Mark 12:30
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
Obsession
Man's made for it, driven by it, yearns to have it, is a match divinely ordained with it. But it's your choice: which kind, thing, type, of obsession? It's essentially synonymous with that "God-shaped vacuum"; it's man's destiny, but one along side of which man has option B: that is, rejection. You've gotta have at least one. To be lacking would be to abandon the joys, wellspring of passion, deeply-rooted energizing motivation that come from that object at which one may throw life to the wind, cares to God, and zealous gusto to the task. It carries you through anything, and you see it in everything. In terms of nominees to take the honor, David scores:
Psalm 119:16
I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word.
Please, the Christian nameplate lacks this breed; pretty please, become a member, be radically, desperately obsessed with God, up to the flippin' gills, discombobulated-ly in love with everything Jesus Christ. Think Him, breath Him, dream Him, speak Him, praise Him, spread Him, 24/7/365, 366 for a leap year. And lest I have this remission: be sure, I'm not a showcase of Godly obsession, by any stretch of the imagination. Nonetheless, with consecutive watersheds over last weekend, Ted Dekker's Obsession and the unearthing of my life verse (the same Gospel vers libre as above), my reality (by God's grace in my oh-so-undeserving life) has taken a radical turn to God's version of reality, aka, the right kind, obsession with Him.
And it's only what's expected of us.
Stay tuned,
Sam
