Lately I've been seeing, first and fore mostly in myself, that we build up these walls to keep God out. Our flesh is very cunning. We rarely question anything we hear. We assume and agree with what ever we are taught, with little adhering to God's word or to even pray for Him to give us wisdom and discernment.And most of us, well, we say we are on fire for God, yet often we try to sanctify our life around our comfort instead of radically reorienting our lives for Jesus. Denying everything for those in need and sharing Jesus.
"The problem is much of what we believe is often based more on comfort or our culture's traditions than on the Bible."
There should really be no difference in passion for Jesus and saving souls in a missionary being martyred in some remote village than a mundane man working 8 hours a day 5 days a week and a house wife taking care of the kids. Both should be equally grieved that souls are dieing and going to hell and on fire for the Gospel. And both should be daily seeking God and trying to decipher His will.
Yet, this it the part where we become practical atheists. We have these plans set: go to school, get degree, get married, have family. While this maybe His will for some, it isn't for everyone. God will be glorified by everyone differently. But we close God out by our comfort and culture. We choose not to seek God but play religion. Perhaps God wants you to quit school and work full time.
God's will for you today, may not be His will for you tomorrow.
Seek in everything to please God and challenge all you hear to what His word says.
