I realize that God wants to shape and form my life according to him. I also know that God has given me a purpose, but sometimes, I try and make ends meet all by myself. Do you ever do that?
I'm often overwhelmed by what I have to do to make my life actually mean something. Tim Keller would probably note that, in all of my searching, what's really going on is that I'm desperately and superficially searching for something that only Christ can satisfy. Or in other words, I'm making idols that replace Jesus' work on the cross. So, there I am, I'm at the bottom of Mt. Sinai waiting for Moses to come down with the law and I'm molding an idol to worship and obey rather than waiting on God.
But, this is learning process and what I constantly must remind myself of is that, that only Christ can satisfy.
We sang this song in church and I really liked it. it's chorus was just a proclamation that Only Jesus can satisfy. How true is that? Only Jesus can curb my anxiety about the future. Only Jesus can give me the power to grow. Only Jesus can push me into a life worthy of the gospel.
I pray that I can remember this week,at least, to put God first, and trust Him.
