Eph 4:29
Day 2. Not.
I didn't get to spend as much time on this one as I did the other.. simply because I woke up really late in the day. Either way, I still got to look at the Word, and determine exactly what I thought it meant.
A lot of people hear the word not and think that it is a negative word, one that shows a stopping of something, or an untrue value, but after reading Loui Giglio's newest book I have come to know the word not as a different word all-together. The word not is not a word at all, but a name. It is my last name, actually.
When Moses asked God what His Name was, which in itself had never ben done till that point.. pretty cool, God replied, "Tell them that I AM sent you." God is I AM. He will always be I AM. Realizing this, I, and everyone else, need to realize that if God is I AM, then i am not. I am "i am not." Therefore, my last name is actually not Anderson, but not. I thought about this for a while, and decided it sounded like a pretty good representation of what not really means.
Not is us. All of God's people, simply because we matter not. In the grand scheme of things, God could use us to help Him in His Story, or He could "not." That said, i am not. Not is my last name. Not is the identification of family.. not Anderson, just.. not.
