Topics of choice, or is it?
I was thinking about what I want 2 be when I grow up, leave school, get a job, go to university etc. And I was thinking the question why?
Why do we think about this and think about it and think about it over and over again? When these thoughts were running through my mind which happens too often, I realised what’s the fuss? Why do people constantly worry about the future, of what it would have in store for us and what we will be doing, where we will be doing it and with whom?
Too many Qs but no As. Why that is the main topic today class. why?
The first excuse or answer if u could call it that: was that we are insecure. Some people are some people aren’t. But I believe that we all are to a certain degree. We have our not-so-secure families or so we think we have, and we have our not-so-secure lives, which we still think we have, but what will we do when push comes to shove and shove comes to throwing someone out a bus or something like it.
We think we are so secure but has something really big happened in your live? Moving towns, schools, countries, someone dying? Suicide in your family?
How about a guy who woke up one night and went into his bathroom only to find his 19yr old sister with cut wrists bleeding to death on the floor, that happened to you? Oh did I mention he doesn’t have a mom or dad?
Yeah can you imagine living like that guy? I definitely cannot. I don’t know how I could live without my family. I’m sure you feel the same way. Just imagine.
We just don’t understand and cannot comprehend how blessed we are. In soooo many ways, family Christian friends, a church to go to! Yes alot of people can’t even do that! Life for one thing is a blessing for me.
We say we are thankful to God, but are we really do we thank him enough for what he has done for us? Us minuscule beings? I definitely don’t but I try to.
He does look at our heart that we try our best. Then getting back to how much we worry and fret about normal bygone things, its just that some people not all don’t seem to realise that its God’s will for us to do some things and us not to do something’s, which we do anyways despite that.
We spend our time involved in activities which some frown upon and which we do no-matter what people think, but when we keep on thinking about the future we are actually lusting about what we could do, are going to do, or want to do. Lusting may be quite a harsh term, but it’s the truth.
The conception that us Christians don’t seem to understand is that, GOD IS ON CONTROL. Yes he is which actually means he is in control and we have A) nothing to fear B) we don’t have to worry about the future C) He will sort things out, providing there is prayer.
So it all comes down to the question why?
We are insecure to a degree and aren’t sure about the routes we want to take or the routes that we aren’t sure we should take or the routes which we aren’t sure that we should be taking, or something like that.
The bottom line is, if you aren’t sure or are confused about an issue or problem, its called a burden we have to overcome right? The only way to overcome such burdens is to give them over to our Lord and redeemer, Jesus Christ. He will sort it out and is faithful and just to do it.
We gotta prayer about it whatever the issue, time management and getting the essentials in our day, exams, schools, relationships everything!
Sometimes we back ourselves into a corner by doing something little or saying something small and there’s no turning back from it. We can either submit straight away and let your opposition win, and claim that glory our flesh so yearningly wants. Or we can hand it over to God and see what he has to say or do. it all depends on the situation of course just use your discernment, which we all have to an extent and see how it goes.
