Do you ever think about all the different stories form the Bible? Noah and the Ark? Jonah and the Whale? Moses and the parting of the Red Sea? ... I've been reading through the Old Testament lately and trying to see it as it really is... REAL stories! ...Do you think about the life of Christ all the miracles He preformed? Do you think about all the trials His apostles faced and there lives that were full of faith?.....
We see so much in film today about; Vampires, Inception, Dawf's, Action Hero's, Lord of the Rings, StarWars, ect. but all of those stories/movies are all Fake.
I've just been thinking a lot lately about how the life of Christ and all the stories in the Bible were REAL. Jonah was really in a whales belly! Have you ever though of how scary that really would be? Or thought about how crazy it would be to be a part of Noah's family and be the only ones left on earth and see the storm that caused the flooding of the whole earth? Think of how it would look to see a Sea part and walk in the Middle of it!..... And Christ HE IS REAL. His stories of all of His miracles and Him really taking on the pain of the cross it all really happened! .... I feel like a lot of movies have made myself personally numb to the stories of the 'real' life happenings in the Bible and also when things really do happen in this world now. I mean everything with Japan REALLY did just happen there REALLY are people over there lost and dying and these people went through something horrific and are still going through it. I feel like I see so many things as just "stories" sometimes.
But they're not.
Great things did happen in the Bible! They REALLY happened and horrible things are happening to people now all across the world. These people are our brothers and sisters in Christ and people who are lost and need Christ. I just feel so motivated to get out and 'do'! I may not have the opportunity to go overseas, but I can help right in my own KY region. Did you know that right around here there are tons of homeless teens and tons of children living in ophanages. There are tons of people who need help! I've been interviewing for practicums lately and just in talking with the people I interviewed with it's sad to think of how many people really need someone to help them. Think if we did a little something for someone else in need everyday how much we could impact this world. Let's let our lights SHINE! Let's stop thinking of these horrible things as just 'stories' and 'news' and see them as missions! Let's donate our time, money, and prayers to others!
I hope this encourages you all:)... I have just been realizing lately how lazy I am and how much time I've been wasting not doing Christ's work.
