It's All About Him
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS
Colossians 3:16-17, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."
Every nation, tribe, kindred, land, and people need to know that it is all about
HIM! Recently, I saw those words in many languages and it struck my heart as I
live in a country that reflects more and more that it is not about Him...

Colossians was written by the apostle Paul, to teach us the supremacy of Christ.
He is all we need! He is all sufficient. His Word is sufficient. His people who
are dependent upon His Spirit will reflect these truths in the life they live.
When we are experiencing the life of Christ lived through us, by the power of the
Holy Spirit in us, we can bring Light to a darkened world!
Scriptures
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing
one another..." explains our position to the Word of God. We need to meditate daily
on its truths. Nine years ago, I started the practice of using the "It's Personal"
Daily Journal written by Steve Curington and Reformers Unanimous. My personal walk
with the Lord has been incredibly sweet as one or two verses are chosen daily and
dissected & defined, as to understand the words and make them applicable to my life
for that day. We are commanded to daily search the scriptures. Psalm 1 and Joshua
1, both remind us of the importance and success that is associated with meditating
on the scriptures daily. Do you have a verse chosen for today? I have found that
when I spend time in His word, it drives me to spend time on my knees.
Singing
"...Admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to the Lord". There will be a song in our heart (meditations)
when you walk in the Spirit and flood yourself with the scriptures. If there is
one thing I added to the daily journal over these years, it would be to choose a
song for my heart each day. I often say that next to your Bible, a good, old-fashioned,
songbook/hymnal is the most important book to have near you daily. The man or woman
who walks with God has found his/her destination! We were created to worship the
Creator. So many people today worship the creature or something creatures have
made. When we have the right song in our heart that glorifies God, the world looks
beyond us, to Him. It's not about me, it's not about you, it's all about Him.
Sowing
Thirdly, when one spends time developing a love relationship with the Savoiur, and
the song in his heart magnifies the Savoiur, everything He says and does, will glorify
his Master. My wife and I are in Lancaster, California. We both commented on the
helpfulness and friendliness of several workers in different organizations. One
was Best Buy, then an Olive Garden restaurant(my wife's favorite,) and also the
hotel in which we are staying. I have to tell you the workers of those establishments
should be proud of the reflection those employees gave to the organization. So it
is with Christians.
We are to be a reflection of all that He is. We are to give the right impression
of Him. This is the meaning of glorify God. 1Corinthians 10:31 "Whether therefore
ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." As Bro. Curington
taught for 14 years, glorify God means to make God look good!
Thought provoking questions for today:
1. Do you have a scheduled time and place to dive into the scriptures today?
2. Are you going to choose one or more to personalize and meditate on today?
3. What is the song in your heart today?
4. Will you let the world determine your song or your Master?
5. Have you planned out some things you will do today to give the right opinion
to others of Christ?
The next time you're feeling prideful, remember it's not about me, it's not about
you, it's all about HIM! (Thank you, Mark Gray, for writing the song that has stuck
with me!)

It's not about us, it's not about them,
It's not about you or me, it's all about Him,
Oh, the next time you're feeling prideful,
Remember pride's a sin,
It's not about us, it's all about Him
It's not about me, it's not about you,
It's not about who you are or what you can do,
It's all about serving the Lord, seeking His face,
And praising Him for His mercy and grace,
It's not us, it's all about Him,
When you finally see, it's not about you,
Then you will find what Jesus Christ can do,
He might call you to preach, or to a foreign field,
It's amazing what God can do if you will just yield,
It's not us, it's All About Him!!!
