Change in our world. Change in my world. Maybe if my world is God’s world.
I can’t sleep, all I can think about are the possibilities and potential of this generation. I’ve never thought about it until this moment as I write, but I can completely relate to Moses, I am terrified. I have prayed before that God would make me great in His Kingdom, to serve Him with the skills He has blessed me with, or in some senses, cursed me with. But in relation to Moses I am feel called to this greater thing, but oh my gosh, I feel like a million butterflies are crawling my stomach and filing me with a nervous anticipation. It is life, and it’s gonna be more than I am even imagine.
I have been reading in Ezra tonight, I didn’t really know a lot about Ezra, but I am so glad I chose to read through it. Wow, he is a man of God if I’ve ever heard of one. His thinking lines up so perfect with what I have learned to be true and important and righteous in life. He believes with all his heart that it is vitally important to spend time in Scripture and Worship of God. To Ezra, the Word of God and the Worship of THE God of Heaven were the two integral pieces of maintaining our Identity as the People of God. We change our identity or sustain this identity without spending time in scripture & worshiping our God. How basic. We try so hard to change ourselves and do things to help and blah blah blah. It’s so simple. I wonder if this is where the Church as we know it has gone wrong, did we forget how to find and solidify our Identity? So many people in the world, even the Christian subculture are so confused as to who they are. Well, no wonder, we forgot the simple basic stuff. At least understanding how important it is.
We live in a generation where things will change. Christianity will come to a place, in my opinion, where we (Christians) will have to make a huge choice if we’re going to live our faith or if we’ll walk the fence. Personally, I hope and pray for the courage to make the choice to live a life that is totally free. A life where I know exactly what my Identity is, and knowing what my identity is with such conviction that I know exactly what my course of action should and will be. Strength given through my Identity, Christ. Ah, so simple!
I feel like i just woke up, like I’ve been in a trance or asleep while life has been happening but I haven’t be there to live it. I am alive now, it’s time to decide again what life is going to be, remind myself again what my Identity is and maintain, solidify and make it forever.
Thank you God for wisdom, knowledge, Your Word, whatever I am meaning to say right now. Thanks for giving me breath you didn’t promise me 37 minutes ago.
Do yourself a favor, get in Ezra and read it up. Then read it again. Then think about it. Don’t just read it, read it. If you have the time, you know…
