Flammable

So, I've been really very busy this past week or so; thus I haven't been able to discuss many of my thoughts or upload anything "fun." But that's going to change since the summer is just around the river bend.

I finished my study of 1 & 2 Kings, and now I'm in John (I read John 8-10 today). I'm really interested in the things Jesus did/said and how they apply to me right now. I like this section from Chapter 6 (verses 28-29): "The people asked Jesus, "What are the things God wants us to do?" Jesus answered, "The work God wants you to do is this: Believe in the One He sent." 

I'm trying to figure out how much believing I do in a day. I'm not actually trying to calculate it, but you know what I mean: do I do more believing or more unbelieving? I've been thinking about when Jesus tells us how to pray, He says "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." I really want that to happen around me and in my life. Sometimes I feel like Heaven might be all around me, but I don't recognize it. And I feel that that is a bigger mark than not having Heaven on Earth. So I'm asking God to help me see Heaven when it comes to Earth.

There is a whole lot that goes along with this, which hopefully will be my next post. It concerns a pool of water, some mud, and fireworks. Which reminds me, are you being flammable today? Are God's blessings igniting your soul to rejoice? My wonderful girlfriend reminded me of this verse the other day, Psalm 118:24, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." I can just hear that 90's song playing in the back of my mind now...
