I got blasted today by God. I just finished reading Forgotten God by Francis Chan and here is a quote that has been on my mind all day.
"...ask yourself if you possess each (trait of the Holy Spirit) to a supernatural degree...that's when the world notices. That's when people say, 'Your Lord-He is God'"
This whole book has been challenging me to not only live more in the Spirit, but also to exhibit His traits, as Chan describes it, supernaturally. It's easy to have a little joy, heck anyone can express a joyful attitude, but to express it in such a way that everyone around you praises God? That seems pretty impossible. Its a good thing that I have the Almighty God, who Can do the impossible, help me make this possible. Of course, if I just sit on my butt everyday with my eyes glued to the computer screen, then I'm just not going to be able to live life with the Holy Spirit. I need to be active and not passive. That is why I'm so thankful that not only did I get my old job back, but I'm occupying my self with practicing my trumpet and the piano during my extra time. Hopefully I'll be good enough to lead worship one day!
