Day 3 - Loneliness

i did my devotion in the morning of day 3 and read thru the first 2 chapters of acts, (though i just fell asleep and woke in time to drive to uni) and its mentioned that the disciples had tongues of fire and spoke in languages unknown to them, but understood by natives of the language- how cool was that?! if you were the new guy there you'd be like, hey, i'm in the game for good! or not? (o' you of little faith needing miracles :P )

it got my attention that
1.tongues cannot just be gibberish
2.i'm still seeking to be like, 'lightning bolted' by God's presence.





the word 'King' brought up a line i once saw that i found very interesting, and appealed to that little elitist gene present in everyone:

There is a King on the mountain,
and I am he.

but when i think of my own life, which, comparatively, has nothing super-blasting-life-changing-overwhelming-tongue-tying-impact-detonating (comparatively), i thought of adding another line to 'complete' it, the plagiarizer i am (so called by Jon Gan). and it stuck in my mind ever since i thought of it.

There is a King on the mountain,
and I am he,
But there is the King above the mountain
and that is He.

am i 100%, 81% or even 70% secure in Jesus? not necessarily. i fail in keeping a discipline which i know i should. if i was to fight a spiritual war i know i'd be the private floor mopper instead of the champion i hope to be. i'm critical of my brothers though by grace, supression and control are gifts cultivated.

but.. the Lord of second, third, x chances.. just means you keep on trying because He's worthy of praise and worthy of devotion. a commander to lead us to certain victory. what other reason do you need, soldier?

that's the discipline part of the march of the cross ;)

there is of course, love.
and love is a whole book by itself!
dun worry friend... its coming your way.
