I Thessalonians 1:6 "You became imitators of us and of the Lord"
We need someone to pattern our lives after. I think the reason I often feel so lost, is that I don't feel I have anyone to imitate. Growing up I had several men who poured their lives into me. They showed me the daily routines that allowed me to continue to grow.
I of course went through a rebellious period, and thought of all that was legalism, but i was wrong. I still need the daily disciplines. Maybe more than ever. What I watch, read, listen to: all of it truly affects me. I need to evaluate all of the media I consume. It makes me want things that are harmful.
So often I feel as if I'm some sort of feather swept along on the cosmic currents of time. But my decisions matter. If I want a better life, I have to make better decisions.
Today, I'm turning off my computer. Turning off the noise. I'm going to quietly listen for God's voice in the silence.
Lord, speak for your servant is listening!
