Not Worth It — Are Worth It

Not Worth It — Are Worth It

Nothing or no one is ever worth getting out of the will of God.

That thing or that place or that person — including yourself — are NOT worth getting out of the will of God. Nothing and nobody is worth jumping ship on Jesus.

But... that place or that person or those people, you've been assigned to love and lead, are worth everything you have, for Christ sake.

When someone wrongs you... that's one thing, but it's an altogether different ballgame if you let them, get you out of God's will. They're NOT worth you missing God's best. But they are WORTH seeing God's best in you. And if you're not careful, you'll let them mislead you, by their wrong doing toward you, and you'll misguide them with your worst and not God's best. They're not worth you getting out of His will but they are worth you staying in favor and faith with the Lord.

Isn't this how Jesus lived before His Father and the world? Nothing was worth getting Him out of the will of God but to Him and His Father, we worth staying the course and giving His life upon the cross.

We'll be better off suffering wrong and being shipwrecked with Jesus than jumping ship without Him (Acts 27). There's nothing anyone CAN do or NOT do that should cause us to abandon God's will. We either jump ship or stay in the boat with Him, because we've chosen to do so and not what they've done to us.

This applies to each of us. Think about what Ephesians 4 teaches us. We're encouraged to never let the sun go down on your wrath (your worst) and give a foothold for the devil to manipulate you or others.
