So, when God presents an opportunity to follow Him, to trust Him, to increase our faith and stop trustin our idols, What do we do? It seems to me that when God wants to change our perspective, our stupidity about the way we know him, and he presents opportunities to trust him, most of us will rather continue trusting that a job behind our desk or inside our office where we can drink all the coffee that we want and "interact" with people is better than complete abandonment. When He presents an opportunity to give away everything we have because we need to know Him and following Him, the security and peace that our 401k, mutual funds and stocks give us speak louder than his sweet voice. Lets cut the BS, why we teach David Ramsey's seminars more often in our country club churches instead of Matthew 10? Because loving this world is fun! It's rewarding! We need our members to be financially sound for our own benefit! we don't trust him! we trust ourselves, let's cut the BS, we were indoctrinated and we teach people to love this world, to love sucess, to love what we see, that includes safety and security.
So when God presents us with an opportunity to depend on Him we simply say: "my love for my sucess doesn't allow me to follow you Jesus" we turn around and go back sad, with broken hearts, yet unchanged, we go back sad to continue missing the point, to continue misleading people, to carry on with our love for this world. We live sad lives full of idolatry for what we see, for what we rationalize and try to justify with altruism and false discipleship. When will we stop fooling ourselves and others? When would we understand that no one can truly follow Him from the comfort of a desk, behind a computer or attending church on Sundays. So how do I interpret opportunities? The Jesus way? I'll follow you regardless the place, paycheck, health or 401k? Sure.
