Just cause it's thursday. Errythang GOLD
So, this semester has had a lot to do with idols for some reason. I have been seeing how much of a problem it is. Tonight in my epistle of John class my teacher was talking about relationships, and he asked, Is your longing for Jesus' return greater than that of a longing for a husband/wife/children? A question basically along those lines. I was thinking about this, and I was like no. My answer would be no. As he was talking about this, I realized how badly I want Jesus to return.
Now, wanting a husband/wife isn't a bad thing. In Proverbs 5:18-19 it says "Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth. As a loving hind and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times; be exhilarated always with her love." In Song of Solomon 2:6, "Let his left hand be under my head and his right hand embrace me." These things are things we long for and its okay that we long for them, but are they things that we long for more than Jesus? Do these longings take up more thoughts than thoughts on our Lord? That's when they become idols, and when these longings turn to sin.
It's something that I have come to realize in the past couple weeks. I find myself daydreaming of a guy, and wanting to find love in that. In reality it has become a idolatry because its like Jesus isn't good enough for me or something. It's me trying to find love, if I had that person then everything would be complete and whole, when it already is in Jesus.
Two things from my teachers notes that stand out to me
1. If you're not excited about Christ's Coming, repent of your idols and get excited. (idol's: sex, husband, wife, kids, toys, bible knowledge.)
2. The man who lives with a constant focus on Christ's return is going to have the most fruit personally, spiritually and ministerially.
That's my prayer, that I am focused and excited and longing for Christ's coming over everything else. Marriage and finding a husband isn't something that will fulfill me or complete me, it is for glorifying God and not myself. Yes, I do get lonely. Yes, I wish I could cuddle with someone from time to time. I just don't want that to consume my mind, because I know that it shouldn't.
