Looky-Loo!

Why waste time peering into someone else’s life when you can trust God that one day you will look out of your own?  Voyeurism is a waste of time unless you are observing someone headed in the direction that you want to go.   We stare at others living their lives and we dare not dream of being an inspiration to another.  If we are focused on getting after our own promise, we won’t have the time to be a looky-loo into another’s.  Why not dream your own dream and see your own promises come to pass instead of trying to watch what someone else is doing in theirs?  Today I made up in my mind that I would trust God for more – and that was it – no stipulations whatsoever!  My frustration in my life has grown out of desiring that God bring the promise to pass as I had designed in my head.  My job as a believer is to believe that God will keep his promise to me – not do whatever I say or think.  If we could know the mind of God – then what would be the purpose to us serving and worshiping him as God, if we controlled him?  I am starting to see my faith walk a whole lot clearer.  If you desire to correct your vision for your future – first thing first – start looking to God to be God.  Next start wanting to enjoy your own life instead of gazing at someone else’s thinking that their life is better than yours.  We serve the God who has more than enough to go around.  Do you always want to be the one looking in or do you finally want to get to that place where you are the one looking out?
