That second you spend will be worth it

I went to church this morning and it was amazing. Gods presence was definitely felt and something pretty cool was revealed to me. I wrote a poem on Wednesday called Just for a Second and I didn't give an entirely logical explanation as to what the poem was about or what I wanted to say, but it seemed so clear to me after today. The character in the poem is unsure whether or not he is willing to obey God. However, in the poem he sifts through his mind to try and understand that he obeys God, but sometimes does it out of habit. However, I believe that once the character sits down for the second time he realizes what he needs to do. He needs to be willing to obey and do so submissively. During the sermon it became clear also as to why so many people refuse God. People dislike obeying authority. Everywhere this occurs. I thought the pastor made a valid point when he said it starts when you disobey your parents. So many kids and teenagers do the things they do simply because they are told they shouldn't or they can't. I'm willing to admit some things are meant to be figured out on ones own, but our parents or guardians do know something about there childs welfare. It hurts me to know that there are high school kids that are stupid enough to drink and do drugs simply because they get a crazy sensation that they can do something wrong and get away with it. I recently heard someone say they should lower the drinking age, and it made me think whether or not people would drink as much since it would be legal. I believe this would cause less people to drink and would encourage more people to get involved in something more dangerous. Once something becomes to easy to do and one can do it without any threatening consequence it most certainly takes away the fun of it for those who love sin. Eventually people realize they need something more than one thing they turn to. This makes me realize if people can't even obey their parents, then why would they be capable of obeying God. Granted some people don't have the best relationship with their parents, some people don't have parents, but this is no excuse for not obeying. For some people its hard to listen to authority, but ultimately it is so much easier to obey than do things on your own. Obey the law, Obey your parents, Obey God! Otherwise your just going to want to sit down for a second and watch your whole life pass you by and wonder what good you did or could have done. I don't want to sit down for anymore seconds, but I probably will at certain times and look at myself in order to realize I'm not living up to God's potential for me. However, I am so glad that he keeps me informed even if it is something very minor like my poem. So in conclusion I challenge, those who took a second or much longer to read this, if you can take a second of your time to read what I have to say, then you should take at least several minutes even hours over the course of a week to see what God has to say. Open up a bible, ask someone you know about Jesus. Go to a church service. Because you can sit down for one second and be captivated for a life time if you just allow God to let you know what he has in store for all of us. That second may turn to minutes and hours, but it will be worth it when you feel Gods presence. That's all I really have to say. I don't have a new poem today, but if you want go back and read Just for a Second. Even better than that, read a scripture. Peace out and God Bless!
