Making the most of Him 8-5
John Piper says, "God's will in this age is that his people be scattered like salt and light in all legitimate vocations. His aim is to be known, because knowing him is life and joy."
I have my fears in entering into the "secular" work force very soon here. I fear that I will get caught up in the rat race of this world, I will sacrifice the truth I believe for the acceptance I recieve, that I will lose sight of the things I truly love. Why am I so prone to wander from God? He says that if we love Him we will obey Him. If I am so prone to wander, does that mean each time I stray away, my heart is falling a little bit out of love with Him? My hope is that I would be so in love with Him that there is no need for other things in this life. That my heart could come to a place of finding all satisfaction and joy in Him. Those are the moments in my life when I'm able to truly LOVE people, and I don't mean loving people in a way of "doing it" as Christian duty, but in a way that is just a natural outpouring of the satifaction of the Love that God is filling my heart with. It is something supernatural, that is beyond my strength. I don't know what I'm getting at, but I guess just hoping that as I enter into the working world, that my heart will cling to God as my first love and savior. I'm just not sure what that looks like yet.
