Finding Motivation

One of the most difficult things in life is finding motivation. We usually have it for a short time then lose it again. As I look throughout Scripture I find over and over only 1 source that keeps being brought to reminder as motivation and that is the Cross. Over and over in Paul's Epistles he points back to the cross as a memory point. If we can focus on the sacrifice of Jesus- what He endured, how He endured it and why He endured it we can find confidence and reason to have obedient faith. Paul doesn't appeal to Bible authority- he rather appeals to the cross as a reason for Bible authority. He appeals to the sacrifice of our Lord and Saviour for us to find focus and do what is right-not just b/c it's right but in order to do what is pleasing for one who was willing to do so much for us. When we consciously understand that from the beginning God has always loved man and desired a relationship with him providing at every turn a way for man to come back. When we can see that we will no longer ask questions such as what do I have to do but will begin asking what can I do.

Title of the Blog

OK so I have to first admit that I never thought I would get into blogging. Then my brother in law talked me into it. After that he gave me an idea for what I wanted to do. I owe a lot of this to him- so thank you Jimmy.

The title of the Blog comes from Acts 17:27. The wonders of the world around us continue daily to amaze me. God put all of this in motion "so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us..." In every aspect of life I hope and pray that we continue groping for God knowing that we can find Him and knowing that He is not far from any of us.
