I just heard a song on the radio, its one I hear all the time but today it had a different, stronger effect on me. The song is "King of the World " by Natalie Grant, its not just the song but a specific part that really got me. " When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world, I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world." I realize we all try to take life back and we think we can do it on our own, we forget that we cant but our pride makes us box God up and keep him right there for when we want him, we try to run our lives slacking off our devotions and time with him and we think we know what were doing, that we have everything under control ,when in reality we are crumbling to pieces because we are looking in the wrong direction for everything we want. This could be looking to the wrong guys for attention or just socializing in general as i have recently made the mistake of.. or could be that new job that looks so good but in reality could destroy something else. God gives us warnings ,he reaches out but its like we get into this mode where our pride gets so strong we go blind to his plan for us. Lucky for us once we realize that we have strayed, he welcomes us back with open arms and you can get back on track. The fact is were human and we aren't perfect , that's why Jesus died for us because we are sinners and we mess up. We all stray ,the important part is that we realize when we do and we work to get back on track. As much as life tries to tell us theirs happiness in some things ,we can only truly find joy in Jesus Christ and I'm so thankful that when my teenage brain gets swamped by society and I loose sight of whats important that he is right here to pick me up again. Today I challenge you to look at your life right now, is it what you want? Are you the person you want to be? If you answer no to these than maybe evaluate, is something missing? If so are you slacking on devotions or your time with God? Or maybe your not a believer in that case I encourage you to give God a try and see what he can do in your life, maybe something beyond what you ever imagined. All you have to do is ask :)
There have been several topics on my mind and heart the last week. So I pray right now that God present them here the way he wants them written and understood. One topic I'm sure I've touched on before is uncertainty, however I feel it is more relevant now than possibly ever. In this world the only certainty we havw perhaps is uncertainty, key words here; this world. As I've mulled this topic over in my mind a couple things have become clear: -uncertainty forces growth of faith. -community and relationships are of utmost importance. -In an uncertain world and constantly uncertain times, we as humans need Jesus, our rock and savior more then ever before. -Lastly (for now) we need to be building our boats to withstand rough waters every day even as the water is still so that when the inevitable tsunami hits, the storm of life won't wash us away. This analogy sums up most of the main points, together with those whom we are building relationships, we should be building...
