so i guess i wanted to blog about this but never actually did. soooooo a month ago i was randomly flipping around in my bible to find a particular psalm (lack of biblegateway) and i came across this verse (or at part of it).
I desire to do your will, O my God - Psalm 40:8
in this verse i learned that you have to love God to truly serve him. even if you do his will without loving him you're just wasting your own time. i guessing thats difference between the crowd and christians. if the crowd goes to africa for a mission, i'd like to say that they are working in the shadow of God's will. what i mean by that is that they are doing a good thing which is 'worldly' if you will, which doesn't make it serving in God's eyes because that 'serving' is for the benefits of the world?
this verse also 'tells' me that serving God is natural. if you love God, you eventually serve. that's simply an inevitable process. here's a very crappy example :
in tennis muscling the ball (hitting the ball with only the arm) will not get you very far into the game. although you seem to be hitting hard because you're muscling, it isn't the full potencial of the shot.
so i've learned not to muscle the serving process, i'll be called, when i'm called.
pretty bad comeback blog, tons of mistakes, but aww wells
maybe i shoulda made an analogy about bleach/naruto so it'd be more comprehendable for jon and enoch >< we'll see
G'nites folks and have a good one
