"These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."
This verse compelled me today. Not sure why, but it captured my interest. Lately, I have been crying out more and more with a lack of answers, or atleast the answers I want. My soul is not in it's healthiest position. I'm of this world and in this world and I don't really care. I go to church for community, yet I think secretly I just want to find my soulmate, and the decent guys are all in the church pews or on their knees, right? I know I'm not persuing healthy things. I know these "rules taught by men", but I don't really feel the need to follow them. What damage does it do to disconnect, to sleep around, or to drink socially, with a limit of course- as long as there is no attachment or dependency involved. But there is, especially for me. God gave me the strong desire to love people, and this love, well lately, it hasn't been used to glorify Him as it should. The Lord says in this verse that he will "astound" with "wonder upon wonder" and I've been hearing it over and over again, that if I just listen to God and if I meditate on what He wants me to hear I will see wonders outside of this world... but I'm not. Patience, perhaps.
music makes sense... that's about it for now... I'm listening and waiting...
