We had a longer group meeting than usual tonight. We went around and talked about what we have learned the most over the course of the trip and really sought insight of what the Holy Spirit was trying to show us. Kurt brought up this great point of all these places that we have seen throughout this trip. We have seen all these ruins and beautiful buildings made for gods and goddesses and they are beautiful, but they are nothing. They are rubbish. They mean nothing and that is because there is no god in those buildings. He is no where in those things and that means absolutely nothing, there is not eternal, there is nothing. This got me to start thinking about what God has been showing me throughout these two weeks...
Psalm 118:7
"Yes, the Lord is for me, he will help me. I will triumph at those who hate me."
God is there. He is not leaving. He is my rock, my fortress...he is what is protecting me. I can only win with him being there for me. And then I thought, what do idols do for me? Nothing, absolutely nothing. There is no God in the idols. There is nothing there. This means that I am not being pushed, but I am only existing. It's easy, it's easy to fall into that. What does this mean? If I want this and I want to worship the true God...I need to go all the way. I need to be pushed.
