After a great semester, I can’t help but look back and thank God for the realizations and lessons I have learned.
I’ve learned/realized that every portion of the Bible actually ties back to the Gospel. Jesus is the fulcrum of the entire thing! Everything gets its meaning from him. I have been praying for wisdom in understanding more about the Love and Grace of Jesus. I have understood his love even a little more after this…
I have recently finished a book called “Just Do Something” by Kevin DeYoung. Throughout the book, DeYoung challenged me to quit sitting by and waiting for God to move and let me know what I should do, and instead, choose to do something for God!
Sod the end of the matter is this: Live for God. Obey the Scriptures. Think of others before yourself. Be holy. Love Jesus. And as you do these things, do whatever else you like, with whomever you like, wherever you like, and you’ll be walking in the will of God.
This was strange to me. I have always pictured God having a single will for my life that I can choose or reject. That I can get right or wrong. But really, as long as I’m seeking God and following him, I AM choosing his will and I AM choosing the right path. Within God’s will, I can do no wrong! Thank God for his mighty ways that can put me on the path even when I think all I’ll do is screw it up!
