Lost in Translation.

There are many things that I tend to take for granted. There are many things that I often think that once the experience has happened, we are all "in the clear" or "on the downhill" of the climb. But the truth is that some experiences open doors to taller mountains and steep walls that God calls us to climb out of. At times perhaps these walls seem so tall that it is easier to stay with in the dark depths. At times we push forward and upward but sometimes it feels easier to settle into darkness and let it override the truths that have been shown and planted. it is at these points when the thing that God created begins to manifest and brings opportunity for His hands to become physical through others in what we call the body of Christ... Community.

It is something we should not fight even for a moment. we are not called to believe a lie that is placed with in us that we can't do anything to help. If this was the case, why would we feel the initial calling to action in the first place? We must allow God to work through us... I am human and I can't change anything or anyone but God can work through me and change the hearts of Kings. To him be the glory, forever and ever.

When I was little I went through the stage in my life where I asked the question "why?" all the time. I'm sure some of you are currently going through this phase with either your own little ones or little ones that are near and dear to you. Curiosity is planted deep within us from the very beginning. We seek answers from the very moment we breathe in the air of this world. Sometimes it is the sweet smell of childhood or the refreshment of forest or mountain air. Sometimes it is stale air that we feel stuck and stuffed into while we continue to seek answers to our "whys".

There is somewhere between childhood and where you now might stand that the "why" has become distorted or lost in translation. Don't stop asking why. But be reminded that that specific question is for Gods answer alone at times. We seek to learn as much as we can. Fast internet connections and Google searches can easily lower our patience in gaining answers for why life is the way that it is. I know many times I have seeked with questions to the wrong sources or  view points only to gain another step into darkness or a torn expectation of what I didn't want to hear.

"In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God."

- Psalm 10:4

"5They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. 6Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob. 7Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in." 

-Psalm 24:5-7

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." 

-Hebrews 11:6

There are so many questions that we do not have answers to but this doesn't mean we should stop seeking. To just accept what we believe might be false but instead seek God to show us answers with in ourselves, our lives and the lives of others.

"No temptations has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."

-1 Corinthians 10:13

-Keep Seeking.

-Keep Adventuring.
