| | "Our Place"
Isaiah 29 [link]
We forget it too easily -- our place. We are quick, like those here, to try and tell God what's best. Like characters in a story, we love to say, "Our Author never wrote us!" We like to make up our own facts and say what we think is right. We ignore the author as much as possible.
We forget who we are with respect to Him. We forget our place.
So let's strive to not do that. Let's strive to remember how big God is. To remember who we are compared to Him. That indeed, He does have it all under control, and nothing happens which He has not already seen. He's got things under control, and He can write in whatever He wants to in the next chapter. All we need to do is make it from this one to the next. We don't have to write it or make it up ourselves. He's the one in control.
So let's stop pretending like we know it all. Let's stop pretending that we know how things are going to go, and how we should move, and on and on. We push God out and try to maneuver our way into the control seat in a very sneaky way. We push God out while making it seem like He's in control. Instead, let's let Him actually be in control.
Heavenly Father, thank You for being so wonderful. Thank You for being so fantastic! Help us to glorify You in all we do, and help us to praise, worship, and honor You, too. Please, Lord -- don't let us continue to think we've got things all under control. Help us to remember who we are before You. Help us to not push You out, but let You settle into the center of our lives. Let all we do center around You, Lord. Help us to follow after You whole-heartedly. Thank You, Abba. May Your Name be given all the glory, honor, and praise, Lord!
Amen.
Score!
State: Good
Work tonight was long. I worked with the girl who essentially is the kind of person you may know as "the one who gets nothing done, ever." Tonight I think she got even less done than usual. I got to play "do it all anyway."
Otherwise, life's good. We found out they're selling off the old Halloween candy for super cheap now. We got like... 100 mini Snickers / 3 Musketeers for about $4. It was sweet. Actually, it still is. ;P
And here I am writing this. We've been having a mouse-guest in our apartment occasionally. Our landlord came over and gave us some mouse traps. They're more like sticky-traps, really. We also changed the light bulb in our bedroom, too. That was good.
I guess that's about it for right now. Tomorrow morning I'm hoping to go to the "new member's meeting" at Christ Chapel.
I'm still trying to get the last few things to fall into place for my Semlink, though. I have responses to do, and people who need to get my e-mails, yet aren't. Oh boogers.
Well, God bless, all!
