Good Times

I am amazed at the amount of information we take in every day.  Today, I should be on information overload, but instead seem to be like a sponge.  Waiting on the edge of my seat for the next tidbit or nugget from God.  One person described it as "crumbs from God."  Call it what you will.  All I know is that it is very exciting. 
Not too long ago I realized that "I have sung other people's songs all my life.  It's time I sing my own song!  And sing it I will!"
More recently I found out that people's praise is fickle.  One person may think your scribbles are like Michaelangelo's Cistine Chapel.  The next person may look and say they are "bad art".   God's opinion is what matters to me.  I know that He gave me every good gift and all the praise goes back to Him for anything good I may do. 

I find it interesting that God has told be that there are people who I need not be concerned about.  I find people "worship" boring.  Today in the supermarket was a magazine with three girls on the cover.  Turns out they are Kardashians.  Really?  I couldn't pick one of them out of a crowd of 5.  Even they will have to bow their knee someday to the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  I have more of a problem really with people worshipping the "clergy".   And as soon as some read that sentence they will begin spewing defensive talk.  I start cringing when I'm in a church and people start going on and on about how blessed we are to have Paster So-and-so for our pastor and etc etc ad nauseum.   First off, I don't want to get hit by a stray bolt of lightning (half kidding).  But mostly, anytime people are put before God, or exalted, trouble can't be too far behind.
Just for the record, I do believe in giving honor where honor is due.  But honor can be contained in a few sentences or a paragraph.  Gushing and a dozen sentences about how wondrous a human being is is more than honor.  It is exaltation.  That is not a good place, in my opinion.

Changing pace a bit, once I heard a rut  defined as a "coffin with the ends broken out".  I gotto tell you I am tired of ruts.  It's time to break out, fill in the ruts and go on with God.  I am believing that it's time to start believing God's word means what it says and watch God move in our communities, churches, states, nations, world and universe.  Guess that is a good place to start eh?
