Daily Adventures

I find time has a fascinating effect on us as people. One minute you feel great, have hope, have focus and are feeling good about where you are going. Then someone says something confusing or you think a sour thought and then you begin to feel down, confused or concerned. If this negative feeling lasts for more than a few hours you begin to forget you ever felt hope or anything at all. You begin to think you are trapped in this great sadness.

This happens seemingly daily to me. I think it comes from my lack of patience, a fruit of the spirit. If I am truly resting in His yoke of apprenticeship then His Spirit will complete this in me, along with all else He has called me to do.

How easily my flesh and The Deceiver dupe me into thinking there is not any hope left!

When I think things are bad, i am usually not looking at them right and something is actually wrong with me. In fact things are usually way way way better than I deserve them to be! I am a blessed man and I forget that all the time! My mind needs to be like David's in Psalm 73:25-28

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

Those who are far from you will perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;

I will tell of all your deeds.

Now I don't know much of anything at all but I believe that this is true. Will I live like "God is the Strength of my heart and my portion forever?" Only by His Grace.

Well that is all for my first blog experience since middle-school and Xanga.
