Yesterday I heard a young lady speak who was quite good. She was very personable and had some interesting things to say. During her talk she said that in almost every letter she gets people will say, “Thanks for keeping it real”, “Thanks for being real”, “Thanks for making it real”. Then she looked at the audience and said, “Don’t you find that scary?”

Now, that’s good!

People are so used to the things of God NOT BEING REAL. Instead, Godly matters are represented as mystical, supernatural or just out of reach unless you are a super-dedicated, super-motivated, super-righteous, super-religious individual.

God doesn’t live on a throne at the top of heavenly Mt. Olympus passing judgments and controlling lives, God lives on the street, in the living room, in the bedroom, in the quiet desperate moments as well as happy blessed events of people’s lives.

There is a difference between those who are just in love with the “idea of God” or the “idea of Christianity” and those who practice God and practice Christianity. The idea of Christianity can afford to EXCLUDE all that are not of a similar belief. But the practice of Christianity must INCLUDE by love all people regardless of belief-that’s keeping it real.

I’m not interested in meeting God once a week at the local spiritual-filling station conveniently located on every other corner. I want God to be there when I wake up every morning so we can plan the day. I want Him there when I have to write my first email of the day and the last email of the day. I want Him around for every call I have to make; with me on every errand I have to run and advising and forecasting what’s ahead on the course we are taking.

That’s what is real to me. Keep God real in your life and your results and your prosperity will be real.

God’s best to you,
Duke Clarke
