Day 5

It's the end of Day 5! Only 35 more to go!! That seems like such a large number right now. Strangely enough, I have not found it too difficult today. I was definitely tired today, but after exercising and doing a lot of manual labor for the majority of the day, I would've been tired anyway!

I have discovered that point where there seems to be more clarity in normal things though. I seemed to be more in tune with what the Lord is saying in the littlest things. Sometimes, they are not so little though. Like this morning I had the thought forgive your debtors come to mind. I knew immediately what it was in reference to, and realized while I never expected to get that money back, I had somehow used it in my head to rationalize other things, whether it be a view point or whatever. It also struck me funny to think about how quickly we are willing to forgive some, and not others. I am honestly still processing through what the Lord brought up in this area and will write more about it later.

The Lord has been bringing a lot of things to the surface for me. Things I hadn't thought about it a long time, areas I need improvement on, things I need to focus more attention to, and in general a more deliberate life style. If we are called to a certain life, shouldn't we make as concerted an effort as possible to live everyday with that goal in mind. "Why put off til tomorrow things that can be done today!" How much time we seem to waste these days.

We are the lucky ones. We are the ones that live in a country where worshipping God is permissable. We are lucky to be in the Kingdom! We are lucky that we have an everlasting hope. We are the ones that so often take that for granted. Let us worship Him completely. Let us dance before Him for all those that can't. Let us praise His holy name in the streets! Let us give Him great thanks and praise for all that we have, that we most certainly didn't deserve!
