A biblical toy

A biblical toy
OK so it has been a while since my last post. School is proving to be very informative, go figure, and very time consuming. Ha Ha I had to go to school to figure that one out. :-) I am loving my time of school and diving into the bible and and all it's rabbit trails. God is blessing me and I thank Him for it.

Fathers day was a week or so ago, and I was given a Wii as a Fathers day/birthday/Christmas/any other celebration excuse we could think of, as a gift. It has been a blast playing with Lisa and the kids when I get the chance to. I never really wanted to get a gaming console due to the fact that I can become a avid gamer.

I didn't like the idea of becoming a couch potato as a result, but the Wii has 2 great features.

#1 it is very active. We were at our friends house a few weeks ago, and I decided to take the challenge of their seven year old and play boxing. Needless to say, after 5 minutes, which included 3 rounds, I had been KO'd three times in a row by a 7 year old and I had rivers of sweat poring off my head, and my pulse was racing, far from the thumb callousing days of Donkey Kong.

#2 It is a biblical gaming system. I didn't realize this at first until I remembered the song I learned as a kid. It goes like this.
Zacchaeus was a Wii little man and a Wii little man was he.......

I couldn't resist!!

A Different View

I wanted to share something with all of you. Tonight as I sat looking over my classmates assignment submissions, I ran across a conversation between my prof and another student. They were talking about God's sovereignty and how when Sarah and Abraham were told they would have a child, Sarah laughed. My classmate said the following,

"Sarah's reaction to God's promise is a wonderful example of humans looking at their inability instead of God's abilities."

I really like how this was worded. How many times have you been challenged with something, a problem, a hard question, a situation you just would rather not go through, and laughed or veered away from it because you looked at your inabilities instead of looking at God's abilities?

The next time you are presented with something that is beyond you and you know it. Stop, and redirect your eyes and your heart to the one who can provide, strengthen, comfort, and direct. God can provide all you need and more. Let Him be your everything.
