Change

I like change…  What I should say is that I like the change that knowing the eternal God causes in the lives of mortal men.  I like that He did everything necessary to make us new creations; to give us new hopes and dreams, new desires and passions.  About ten years ago God did that change in me.  He changed me and gave me new life.

Over the years, like many people, those new hopes and dreams became clouded by the day to day rat race of life.  But, no more.  I came upon a couple of verses in a Bible study last week that reminded me of the purpose of that new life that God gave.

Eph 5:15-18

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.  So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

The will of the Lord is this: to live out the life that God has given in such a joyous way that it brings Him glory as the only one who can truly satisfy.  The days are evil, so I (we) must live carefully, not letting our jobs our friends, or even our families get in the way of what God has called us to do.

And, because I have been reminded of the great task of bringing the Truth of God to those I know, I am going to do a lot more God oriented posts on this website.  I plan on adding a lot of new links to other like-minded sites as well as writing more about the things of God that are important to me and my family.  Change is good.  And I thank God that He has refocused my life and reminded me of what it means to live for His will.  Now I pray that daily He will renew me with His Truth.
