I'm unfortunately falling into the early week drone. It's me being human and just trying to get through another day to get to the weekend. Why do we get in these moods? We serve a God that has amazing plans for our lives and has given us a life with Him to look forward to. He has given us minds and mouths to speak His word into peoples lives so that they can experience the same peace we have in knowing that this is not all there is. I wish we were all passionate the minute we wake up to the moment we lay our heads down to put an end to another day.
Humanness!!! That's our problem. That's my problem.
I so want to have the passion outside of church or after a time of a spiritual enlightenment to worship with an unstoppable force. I have those moments, but life seeps back in and makes me take on my humanness again.
Am I making excuses and just calling it humanness?
Maybe satan is using our humanness to keep us in this lukewarm type of attitude.
Why do we say maybe?
I know all scripture is truth, so I should not have any doubt that it's not the way God wants me to live therefore it is satan working against me. We try and make things sound as if they are not that big of a deal. We say:
"Well that's just my humanness coming out again. God made me that way so I guess I'll just keep pressing on....... blah blah blah...........
I don't believe God made you that way. If you read in scripture, which I believe is ALL truth it is very clear on this issue. God doesn't want lukewarm worshipers so why would He make you lukewarm. He even says that because you are lukewarm, I am going to spit you out of my mouth. I don't know about you but I don't want to be any part of God's spit. Talk about an insult that will stick with you forever.
Have you ever been around someone with a bad attitude? Makes you kinda feel grumpy right?
Isn't it a breath of fresh air to be around a person with a positive attitude on things? Makes you relaxed and at ease with whatever the situation is.
Why would we then, not want to walk as close as we can to the God who knows all and made all and has our best interest in mind. To have that peace that everything will work out that way it's supposed to.
I think a constant state of prayer and thanksgiving is the way to begin to break our humanness and live a life of praise and worship to the God of the universe.
I don't know about you but I feel better after putting things down on paper or a blog this time to see what is really going on in my life. I am thankful that I serve a God who forgives us of our humanness and still wants to walk with us every day and lead us in the life He has laid out for us.
So today don't make excuses anymore for your attitude or blame it on something or someone else. Man up and be truthful to yourself and know that only you, with the help of God, can change the way you live.
I hope this has helped you or at least put some reminders or indicators out there for you!
Grace and Peace
Ben
