Does It Really Matter?

I sit here on this Thursday afternoon asking myself this question, "Does it really matter?" What is "it?" It is everything.

Everything I can possibly sit here and wonder about. Everything that I can consider in my life to be important. Every tiny detail of my life that I wonder about, question God about, pray about, and desire for. Does it really matter? I have come to the conclusion that no, it doesn't matter.

Ladies and Gentlemen, nothing matters but Christ and my relationship with Him. I truly do not care about anything else. I am so broken today. God is breaking me down to the very core of what is important in my life. Even the things that were truly important to me that has been stripped away, do not matter as much as the question "Is God pleased with me?" Beyond that question, does anything else really matter?

The enemy is doing his best to destroy my life, and do you know why? Because God has a plan. God has a plan for me and the enemy is trying his best to destroy it. But as I sit here today broken before God, the devil is not going to win. Because the truth still stands, if everything I love is taken away I still want God to be pleased with me. Nothing else really matters beyond that.

The Devil has made a mistake by attacking me. The Lord stands in my defense. He goes before me in the presence of my enemies and He is fighting for me. The battle is not mine, but it is the Lords. Greater is He who is within me, than he that is in the world! Satan is not going to win!

So I ask you today, does it really matter? Is your heart so dedicated to Christ that you can honestly say nothing else matters? I truly believe that if we are going to make it in this horrible, sinful world that our heart has to be in that condition. I make a commitment today to the Lord once again, that nothing else matters. It's all about Him. My life rest in his loving, gracious, powerful, and all knowing hands.

I plead with you today, get your priorities in order. Don't let the enemy decieve you into believing that everything is ok. Search your heart. Ask yourself, "Does it really matter?"

Beyond Him, "It" doesn't matter!
