So What is Keeping your From God???

This was brought up in conversation and preached on a while back at church. It really got me thinking about what does keep me from God. Is it a show on TV, friend(s), work, a hobby, family, someone you don't like attending the church, someone made you upset at church, you didn't like the sermon the preacher preached on, and so the excuses can continue. 

I wonder if we would be upset with God if he had excuses as to why he didn't' show up in our life when we needed him.  hhmmmm that is something to think of huh???  I mean we except God to show up when WE want him or need him, what about us?? I mean why do we come up with excuses as to not attending church, praying like we should, honoring God with our words & actions, being kind, showing God's love to another person, showing forgiveness and the list continues. 

So what excuse do you have today as to why your staying away from God? Is it a worthy excuse? If today was your judgement day in from of Jesus Christ, and he asked you why you didn't go to a Spirit filled church? 

Why didn't you testify as to my blessings? 

Why didn't you help that person asking for a couple of dollars, when I blessed you with a great job?  

Why didn't you forgive that person for his harsh words to you?

 Why didn't you pray to me, tell me thank you for your blessings, ask to help your loved ones, didn't you think I'd want to have a talk with you? 

What are you going to tell Jesus Christ that already knows your heart, thoughts, your entire life that Jesus Christ is willing to accept as a "good" excuse not to put him 1st in your life??

Don't let material things, people, and anything to come in between you and God, it is so not worth it. Imagine losing your home in Heaven, for some excuse that amounts to nothing. 

Make sure no one or anything stands in your way on your journey with God.
