My First Blogspot Post!

Today I was looking at lyrics from a Disciple song called "Fall on Me". It goes like this:

Take my eyes from me, so I will see in Spirit
Change my mind to think, on what You see fit
The heavens declare Your glory, but does my witness
May You be glorified in me, Lord may I be blameless

Chorus
Fall on me

I am available to do Your will
In my life I pray Your Word is fulfilled...

And it continues.

Goodness gracious! Lyrics like that REALLY stir up a passion in me! I dug deep into each verse, and oh goodness! Aren't those awesome lyrics?! The "I am available to do Your will" part made me wonder...

#1: AM I making myself available to do God's Will?

#2: What IS God's will for my life?

#3: How does this apply to RIGHT NOW?

& #4: What changes should I make in my life to better live out God's will?

One of the first things God pointed out to me is that He wants a relationship with me. This is part of His will for my life. There are too many days that go by in my life where I decide to pass on my Bible time, or wait until the "next day" to write in my prayer journal, because I am "too tired" or "too busy" at the current moment. So I decided to make it a number 1 priority to do prayer, Bible & devotional time every day. I usually do, but I have found it too easy to put time with God aside some days because of my selfishness. I think I'd rather sit around and do nothing. So, there is one change in my life that I can make. There are so many more that I need to make, though. I cannot believe how selfish I am!

The current series at our Church is called "Fanatic". The main point of the series is that there is a war going on for our worship. Satan tries to get us to worship anything or anyone other than God, where as God wants to have all of our worship. He is the only one worthy of our worship. Today our campus Pastor was talking about how his wife is fanatical about George Clooney, and one time, she got a chance to meet him. She was, of course, delighted, and was not only going to NOT pass on the offer, but of course she was rushing & very excited about this chance that she got. Pastor Tome made a good point that we need to be like that with God. If I was offered the chance to go spend a day with a member of Disciple, I would flip out, and be beyond excited! Which isn't a bad thing, of course, but then I think... I am offered time with GOD every single day! The Creator of the Universe, the Almighty and merciful God! The only one worthy of my worship. I TURN THAT AWAY! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would DO that? What kind of logic is that? Seriously!

Lord Jesus, please teach me what it means to truly love You. Make me FANATICAL about You!
