It's day's like these that I feel I don't fit in. It feels like I'm left all alone here on this God forsaken earth. It is day's like these I feel I have nothing else to give you God. It feels like there is no place for me here.
And maybe that's just it I am changed so I don't fit in. Giving a craving for something so much more. There is nothing else that I can give it is all yours God. There is no place for God's anointed except in his hands. This earth is not God forsaken but people have forsaken God down here.
Oh God I cry for you. Come help me here oh God. Bless all those around me, fulfill all their needs. I pray that they would have a deep craving for you. They would cry out to you and you would answer them. Oh God help us weak humans.

the Line Between the Two
Where is this guiding force that is supposed to lead me on?
Where is this answer that I am looking for?
Why do I keep looking?
Refusing to take anything fake?
Refusing guidance by half influence?
Nothing here can really influence
Oh God show me the real.
Show me you.

My Trick for Daily Bible Readings
If you want to read your bible every day, if you want to feel your daily reading throughout the day you are going to have to need your daily bible reading to survive the day.
The problem in our post modern society is that we believe that we got everything that we need, and as human history has shown we can believe allot of lies. Read some of my previous blogs if you think you got everything you need from this world.
I guess what I'm trying to get across is that we are insignificant and incompetent, and nothing this post modern world can offer that can change this, all it offers are blindness and ignorance.
This is a hopeless condition with out God. From what we read in the bible there is only one defense that is going to save me from eternal destruction and that is Jesus. So that is the only defense I am going to use against the hopelessness of our condition. My only defense against all the world throws at me is Jesus.
Now what does this have to do with daily bible reading well just try a day without your self defense. What do you do when you fail an exam, what do you do when you feel alone, what do you do when you are made fun of, what do you do when you are with your friends? I find that it is really hard to get through the day, that is why when you strip away the worldliness we need daily bible readings to get through the day.

I don't want any friends, that I have just for self protection, just to be cool, just to be part of a group, just to have a high friend count
I want friends that I can trust, that I can be comfortable with, mess up and still be friends with. We don't have to agree but be willing to put aside our differences and have fun.

Psalm 2:7-9
Psalm 2
7
I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to me,
"Today I have begotten you.
8
Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for you inheritance,
and the ends of the earth for you possession.
9
You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel."

Not everything is as it seems
I find sometimes that so many people including myself are so stuck on our own ideas we refuse the truth even when it hits us in the face. I think people take many beliefs or ideas as facts when they are not. The biggest example I can give is a physics exam before Einstein ever knew how mass, energy, and time (the most common of human elements) worked be he stuck a wrench in the system. He completely destroyed the system and built it up again. If we take this to matters of life I believe that we really don't have any clue about how things work and the stuff that is true may only work in our lives but not work in another. The saying goes that don't judge a man till you've walk in his shoes I think that might not even be enough. If we then move this to God shoot we have no hope, and really that is the case until something happened 2000 years ago.
The problem with all this is that there are stupid ideas and smart ones that look really stupid. The only thing that I can do to resolve this is to ask God to open our blind eyes and see the answer.

Quote
"If you've ever known the love of God, you know it's nothing but reckless and it's nothing but raging. Sometimes it hurts to be loved, and if it doesn't hurt it's probably not love, may be infatuation. I think a lot of American people are infatuated with God, but we don't really love Him, and they don't really let Him love them. Being loved by God is one of the most painful things in the world, it's also the only thing that can bring us salvation and it's like everything else that is really wonderful, there's a little bit of pain in it, little bit of hurt."

Psalm 143
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
