We make a vow to submit our life to Christ but then spend 99 percent of our time excluding him from our awareness. We make him Lord over our life in theory, but we do not make him Lord over most of the moments that make up our life. For Jesus to be our Lord, he must be Lord over our actual life - the one we live moment-by-moment. The only relevant question is, Are we surrendering our life to Christ as Lord right now? Is this a moment in which we are aware of, and surrendered to, Christ’s Lordship? Is this a moment over which God reigns as King? Are we, in this moment, living within the Kingdom of God?
