The Awakening.

Watched this at Bible Study tonight (I know it's long, but watch it if you got time; it's super convicting).

"No man is greater than his prayer life."

"The devil's substitute for joy is entertainment."
"When there is no joy, you have to fill it up with entertainment. The more joy you have in God, the less entertainment you need outside of yourself."
Leonard Ravenhill

I've gotten very dry & blaise about the whole personal walk thing. School is busy and you "learn" about God in school, then you "learn" about God when you study. I've pushed God to the side so much. Breezing through the Bible just because I'm on a 1-year plan and I don't wanna get behind. "Praying" while I brush my teeth or shower, but in reality mind-drifting after like a minute of "oh hey God, sorry I haven't really talked to you in a while..."
So if no man is grater than his prayer life, I'm a nobody. How can I say I wanna shake the world for God when I barely spend time with Him?
So if I'm spending my leisure time in cheap, joyless entertainment on facebook, gchat, tv shows, this blog ... it brings up those images of  the skits/presentations people do at church when the devil tempts the main character away from God with the silliest of things.

SO owned by Bible Study tonight.
This whole week has been God smacking me in the face to shape up.
It was first a small voice inside me telling me I need to return home. Then the message at Convo. Then Bible Study.

We don't just idly wait for God to bring the rain. We dig ditches, many ditches, for Him to fill up when the rain comes (2 Kings 3).

Ain't it awesome we serve a God that brings us back to Him? He is always calling us back.

One more quote from good, ol' Lenny
"I'm determined this year more than ever to know Jesus Christ in a new way that I have not known Him before. I want to discover His majesty, I want to discover the glory He has with the Father."

Aight, PEACE YALL.
I gotta go pray.
