Who or What is Your Life Exalting?
Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and to bring Him nearer to our own image. The pursuit of God will embrace the labor of bringing our total personality into conformity to His.
Our break with the world will be the direct outcome of our changed relation to God.
For the world of fallen men and women 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 person be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and their true position will be exposed. Let them be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and people, 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. Though the person may protest, the proof is in the choices they make day after day throughout their life.

There is no middle ground in the life of the true believer – you are either all in, or, you’re all out. And we all make the daily choice whether we admit to it or not. By not choosing to exalt God over all else – our default choice is to exalt someone or something above God. We will all stand before God, individually, one day, and give an account of our life choices.
