Do we steal from God, YES WE DO! 1 Cor 6:20 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body[a] and in your spirit, which are God’s.& PSalm 24:1 1 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. 1 Cor 6:19 & 20: 9 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body[c] and in your spirit, which are God’s.
So since we are not our own if we do whatever we want with our bodies, and don't even ask the Lord, or do things with our bodies that He would not approve of, are we not stealing what is His? If I take a neighbors lawn hose and poke it with a bunch of holes soI can see how cool it looks when it sprays in all different directions because I think that's neat, isn't that stealing? Or if I stretch out that hose by stuffing it full of stuff to see how much it can handle, and I cause all kinds of problems and end up ruining it, don't I owe that man a new hose, because it's not mine? Even if I borrow it for 20 years and plop it on his lawn all stretched out, or full of holes, I have still taken what is not mine and done what I want with it. The biggest difference is, we still think our body is ours, so we use it like it is! We are robing God!It's time we start living in every way for our Lord, our Great and Mighty God, who paid an incredible price for us that we may live for Him.
There's a new Sanctus Reel song on the radio and part of it say, "Lead me with strong hands" and it's talking about how we as men need to lead with integrity, faithfulness, not with weak faithless hands, it just really touched me! Here it is:
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone
Let us as men lead with strong hands and glorify God who is in us! Here's 1 Cor 6:12-1815 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”[b] 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
