I've been having a bad attitude lately. Why? I don't know. Maybe because my entire future is hanging in the air.
Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him. ~Dr. Charles Stanley.
Things don't seem to be working out the way I wanted or expected. But, of course that's because God has His plans, and my plans should be His plans, but sometimes aren't.
I've been reading Ecclesiastes lately, and It's really speaking to me. I've been having alot of the same feelings as the Teacher does. More and more lately. Life really is meaningless. Kingdoms rise and fall. People pass away. Toiling hard really doesn't do anything for you if you're dead. Trying to persue the things of this world: money, power, relationships, sex, nice stuff, lots of things..... really is a chasing after the wind. It will all pass away.
A lot of times, I say, "Oh Lord, just come back. What are you waiting for?"
And then I realize that He is waiting for me (and other Christians) to act. I feel as though Christ's return is largely dependent on the acts of the Believers. If we are sitting around (which I tend to do alot) and not doing what He has called us to do, He will wait.
"But I'm so busy!" I say. Yeah, well the accronym for BUSY is:
Being
Under
Satan's
Yoke.
No excuses there.
Praise God
