I believe you're my portion.I believe you're more than enough for meare we in..
The Pursuit of Nothing?No, this post isn't about attaining n
irvana like the b
uddhists. just would like to share a thought with you guys(:
I was listening to the song "healer" by planetshakers and these two lines really spoke to me. (go listen to it if you guys have a chance, it's on my blog) The first line brought the priests of the old testament to mind. (remember that we are called a royal priesthood) The Priests and Levites in the old testament didn't have any land as inheritance when they entered the Promised land, but rather, their inheritance was their God.
"The Lord said to Aaron, 'You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites.'" - Numbers 18:20
Is God our portion? Yes.
Is He really more than enough for us? Yes.
What's the price? Everything.
Is it worth it? Of course!
Jesus said that if anyone does not carry his cross and follow Him, he cannot be His disciple. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the rat race, especially when we see everyone going for it. you name it. Popularity, relationships, good results, great careers, leadership positions, prestige, high paychecks, big houses, dot dot dot... but end of the day what's the point?
could i challenge you to think that even if we lose
everything, but still have jesus, we still win? the day will come, sooner than you think, when we have to stand before the judgement seat of God. we're still young, and we don't always like to think about something so far off, but the fact is, it's there. like it or not, it's coming.
when that day comes, and you are stripped of everything, what would be left? have you been living your life in a way that matters in eternity?
We don't need good grades to be loved.
We don't need to look good to be accepted.
We don't have to be smart to fit in.
God says that YOU belong to him. remember the verse i shared on sat?
"You did not choose me, but
I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last." John 15:16
all the things that i've mentioned aren't wrong things. by all means, study hard. but remember to bring it under the authority of jesus (: cos a life that is void of jesus is void of life.
God is our portion, and He's all we need. Live for Him and you'll soon discover the riches that you have in Christ Jesus. (:
Pursue
something, not
nothing.God bless!!!! (:
