What Was I Thinking!?

Zig Ziglar wrote, "The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now." Powerful statement!

I the imperfect Christian does not want to focus on the want now microwave society things, but the things that are truly going to make a difference in my life, and be worth while! Not just worth while for me, but for others also. The imperfect Christian not only lives for today, but tomorrow, and for eternity, and I want each day to be more blessed than the last! One of my favorite scripture verses is Psalm 37:4 "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (KJV)

The imperfect Christians' perfect desire is to please Him, not just get what I want! It is God that gives me the desire to be a better servant to Him, a better husband to my wife, a better father to my children, a better brother and friend to my biological, and spiritual brothers and sisters.

I have thought about buying a dual sport bike on several occasions, or a used bike, and I know that the R1 is the one that I truly want! I have thought about several business endeavors, and thought about how nice it would be to live in a city that never sleeps again, and then I thought about God telling His imperfect son that He has a desire to see him finish his schooling and earn that degree in the ministry, and continue on as a great minister. A minister that is mighty indeed for the Lord! A minister that allows God to manifest His greatness in him when he is weak, so that God can be proven as Almighty! He also desires that I am the father that would put his own life down for his family. What greater love than this, that a man would lay down His life for you? So what was I thinking when I wanted... because the Lord is my Shepherd, and I shall not want! Jesus I am grateful for Your love, because You loved me before I knew to love myself!
