I find it quite funny to watch the inner workings of my mind. To observe what things grab my attention; it varies from day to day. I see how the things of my mind will then start to pull at my heartstrings convincing me of what I now think I need. Whether it's a new wardrobe, new schedule, new music to listen to, new way to go about life. I find it's never quite satisfying enough. Then it dawns on me that my wanter is wanting that which can only be satisfied in Christ.
Just this morning I was so encouraged reading the book of Acts. I was envisioning Paul and Barnabus teaching the Jews and Gentiles fearlessly about Christ... then my mind wanders to what my life is about. Why is it that I am not very passionate about Christ. I feel all cold realizing how I let all the "things" of this world so quickly take hold of me - convincing me of their importance.
We are celebrating Easter tomorrow. (shall I say that again in a little different way?) We are celebrating Jesus Christ who died on a cross and then breathed, walked, spoke just three days later. Ah-mazing!!! This mighty God who has risen from the dead.. he did it!
As I type these words I think that just expressing what my God did truly puts me in my place. Why do I become distracted with petty things of life and lose focus of this miraculous truth? I serve this God! What a privilege it is to be a daughter of the Most Holy God.
