Order in Chaos: A Spiritually Inspirational Self-Hellp - Chris Downs, 150 Pages
As a weekly devotional and meditation, this book will lead you to question your own beliefs to become an even better Christian. Spanning across all kinds of life’s great questions, the author aims to help you be the better person you always want to be. This book will change the way you think about life while changing your life!
Imagine the world as a baseball. God’s the pitcher and you’re up to bat. God can choose to throw the ball in any direction, but when it comes in range, you can choose to be prepared and go for a home run, bunt and try to take life base-by-base, or simply strike out and let someone else take over. Many people wait all across the field of life to catch your ball and prevent you from making it home, whereas God will always throw the pitch right to you. It’s just your responsibility to be ready for the right time to swing. Miss it by a fraction and the ball (your world) may not go where you need it to in order to gain a home run.
Take a piece of art and scrutinize it in your mind. Critique every last detail until you’ve come to be firm in your judgment of its quality. Now know that even after divulging in all it’s beauty, you only have a slight glimpse into what kind of person the artist is. In the same sense, take the smallest bit of creation you can understand, try to grasp how many more of them exist across the universe and then know that even after realizing this, you still only have a small glimpse into how creative God really is. Add up all the brightest minds to ever exist, and this still would only be a small fraction of the intellect, creativity, knowledge, wisdom, and power that God has.
Take all the pain, suffering, sorrow, heartbreak and tears you’ve experienced, multiply them by how many billions of people have ever existed and know that all this pain is caused by sin.Now realize that sin is what makes God cry. Even after suffering on the cross, God still endures countless unfathomable amounts of pain because of the sin we humans commit. It’s not just a cross that gave him a splinter.To be righteous is to walk upright; being noble and wise. To be noble and wise you must have God in you as all things good are of Him. Therefore, to not have God, would mean you’re nothing, whereas to have Him, you are something. The better you want to be, the more of God you need. Each person in life views things through his own eyes. When more than one person observes any given object, they will always have their own points of view. In the same way, some claim the gospels are riddled with contradictions, whereas in truth, it is merely different points of view to show Jesus in 3D to give us more depth into who he really is. Some say we don’t need a diet to worship God. Ever consider that fasting is a denial of the flesh, a constant prayer, and that we do it everyday anyways? (Refer to break-fast). Also, fasting is relying on God to sustain you, which helps us grow our faith. You don’t have to fast from food, maybe just from fast food. In this form of prayer and worship, we show God we mean business. I recommend reading “Fasting” by Jentezen Franklin. Amen. We don’t need to say amen and hang up on God. If we want God to speak to us, maybe we should leave the phone off the hook and listen all day. Maybe it’s wise to pray continually, killing two birds with one stone. If we pray continually, it gives us the opportunity to pray for everyone we daily encounter, while also reminding us that God’s connected to our daily thoughts; a way of keeping ourselves in check (who would think dirty thoughts knowing God’s still listening)…..
