Lifes Bubble
Todays Youth spends so much time worrying about small things in life and not about what God has in store for them. Instead they continue to be caught up in what I now refer to as "Lifes Bubble". God gave me this just a few minutes ago, and now I will share it with you...
Today my family and I took a small trip to Chattanooga Tennessee, to the Tennessee Aquarium where we were able to view Gods work up close. In the process there was a section in the aquarium where there was a "bubble" that you could climb into to view the "Inside of the Aquarium Outward". Well, I carried my 5 month old son in so he could view th fish "Up Close" and of course it was very beautiful as is all of Gods wonders. But, to get to the part of the story that God has given me...
After we arrived back home I was thinking back, and at once God Spoke, and said it is time for all Christians to come out of their "Bubbles". In this "Bubble" we were inside we could see all around us, but we could reach out to anything, everything looked so wonderful, and yet it was out of our reach, because we were inside this bubble. Until we came out of the bubble we would not be able to get anywhere, and that is when God spoke and gave me this. In todays society everyone has set sort of a standard for everyday living, including the Christians. We have set our selves in a sort of Bubble of Life, doing the same thing over and over again. Well, God has showed me that today due to this ongoing trend of continuous lifestyles we have forgotten our main goals.... Focusing on GOD and allowing HIM to work in our lives for us, instead we want to do things our way. God gave Moses a command in the book of Leviticus chapter 19 "1. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2. Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy." To be Holy you must be a separated person from Sin. God and Sin CAN NOT dwell together, therefore the lifestyles that we choose to go down today in society CAN NOT be pleasing to God. Youth today is into the Body Piercing, and "Cutting" and "carving", but the word of God plainly speaks against such things...
Leviticus 19:28. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
It is time for the people to come out of their "Bubble" and begin to serve God "Whole Heartedly" then shall we see His moving in our lives more abundantly. How can we expect God to move in our lives when we are out right disobeying his word and harming His Temple. Think about this and Pray , ask God to Break you free from "Lifes Bubble".
