4 days...

so last the last couple days i've been focusing entirely on four verses and really trying to "adopt" them i guess you could say. i stink at learning good stuff because my brain tends to forget what it read the next day. thus, i've spent a week now on four verses. i need to let it sit..."marinate" as gabe would say. gabe tends to be right a lot (except about SEC football).
maybe some of you have brains like mine. anywhose, as a kid growing up and even as a kid now i tend to get stuck on the technical aspects of God. i want to understand all the theology and reasoning and i find myself at times getting stuck on all the details of "christianity" when i should have the heart of the guy in the four verses i've been focusing on for the last week. i'm not saying the details are bad. in fact, i believe they can be really good. i just think when all i see is details i miss the big picture. and the big picture is awe-inspiring.

david meets with God in the desert of Judah in Psalm 63 and his heartbeat for God is something i really want to know.

david's in awe. he's not worried about the details at this time. he's seen God work. seen Him move. and he is still. and it's more than enough.

david tells God he's tried everything. everything. and nothing satisfies. nothing. in a dry and weary land, david tells God that only He will satisfy Him. he goes on to tell God that He longs for Him and that after seeing him move and seeing His glory that He is changed and thus david's heart wants God. not details. just the awe-inspiring God He's come to know.

i want that.

all the time.

and i want it for each and every kid in my middle school and each and every kid in belize. i better get to praying more.

i just want to be in awe...all the time.

it's possible.
