The Will Of God

Hi lovely people!!

So I went to church today, and the sermon was on The Will Of God. I hope God's Will comes to pass in everyone's lives, Amen. That being said, I'd like to share an analogy the pastor gave, which I thought was interesting.

Imagine there is a stream, and kids try to create a dam in the middle somewhere, ok. What happens? The dam might keep the water for a while, but after a while the water either finds its way around the stones or pushes the stones away with a greater force, right? Especially if there's a storm or something. Well, its the same with God's Will - sometimes there are circumstances, internal and/or external forces, bad decisions, wrong choices, indecision, errors, temporary failures, enemies trying to just hinder your progress (like joke), and all these things try to block the God's Will from coming to pass in your life. However, His Will always comes to pass, one way or the other, there is always a way.. it might take a different form, change drastically or ever so slightly, you may go through through all sorts of hell, but like the water behind the dam, with persistence (prayer, fasting, hope, endurance, hard work etc).. there is always a way. It may be mad slow, but it always comes... that is, if its His Will.

Best Wishes,
Shels

We live to see...

Young as we are we all have needs and wants, most of which as children of God we channel to Him. Our prayers and life in general are about what He can do for us and sometimes (which should not be the case) what we can do for Him, so to speak. But have you ever wondered what your needs would be when you grow old and may have fulfilled most of your earthly requirements?
Yesterday at church a group of well aged men and women gave me insight into and a glimpse of what life ends up being all about in old age. An elderly man from the group said a couple of things I couldn't hear but their song re-emphasized it all. In a nutshell, the end is all about God's glory filling the earth and the universe thereof. Elderly people don't worry much about wants and needs as much as they wallow in great expectation of the Second Coming, when all evil and earthly desires will fade away and the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed. Then I remembered what serving God is all about. It's not about the 'going to heaven' aspect, rather, it's about the eternal glory of God and us being a part of it. Throughout our lives we hear about God in all his splendor and might and glory, and only experience a microcosm of it. Serving God is more satisfying when we hold and press on towards the goal of seeing the fullness of the His glory.
