Reassessment In Progress

Today's message came out of Numbers 11.  In that passage, Israel is complaining about the lack of fresh food even though God gives them fresh manna every day.  They crave meat and Egypt despite all God has brought them through.  Moses has had enough.  God is full out irritated with his chosen people. Not because they want some meat, but because they're rejecting their savior.  As always happens, God has to teach them a lesson.  The saddest part is that the same situation happens again in John 6, except this time they reject Christ himself, not just a picture foretelling Christ.

All this past week I've been craving spinach. It sounds so trite, but the craving has turned me into an absolute bear. God is filling my belly with perfectly decent food and I'm sitting here whining about my greens. Talk about a slap in the face.

Naturally, this conviction and the ensuing conversations/observations turned slightly introspective.  A close look at my social media showed me a girl, not so much focused on Christ, but on societal opinions.  At least, that's what my shy, self-consciousness is allowing me to share.  The reality is, if I want this insane love for my savior to shine through, it can't just be in my heart or my daily life. This love needs to bleed over into Instagram, blogs, journals, and prayers.  I can't afford to be self-conscious at this stage in the game.  God-consciousness, not Vivian-consciousness, is necessary at all times on every platform. 

It's all or nothing now.

Ready.

Set.

Go!
