Today's verse: Matthew 16:24 "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
Day one. I can't tell you how excited I am! The devotion got me off to a great start this morning and I had a really nice day; filled with times where I thought and prayed and times where I wondered what on earth I've gotten myself into.
One thing I'm really questioning and if you have any ideas please share... why is it that we feed our selfish interests? You know, we go see that movie even though we know that it doesn't have any redeeming qualities (maybe we heard that it's funny...) and we don't protest that school book that has the dirty content and we listen to the music that has the language... sometimes we even seek the attention of people who aren't seeking God. huh... Why? I'm not saying that I don't do those things I'm just saying why would anyone. Why would we ever seek anything that wasn't pure and good and godly and whole and lovely and truly beautiful. What do you think? Any thoughts, I would love to talk to you about it!
Yours Forever In Christ,

That's a good question. Maybe it's because we feel the need for attention and the only way to get that attention is by conforming or changing our standards? Perhaps?
ReplyDeleteCould be... so we desire the attention of people more than God? And we probably like the feeling of being part of the 'in-crowd'
