The world of fallen men does not honor God. Millions call themselves by His name, it is true, and pay some token respect to Him, but a simple test will show how little He is really honored among them. Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who or what is above, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time. Those other things will be exalted above. However the man may protest, the proof is in the choices he makes day after day throughout his life.
–A. W. Tozer
As you take the simple test, who or what comes out on top?
In each of his “choice between” questions above…
God and money
God and praise of men
God and personal ambition
God and pleasing self
God and human relationships
…does God take first place or second or third or…?
The proof of your love and honor for God yesterday was found in the choices you made yesterday.
Do any of your previous choices need to be adjusted as you begin today?
