Profound Quote

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

As I am reading a book by Matthew Elliot titled Feel that was given to me by a great friend of mine, I run across this quote regarding our spirituality.

New idea? … No

Worth a reminder? .. I think so

I can think of spirituality in this same way.  We spend so much effort “doing church,” performing the duties to make events happen, that once we get to the celebration itself we’re tired and numb.  And in the service, then, are we excited?  Probably not.  We’re already thinking of all the duties we have for the next spiritual activity.  Likewise, in our lives in general, we spend our time doing the duties we’ve been taught we must do in order to be a good person.  And in the constant checking off of items on that list, we miss the celebration entirely.

Thoughts?

I ran across this quote today and it really made me think…I thought i would share it.

Often we miss the undeniable work of God because we give up too soon.

I think sometimes we pray for His will or direction in something that we believe is right, and when it is not handed to us immediately we just assume that it is not His will. It sometimes is hard to remember that we are in His Will and NOT Him in ours. Therefore, it is in God’s timing and not ours…
