biking with the wind blowing me...

yeah, hoping that my mind makes some sense in writing. my sense of black and white in matters relating to life and thoughts are becoming blurred - i hope not by the influence of new age but rather by the influence and my human understanding of the grace of God. i want these recordings to become a reminder of God's faithfulness in my golden days.
So, welcome my friend, let's learn together. I beckon you.

Syok Sendiri

The chief end of God is to glorify Himself and enjoy Himself forever.

What a syok sendiri God. But think about it. If God is not a happy God, that means the other road He could take is being a frustrated God. If I have a frustrated God, then He is not a Sovereign God. If He is not Sovereign, then the world is outta whack! 

So my conclusion is, my God is syok sendiri. It doesn't sound wrong to me. The Bible says everywhere (lots in Psalms) that God does what He pleases. Not what I please. What HE pleases. And because of His obsession with Himself, things are in control. I like that. It really does sound like I am out of whack now. Tell me about it.  

On the contrary, if I throw it out there and say I wanna do what I please to glorify myself and enjoy my own person forever, then I risk myself being labelled as a carefree, careless, irresponsible and 'whateverelse that is negative' kind of a person. It doesn't sound that out of whack if you let it sink in that God's sole purpose is to glorify Himself and enjoy Himself forever.

Makes me happy that He is in control and I am not. Makes me happy that He is a happy God, because that means I can be happy too, and He definitely wants me to be happy as well. The circle. 

Go grab John Piper's Desiring God. It will keep you awake for sure! So, don't even think about reading it as a pre-'deep and restoring rest' kinda book. This one will definitely keep your mind active.

my mind is functioning.
