CONFUSION...no, no, no, no... (Public Enemy, if you didn't recognize.)
You ever see things go so wrong, that it points you in the right direction? Ever been somewhere where NOTHING makes sense... I mean nothing... constantly... You begin to get used to the nonsense. If someone does something that does make sense, it hits you by surprise.
I'm glad that I know Jesus. If I didn't know him, I don't know where I would be. He convicts me when I need convicting, He consoles me when I need consoling, and he loves me when I need love... Even when I don't realize that I need it. I have a goal in sight. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:14)
I have to keep him in focus. I have to look at all the good things in my life. There are lots of good things. Sometimes the distractions keep you looking at God and all the good and great things he has done.
I heard a preacher say recently that sometimes we are chasing after things that God is trying to take out of our lives. We have some junk that we need to get rid of. We've been holding on to it too long. I am determined to get rid of that stuff and focus on furthering God's Kingdom. That is my purpose here on Earth. That is my destiny...I know what I'm here for...

Good Post...
what you are expressing is one of the reasons I love and appreciate the "Old Testament...I love reading about the people who were like us in that sense...chasing after the very things that God is trying to remove from our lives...it's one of the areas I find that I must constantly learn to allow God to direct me and protect me from myself =)
thanks for commenting... I love the OT... you look at the Isrealites and think that they are so messed up...then you realize that...hey, they are talking about me...
God is so amazing, isn't He?
