Sharing my thoughts from this morning's daily Bible reading...

Have you ever seen the movie Space Balls? If not, you're not missing out. It's a pretty lame attempt to parody the Star Wars series. One of the quotes that has been dubbed as affecting pop culture is when the captain informs his crew to, "Prepare for Ludicrous Speed!" They all freak out because it's never been attempted before, going nuts, and so on.

I'm totally the same way as the captain's crew. God pushes us to prepare for action (1 Peter 1:13-16) and instead of battening down and getting in gear, I sometimes have the urge to loose my mind and head for the hills. But God is calling us to just hold to what we know: grace, hope, love. The funny (actually sad) part is He 'assumes' we've been 'in the know.'

This is a big reminder to me to always put my reading, prayer, and connecting with Him FIRST. I need to know God's heart so when he makes statements like, "do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance." I can stand up take action as reply, "God, I know what's right because I searched your Bible and found it to be true. I will be holy as You are holy."
