The posture of our life determines everything. Our standing before God either enables us to fully receive God’s goodness, or it cuts us off from His blessing.
It is possible to attend church regularly and yet have our backs to God. We can attend a worship service and yet have our eyes on idols. We can be fooled into assuming that because we are in the vicinity of God that we are walking closely with Him.
At times we may not even realize that we have our back to the Lord. Because we continue going through our religious rituals, we assume that we have an appropriate posture toward our Lord. Yet God can clearly see when we have turned our back to Him When our backs are turned, we are no longer listening to Him and our life is in no position to do what He commands.
Our words may loudly proclaim our nearness to God but our body language screams out that we are closed to His work in our life. What does the body language of your life reveal about you?
