What are we living for?
The other day I was driving down the street and I passed this really cute little house that was for sale and I thought to myself, "If I were young and newly married that would be the perfect house for me". Now maybe you think that's a weird thing to think but, I think those sorts of thoughts all the time about what my life could one day consist of but, after thinking this I asked myself, "What would you be living for if you had that life?". Maybe another weird question but, as I drove down the road I pictured my life in that house, I would be married and teaching pre-school with the hopes of one day growing my family. Now maybe this sounds dumb to you but, that was my plan before God got a hold of me. I had it figured out and planned but, God didn't agree and I'm so thankful he didn't because if that was my life what would I be living for? Would I be living to make my husband happy, to make a buck, to have a whole clan of little ones? Probably all of the above. Well today I was reading in Psalms 92 and came across this "What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks, to sing an anthem to you, the High God! To announce your love each day break, to sing your faithful presence all through the night" Now that's what I call living! I'm not saying you can't do that being a teacher or coach or police man or business man, I know personally how I'm called to do it but, what I'm getting at is that whatever we do we need to be doing it for the glory of God and to better His kingdom.We need to announce His love everyday and sing his faithful presence.
