World Star!?

World Cup 2006 is here and I got the fever, I love football and it rekindled the dream I had in high school that I was one of the top players for some international team. I often wonder how it will be in heaven, I use to dream about how it would be there too when I was in high school. I wonder if they will have football? SMILE! I know however, that it will be perfect and much more better than here, better than my wildest dream. I can't even fully fathom living for ever and ever and never die. I use to look up to the sky and watch the stars alot, but I realize since of late I can't even tell when last I saw the moon. I started to look up every now and then when I remember - I think, just the thought of looking up to the sky brings back some deep feeling of God and Heaven. I use to lie on my back for minutes on end just looking at the stars, I could tell you where certain formations are, although I didn't know the exact names of them - I gave them my names. It reminded me of the awesomeness of God's creative power and it made me feel like He was looking down at me at that very moment. Back to World Cup 2006 and how it fits in, well it actually doesn't I guess, World Cup reminded me of my youth in high school and playing football and wanting to be a star and at that time in my life I use to stare up at the stars and think of God. I will try to establish that hobbie or whatever it is called in my life again, I will take the time out to look at the stars and the sky. I will look up and know that He sees me, in among all the people, trees, buildings, and clouds.

God Answers!

The position taken by most is that God doesn't answer prayers or we don't really think about it so when we pray our faith is non-existent so we sometimes forget or doubt that it will be answered and when it is it wasn't grand and full of magic for us to attribute it to God. But I believe without a shadow of doubt that God answers prayers and He answers them in different ways that we don't understand until we are past the situation or see the fulfillment of it. If we pray are we not expected to live a life where God is praised and we follow Him and His commandments? We expect to get without giving but Jesus will give us knowing that we will not believe it's from Him and we wont thank Him or follow Him. The selfless love He shows us is beyond compare and I sometimes try to put myself in His shoes, in the sense that if I answer someone prayers and then I ask them to follow me and love me and then they don't but do the complete opposite how would I feel? What if we walked by faith like prophets of old and depend solely on God? The popular notion is that - I am in control of my own destiny! - that's true but the Bible says that a man who follows his own wisdom will end up in destruction. The carnal man's natural path will lead him to sin and destruction that's why God implores us to follow His way because He knows the true path and only through Jesus we will find it. I will continue to pray for my family and friends, and those in positions less fortunate than I, and those suffering because of disasters and disease. Do we remember that we are better off than most? We forget because we are occupied with self and the thought of those suffering seems far and remote. We seek worldly pleasures and forget about our spirituality which is the only thing we will be bringing to the grave and it will then be used to judge us whether we go to Heaven or hell. I will pray for you all and I hope that you will pray for me and all others who are struggling on lifes journey. I will pray that God's truth and message will shine through the world and especially for those who are proclaiming it without fear and doubt. I will continue to pray because God still answers prayers.
