A Whole Life…

By Morgan Butcher in Deep Thoughts in Prayer on 9/2/10

Hey there!  Just was reading through my Bible this morning and had this interesting thought.  Nothing revoIutionary… but none the less gave me a glimpse of the bigger picture. I am pretty positive there is a thinking flaw in American culture, that if we pull pieces of our lives from many sources we will have a whole life. So we put together our careers, then our living neighborhoods, then our friends, then our hobbies, then our church, then our favorite restaurants, then our doctors and dentists, then our vacation spots, then our favorite sports teams, all with the idea that when we get everything ‘pulled together’ we will have a full life. I am afraid that what we end up with is instead an incredibly tired life. But what’s the better approach?
“The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together.” ~Psalms 19:7
Is it really possible for us to let God to pull our lives together? According to this verse and many verses similar, God is funneling enough information toward us to build our lives by His plans and His time-tables. It’s interesting to me that the real path to wholeness isn’t exactly the American way. Believe it or not, but it’s not within our skill-set to build a whole life!  We just can’t see the whole picture and the cause and effects of eternal issues. Wholeness is a gift from God!  He is trying SO HARD to breathe it into our lives every day. One of the great side-effects of walking side-by-side with Christ is that we end up with A WHOLE LIFE!
Thanks for reading, hope your enjoying the last few glimpses of summer! 
I know I am!
