Hosea 6...

So today i read:

"Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him..." Hosea 6:3.

i like to replace the "acknowledge" with "know"....so then it would be like...

"Let us know the Lord; let us press on to know him..." Hosea 6:3.

When i read this in my quiet time today it was so cool, cuz i was listening to my ipod too..and i was listening to this one phil wickham song called "mystery" and its all about wanting to know God and everything, and thats like what the verse is saying...lets go after Him with everything we are. Just want our heart to beat more and more likes His, wanting whatever it is that breaks Him to break our hearts you know? wanting to be more like Christ...then i skipped a section and in chapter seven started reading this "their hearts are like an oven, their passion goes all night, in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire..." and i was like you know, what if my heart was like that for God? super on fire for Him...ya know?? I want that!!! I want to be so on fire for God!!!

[it wasn't until after i thought that, that i re-read that section and found out that that verse was totally saying somethigng else...kinda bad actually...but its the thought that counts...about using what they were saying as bad, and saying how if we were to have our hearts like that for God...how amazing would that be? Thats what I want!!! To be like that!!!]

So yes...my little verse of the day. haha! :)

would you?

so here i am, laying outside underneath the stars and 1/2 moon after my mile jog in the cool night with my brother...and i was just looking at how beautiful everything is, and this passage in Isaiah that i read this morning came to mind "Holy holy holy is the Lord Almighty. The whole earth is filled with His glory"...

then i got to thinking about the passage and how Isaiah saw the Lord and how God wanted something to be done and Isaiah says "Here am i. send me.." and i was thinking like how cool it would be if God just flat out told me what He wants me to do with my life and right now... but then i was like...hmm....would i REALLY do it? I mean...if God told me to do something i always think "yeah, i'd do it!"..but what if He wanted me to do something totally unthinkable.....what if He wanted you to? would you do it?

"Here am I. Send me."
