice.
In your journey do you stand with the 10% or the 90%? The key is to realize there is always more you could be doing. Do get caught in the mind trap, thinking " I have done enough". Enough is never enough, we should continue to follow God wherever He leads and do the work that is there before us. That line in the old hymn, "Where He Leads Me I Will Follow", should be the anthem of our Journey.
I pray your journey will take you to a new level of commitment this week.
