Deal maker, or deal breaker?

In business, there are agreements that have to be made; plans that must be established; boundaries that are apparent. To be successful you have to be honest, and compromises will inevitably need to take place. There are certain situations that hinder progress. If your contract specifies certain tasks to be completed before signing and there is dishonesty from the other person, this could be a deal breaker.

As a Christian, we don’t make ‘deals’ with God. We shouldn’t be saying to God, “if you give me this, then I’ll do this.” This is not the way it works.

God loves His children and wants the best for them. But, just as any parent will tell you, I don’t make deals with my kids; they know the rules. If a rule is broken, justice will need to be served. If you follow my rules, then everything runs smoothly.

We’re also not robots. Christians don’t just go by rules and live their life trying not to break them. We obey. Why? Because we know the ‘deal maker.’ I don’t just read the Bible because I know it pleases God. I read the Bible to learn more about Him. I love learning about how He loves us, and how He blesses us.

God is the creator of the universe. He knows the end of our story. He’s not out to make a deal with you, but He will show you His love, His power and His mercy, if you let Him.

Follow God. No excuses.

John 10:27 - “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
