Where's Wally?

Remember the book 'Where's Wally?' where you search for Wally amidst a barage of details on two full colour pages? I could say the same for God in life.

Is it enough just to pass life each day? Is it enough just to do QT, and fulfill speaking to God daily and then move on?

It seems that for most of us God is just confined to the time frame of our QT.

He isn't in our thoughts.

Whatever happened to that lingering sense of His presence? Don't you feel like just so happy and awed when you wonder what God's done?

He isn't in our speech.

Is He that boring? Is GE, Maple and other games worth discussing over? Who's gonna level up? Which item did you get... Is homework really worth griping about?

He isn't in what we do.
The mouse clicks, the keyboard rumbles. The pen rolls on and on... Our eyes are glued to the screen. Our tables are filled with work. Games are more exciting. Homework is more pressing.


Ah, I know where God is. He's given that tiny little corner in our heart...

There.

Can you see it?

He's just like Wally. Easily unnoticed.

BOMG

I think it's true. We're not desperate enough. I feel not desperate enough.

It is as if the moment Monday came, I warped myself into another zone. The comfort zone. Looking back this week, I think I could have been more desperate for the things of God and for the burdens of His heart.

Must keep fanning the flame.

Remembered what was said regarding JoinT '06. That revival was like starting a BBQ fire. The point we're at right now is somewhat when you put the firestarters in and you don't actually see the flames or the amber charcoals.

You wait, and you fan. Then you just keep fanning and fanning till you see the fire come up.

I guess I'll start with a daily committment to pray. =)

GOd, please keep my eyes open to the pain of this generation, and more importantly, to see that which is in Your heart.
