You know, it's funny how at different stages of life, different books of the Bible seem to match where you're at. For better or worse, Ecclesiastes seems to be where I am right now. I guess there are worse books out there to be like. It certainly would suck to be where Job was. I pray that I don't have to go through that.
I want my life to look more like the book of Acts. I want stuff to be happening. I want to see God at work. I want to see lives get changed. But I seem to be in a place in life where what is being asked of me is faithfulness.
I was reading about Noah today and this is how Genesis 6:22 describes him. "Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him."
That's pretty awesome to have the Bible say that about you. I know I can't give God perfection. Simply not possible. But I do want to live in such a way where this could be true about me from moment to moment. And I want to put together as many moments of faithfulness as possible. And I figure, the more of these moments I string together, the more I participate in God's will. So, God, you got me right now. And now. And now.
