After spending something thinking about where I was just a few short years ago to where I am now I am reminded I still have things that are a part of me that shouldn’t be. God has been and is still doing an amazing work in my life and it is only by His grace & mercy that I am who I am today. I see glimpses of change that I never thought possible in my actions, thoughts, and motives. I truly want to be all that God has called me to be but there are things that I must change in order for that to come. I heard a quote from Mark Hall (Casting Crown’s Lead Singer), and he said, “So many men are passionate today about things that don’t matter and passive about the things that do.” This hit me hard and made me really evaluate my day-to-day, as we all should. Why is it that we can get excited about a sports team, a video game, a car, money, a potential spouse, yet we are passive and sometimes unaffected by Christ? I ask this question to all of us, because I too am guilty of being passive about my walk with the Lord. This world is so filled with distractions and from every corner things are competing for our attention. Unless we are militant about spending time with God daily we are vulnerable to falling into the time traps set for us. Balance is one of the hardest things to manage in our lives and I am speaking this from personal experience. I believe that a truly balanced life cannot be obtained unless you are spending time with God in prayer and through the studying of scripture first.
"Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted."– Psalm 127:1a
