The Search

Why is it that we search around looking for answers to life's question on television, school, books, and friends? When everything we are looking for is found in the bible. Really, how is that we can sit and watch two hours of American Idol or two hours of fat people trying to lose weight, but we are unwilling to get off the couch and exercise our spiritual bodies? Was it not Jesus who said in Matthew 26:41 that we are to watch and pray? I am just as guilty as anyone at this, but I'm going to change. I'm ready to watch what God's about to do in this country, and I'm going to take the action to pray now, and as it happens. Praying is our involvement in what God is doing, that's the only action we can take. We can't do anything but pray for His will to happen. I believe God is saying "Pray, get out of my way, and watch what I can do." I'm getting out of the way, I give up my agenda, and I'm letting God take over. I want to watch what he can do.
