are you cooked?

have you ever seen somebody who just prasies God like crazy then stops praising then prasies again then stops again. its weird seeing that. becuase..we are always supposed to praise god. our purpose in life is to be a living sacrifice of worship. so why do we stop praising? i think its simple. its easy to praise god during the times when life is good and feels like he is standing right next to you. you have a visual proof o what he is doing in your life. and others see the proof too. but what about when times are hard and rough and nothing goes your way? what about when you are given the test by God?
i once heard a pastor say this metaphor and it completly changed my life...really. so here it goes. when someone is cooking in the oven..there is a timer. right?.. ok. well its understood that when that timer goes off..the food is ready..well it should be. BUT YET..even when that timer is off..and its looks ready and good and golden brown on the outside..it is still given a final to see if its ready on the inside. you know when you still a fork in the chicken or the chocolate cake. yea..thats a test. and you know where it checks..the inside..where it matters! wow.. did you get it? check it out..even if you look like on the outside you serve God and you seem as though on the inside you love God..God is still going to test you to see if you truly are his servant. wow. crazy right?! and you know what..maybe your timer is still on..your life is going great! Everything is great! well guess what..sry to burst your bubble..but when that timer is beeping..GOD IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A FINAL TEST.
so...are you cooked on the inside? or do you just look like you are done from the outside? do you really love God in the good times and the bad times? or do you just praise his name when all is good? you might look cooked on the outside..(go to church, have your big bible, lift your hands)..but you cant just look it..you gotta live it!
so..again i ask... are you cooked?
