The No Inspiration Zone

The title to some may seem a little contradictory as it is an inspiration by itself. But lets not dwell on that. The main point is

how many of us have come to a point in our lifes that we have literally no inspiration?

There seems to be no motivation to do work that we ought to get done, even if it means failing the exams.
No inspiration to move and get off the computer.
Well the list can go on and on. But the fact is that each of us would have gone through it.

Theoretically as Christians we should always set our eyes on God and I am sure if we do that, we will be abounding with inspiration, motivation and eagerness.

So question 2 now




Are we setting our eyes on God?






Personally, I am trying, perhaps not enough but am trying. This week of Lent has been a trying week, barely fasted and prayed although i did pray at different times. And as this happens I realise that the other aspects of life just fall apart. There seems to be no purpose in the many things i do and i lack the motivation to do it.

But beyond all that, I thank God that He has been gracious to me, dropping a few bread crumbs along the path that a little boy like me can follow ( Hansel and Gretel). And this grace goes beyond what I am doing or ought to do. It is totally undeserved.

So how then do we keep our eyes on the Lord?

Well today's lent was about knowing God and the header pretty much strikes me. I know him as gracious, kind, just, love, powerful, scary wrath with thunders and lightning.. but it all seems so a distant... and insufficient as it barely scratches the surface and there is so much more. How does this link to the question. Well imagine if there were a picture so wonderful, its colours are overwhelming and the message withing just reaches out and grabs you in, wouldn't you just stand and stare at it for a long time. (Now this analogy applies to those who may enjoy art, for those who don't imagine the picture as something that fascinates you.)

But in the first place, what if you did not know about it or did not know about the message behind it, would it have caught your attention... I am guessing not.

(most of you would have gotten what I am saying but as there is a head , there is a tail)

The same it is with God, we need to know more about Him so that we understand fully His love or the person He is. Then our attention cannot be moved and from there motivation will too abound.

So conclusion

Seek to know God and your eyes will just focus on His abundance and you will never lose in life


Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all this shall be added unto you.

Poll question

Should we use books to read about God and topics like grace or should we just read the bible and wait for illumination.
