Bored at work

Sep 13, 2008 19:44

well its no secret that i don't do anything at work so its about that time of night to do a devotional. I did one last night but i forgot to type stuff so i guess you'll have to ask if you want to know what i read last night. So i realized in one of my other entries that i was really judgmental of David and pretty much cast him aside forgetting one of the most important things of the Christian religion. We are all born to sin and that none of us can stop doing it no matter how hard we try. we are doomed to a life of sin. I forgot that the other Day when i had judge him. I realized this because i had done the same thing today when i read a passage about him. In 2 Samuel 11 it talks about David seeing a beautiful girl, sleeping with her and getting her pregnant. then he finds shes married and sends her husband off to war to fight and be set up to die on the front lines. This women was a really dick move but i forgot one thing. David is human being. He is going to screw up and screw up big time. it makes you realize that even the prophets of the bible were human and made mistakes. the only person that never made one was Jesus. I think that as Christians we often have to make our selves out to be perfect. Yes its true we should try to act like God as much as possible but no one is perfect. Its when you sit there and make the mistakes knowing before hand that its the wrong choice when your faith starts being jeopardized. I know that i make mistakes all the time and i will, but if their is one thing that i can take out of this scripture is that i need to not make the mistakes that i know i can avoid. I think i did this last night and im continuing to do so. I was invited to a party last night and even though im sure i would not have drank i didn't go because Im not going to put myself in that kind of temptation. Why would i want to do that? to prove i have a really strong will against the people around me and that im a super christian? no way. That's the dumbest thing Ive ever thought, and i do mean thought becasue going into college i had the same mentality about going to parties. And guess what? i failed and fell back into terrible old habits. I got into a fight with my friend Lisa over this today. She wants to see me but the only thing she wants to do is hang out at a party. I said do something that isnt a party and she didnt suggerst something else to do, she asked me why i cant go to parties. I hate that people cant understand that i am trying to stay strong in my faith and that their is a life outside of getting drunk on the weekends and doing schoolwork during the week. I wish people would understand that and the fact that I am a Christain and i do stand for certain things. I love Jesus so i behave differently than you, Deal with it.
Plyler out!
