Only one source of Life

What is your source?  Yes, I asked this question before, but it is a needed one.  Let’s go a little deeper, on what do you depend to live daily?  To make an existence or to at least see the sunlight of tomorrow?  It might be the food on your table, your salary, your boss or a person you started a new venture with.  It might be your parents if you are still living under their roof or your skills that got you the job you now have.

We all have things we depend on for life.  We live in a system that works with money as its currency.  For this reason, we cannot live in this system without this currency.  Money buys you basic needs like food and shelter.  Money buys you education and can open up a future for you.  It creates comfort if you gathered enough, but it can also cause you to have great anxiety when you lost a lot or struggle to gather even little.

We tend to overlook these facts.  Yet, the principle of God being your life and life source is still a principle.  It did not disappear when God saw that we now have money and that if we work hard enough or some opportunities land magically on your lap, that you will survive.  Before our age, there were also things people were dependent on for life.  Even if it was only the meat on the fire in a cave.  What I am about to say might sound strange, if it does, you truly understand the depth of what I am stating here; God is your source of life.  Not the food you eat or the salary you receive.  Not the exercise you get each day or the amount of water you drink.  God.  Before all food and water, God breathed life’s breath into you.  He didn’t need food or water or money for that.  We sustain our lives on that because we are in this world with bodies made of flesh and blood.

Yet with the above being said, we need to realise that we are living a spiritual life through Christ.  That we no longer only depend on the physical.  I am by no means stating that you should quit your job or stop eating.  What I am saying is, realise that this maintains your body, but it is not your source.  That is quite a mind shift.  Peter tried walking on the water.  When you saw his own strength or the science behind H2O as his source, it didn’t work out for him too well.  When you fixed his eyes on God and saw Jesus as his source, he walked on water and defied the laws of nature itself.

If God is not your source, and only you know in your heart what you see as your real source, then you are busy with idol worship.
