listening

i'm listening to a sermon called "SKG: Guard Your Heart," and it's SO GOOD. you've got to listen to it. it's helping me so much.

www.grace-bible.org/sermons

every single day i have something i can give thanks for.

why does God bring us out into the wilderness? to see us suffer and die of want? why become suspicious of God's goodness? the root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good. think of adam and eve: God's withholding something from us!

when our heart becomes hard, we are tempted to question God's motivation.

a hard heart looks at other people's circumstances and says, "man, i wish i had that life..." but everyone has trials! we think we want to exchange, but we don't really know all the details in the background of everyone's trials.

those are some highlights.

i just want to worship.

bring me to that place.

i think we might want other people's lives when we don't know their situation well enough. 'cause i think if we knew the struggles they went through it wouldn't be advantageous to "switch lives" 'cause, like you said, everyone has trials.

this kinda goes along with the bumper sticker I saw once: normal people are those you just don't know well enough yet. :)
