So, I thought I wanted to be well read. I was at the library a couple of weeks ago. I was just scanning their "new books". A couple of them caught my eye. I don't know if it was the cover, the title, or just the time era (World War 2).
I started reading one and realized quickly that it had no "christian content". The story was interesting but it seemed lifeless. The author's choice of words and the character's lack of morals really got to me. It became very apparent to me that life without God is nothing.
So now I'm working on the second book. Same scenario.
I guess I am realizing again how much my "christian worldview" really colors my life. The decisions I make, what I do, what I don't do, etc. are all ran through this filter that I have in my mind.
So is this the Holy Spirit guiding me, or am I just floating through life resting on what others say is the correct "christian worldview"?
Do I ask daily for direction in my life, or just rely on my conscience to prick me if I choose something not so great for me?
It's really hard to wrap my mind around these thoughts....even harder to write about them!
I guess I need to be "well-read" in the Bible and immersed in the word.......not in these silly novels that I picked up randomly off the shelf. I am thankful, though, that I did check them out because they have served as a reminder that my life would be a mess without God Most High, El Elyon!
