Seth’s World View

“Just when I think I’ve got it, it’s gone. When I think I know the answer and I dare to raise my hand it’s wrong.”
–Jennifer Knapp, Romans

It’s hard to say how many times I’ve felt like I had my life together, and lost it. I wonder how much I really want what’s best for me. Discipline isn’t fun, but is so necessary. The reality that I will never be as good as I want to be hits hard. It’s inescapable, and God knows this. The gospel is truly good news to a weary soul.

In 6 weeks I head back to Pennsylvania. Looking at my accomplishments and experiences, I can say I am more mature, more organized, better at managing finances, have a good resume, have seen lots of national parks, and went to a great church for four years. Yet, I still sin, still fear, still fall short. So, this world changer has a hard time coming to grips with the fact that ultimately I can only change myself…and that changing myself is the hardest of all. I fall upon my knees before my King and accept His mercy. He rules, and my duty is to do his bidding, for reasons only He knows.
