A blog? Seriously, God?

A blog. I mean, seriously, blogs are for the young, hip generation. I enjoy reading them, but writing them? I’ve been arguing with God about this one for quite awhile now. But the other day God told me to quit being such a Moses (in so many words), and, well, here I am.

God’s been speaking to me a lot lately about meditation. I’ve been going through a study by Jennifer Rothschild called Me, Myself, and Lies, and I’ve come to truly appreciate its value on a new level. We all meditate every day so it’s not like I just started or anything. It’s not a question of IF we do but WHAT we do if you get my drift. Meditating is, in a way, focusing. He’s really been challenging me this week. Where is my focus? Do I focus on truths or lies? Do I focus on God or the world? Do I focus on what is pure and honorable and worthy of praise or on worries and lies and fears? Turns out my focus – my minute by minute meditations – are the foundation of this blog. Now, I still don’t understand why it isn’t enough to just write them in my journal, but that isn’t so important to me anymore. I’ve come to the realization this blog isn’t about ME – because it is true that there isn’t really anything about me that is truly interesting enough or worthy enough to warrant being posted on a blog. I’ve come to realize this blog isn’t even really about YOU – because it actually doesn’t matter if anybody ever reads a word I post. This blog is about God. It is about meditating – focusing – on Him and all the amazing things He has done in the past and is doing every day. It is about thinking on His word and listening to the truths He has to tell me for that moment in time. It is about bringing glory and honor to His name and forgetting about me and you or anything else. So if you are here reading this, it is because God has invited you, and I would tell you that I certainly don’t understand why except that His ways are above my ways and His thoughts are above my thoughts – so welcome! Come on in! Pull up a chair and let’s meditate together, and “may the words of our mouth(s) and the meditations of our heart(s) be pleasing” to Him! Amen! and Amen!

“Lord, I give this blog to you. Guide my meditations day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, thought my thought. May they be truly pleasing to you and bring glory and honor to your wonderful, magnificent, holy name! You are great and greatly to be praised!!!
