A Bread Crumb and Fish

Sometimes, it's important to just tell ourselves to just STOP IT. I've had a good discussion with a friend couple days ago, and he's been telling me some of his struggles. He's been praying for God's strength, but failed to realized that much of what he does needs to be stopped by no other than himself.

I think if we truly understand God's grace and treated it as seriously as we should, much of our struggles can be easily dealt with. God's grace shows us his commitment and because He commits so much into our lives, He expects us to do the same thing. In the Old Testament, He required men to be circumcised as signs to show that they've accepted the will of the Father. But that's what exactly God expects from us. Accepting God's grace also means that we're required to give everything that we have to Him, and the Bible tells us that in the most obvious way. It's gross, but what God required for His men back in the Old Testament is one of the most graphic and painful ways to show they're committed...look up flint-stones on google (ouch).

That thought really got me thinking about how I should approach asking God for forgiveness and favors. It's easy to ask God to give you strength, wisdom, knowledge, and power. How much of what we lack is due to laziness? Whatever is that you are doing wrong, STOP IT.


blahhhh blah blah blah. k done.
