At Spring Harvest I bought a new Bible in a year book to refresh my reading of the scriptures. As a result I am currently reading Genesis and last night I was so inspired reading about Abraham.
When God asked Abraham to do something, even when it meant leaving family & friends and going to a unknown destination. Abraham didn't question God, He upped and leaved. His heart was fully given to God and He achieved the great things God had planned for him and was blessed as a result.
Too often in my life I stop letting God build the blocks of my life and start building myself, taking it in the creative direction I think is best. Whilst I am quite a creative person, I rarely get everything right and often this leaves aspects of my life in a messy place. This is when God has to knock the blocks down and start again, which is a very hard thing to go through. It is so easy to begin creating ourselves, it happens through small compromises.
We start following the world and our own desires on small things or one off occasions and then it grows.
One of the verses read at the Royal Wedding yesterday was Romans 12:1-2
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
If we be who God made us to be, we will set the world on fire!

Let's all put our eternal goggles on, fix our eyes on Jesus and set this world on fire!
