S-4:13-17 Not going write all of it,but verse 17 stood out most.
"Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it."
0- Wow- That was like a slap in my face. There are many times during the week where I know I shouldn't be doing something and still do it. Especially when it comes to the entertainment world. There are many shows that I know I shouldn't be watching, I even call it my guilty pleasure. It also made think about how I easily compare and point out other peoples sins and even advise people not take part in certain things, but I don't follow my own advise!I also like to do plan my life and have order, the total opposite of what God wants. He wants to be the driver not me.
A- I've been struggling with total obedience and giving up control. I like my life a certain way and I usually want to do life my way. I really need to relinquish control. I also need to be obedient in the hard areas, not just the easy ones. I've been feeling very
convicted of what I read and watch. I recently stopped my People subscription (go ahead and laugh!). For years I enjoyed reading it, but lately it has made feel very sad for the people mentioned and I disagree with a lot of the articles. These verse are so clear that God has a plan and no matter how we try to control it or plan it, the plan will ultimately be HIS. Life would be so much easier if we didn't fight Him and think I know better.
P- That I would be aware of HIS plans for me, not Jenifer's. That the things I read and watch will be pleasing to Him. I'm trying to find balance. I don't want to be one of those moms who is completely clueless to trends and media that kids are into. I want to know what's out there so I will know what my boys are facing. I don't want to be so hard and blind that my kids will rebel or go behind my back. I guess wisdom on how to put this in action.
Believe me I'm not lauging I'm right there wtih ya. I've had had to weed out several entertainment choices lately. Especially because I realized if I can't watch it because of language or content when Sawyer and Knox are in the room I don't need to watch it at all. That was a sad realization for me to know that I had let me heart become so accepting of what God hates!
