Working out Gods Will

So often i look back at the Old Testament and see gods will written in bright shining lights but yet the people he is trying to tell are looking the other way. Now im not saying that they are trying to look the other way, it's just that they find themselves so involved in the situation that as much as they try, they find it really hard to see what god is trying to tell them.

I'm in that situation now, I'm looking at my life now and a few things imparticular and i really think that God has shown me as clear as day what his will is yet my "humaness" wants to keep analysing and telling myself that the urges i feel are a result of what i want and not what god wants.

So thats me at the moment, trying to discern the will of god.

My Pledge - The Power of Words

In Australia it is part of our culture to jokingly make fun of your friends, it is a huge sign of affection to pick on your mates, i used to believe that it was fine as a chrisitan to do that because i didn't mean any of the things i said.

However over the last month or two i've been challenged to cut down on the filth that escapes from my mouth, the things that have inspired me to do this is

1. Seeing the pain it causes some people (I sincerely apologise to anyone i have offended in doing this, i didn't mean anything by it)
2. Number 1 was really enough for me to stop but here are some others. God spoke and the world came into being, showing me that words are extremely powerful and should not be taken lightly
3. Colossians 3:8 "But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips." I had a couple of arguments about whether what we were doing was slander or not, ultimately not an issue cause if it isn't slander, it's lying.
4. There were more things but thats enough for now

So yeah i pledge to make my words full of love and truth, it wont be easy but with god on my side...

godspeed
