One day I was meditating, thinking about my brothers and sisters in Christ and even myself and wondering about true salvation. Some of us have been saved for quite a while still struggling with the sins we commited before we got saved. When we receive our salvation some sins fall off right away but some may take longer to bring under control with the help of Jesus. But how long does it take to bring some sinful activities under subjection? It’s according to how much God you want in your life. Some so called christians think that going to church every Sunday is enough but the rest of their life during the week doesn’t represent too much about Christ. These are the people I am talking about. I want to ask a question; Do you think you are really saved and on your way to heaven? Maybe you think so because God used or is using you to do some good things. Maybe you hold some position in church or you might do a lot of volunteer work or some other good works. But does this make you saved? In Numbers chapter 22 God used a donkey to do His will. In this chapter a man was hired to prophesy against God’s people. While he rode his donkey toward his assignment an Angel of the Lord with a drawn sword stood before him and the donkey but the donkey was the only one that could see the Angel. As he rode, the donkey turned to the side every time the Angel appeared before her and each time she turned the man struck her. Soon the donkey laid down and the man was ready to hit her again, that’s when the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth and she began to speak asking the man why was he hitting her. The Angel of the Lord later spoke up telling the man if the donkey would have continued He would have killed him. So if  God can use a donkey he can use you without being saved. I’m not saying this stuff to insult anybody, I just want all of us to walk the best we can before God. You are not going to be perfect but you should strive to do your very best. So examine your way of life before and after you received Jesus as your Savior. Are you moving closer to God each day or are you still doing pretty much the same things you did before you got saved? Doing churchy things don’t make you saved. Do you have a heart for God and try to live the way He wants you to live everyday? If you do it will show without you even trying, you can’t fake it and if you do it will show sooner or later. Study your Bible and find out what true salvation is and ask God in the name of Jesus to help you live that way. When you feel the Holy Spirit let Him guide you, don’t ignore Him. Don’t be a donkey be a tool for God all the time. 

    Prayer

Father God You truly are an awesome Master . Thank You for using us whether we want to be used or not. Please lead us into true salvation so we can be used because we want to. Right now we commit our lives over into Your hands to do with us whatever You want. Your will be done not ours. In Jesus name we pray. AMEN
