God, version 1.0...no updates needed.

In my job, I deal with a lot of design software. One program that I was encouraged to download and try out was Google Sketch-Up (3-D). The software company allows anyone to download this trial version software and try it out for FREE. Not a bad bargain. First you can try it, see if you like it or have any idea how to operate it. Then you either make the COMMITMENT to purchase, continue to use it in its limited version, or let the software become void after a period of time.

As I continued to use my software in its limited version, I looked up some shortcuts and ideas that I could use to make the work go easier. Wow! There were some awesome things you could do ---with the FULL version.

Many times we give God the same TRIAL VERSION treatment. “God, I will do this thing if you will do this for me.” “I’m just not sure God, show me 3 signs and make it snow in June.” “I really want to God, but I just don’t have those resources.” Or sometimes, we just don’t want to make the FULL commitment to His will, afraid that it may not be worth the expense of our time and resources.

In John 12:44, “Jesus shouted to the crowds, “If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me!” I love the fact that Jesus shouted, giving what He was saying such that emphasis. Sometimes I need that too.

As the new year begins, ask God what He wants you to do this year. Pray that you will be able to make the FULL commitment to His will, then watch God use you to your FULL potential. After all, downloading the full version of God is FREE with lots of benefits and rewards.

Let’s make 2009 a God year!!
Discover God’s Love and Live to Give It Away.
