More Thoughts
So what is knowledge? What knowledge do we seek? I am not sure, I think it to be what the bible teaches. If that is the case then I have some but I do not use it properly so I must be one of the most idiotic people alive! How could you go through life believing and not doing everything it says? That is just hypocritical! Therefore I must be a hypocrite.
How do I force myself to do what is right? I cant seem to will myself to do it cause it hasn't happened yet? I ask God for help but I am not seeing results. Maybe I am blind and don't see it? Maybe God is waiting for a better time. Or maybe God doesn't think I need it. (I sure hope that isn't the case) I am lost? Confusion is all that is boiling in my brain today!
Also along with knowledge I need understanding! I think I have understanding of most things but I still question myself. So is that really understanding if you question stuff? Cause that just means you still need answers to come to understanding. I believe in time I will probably find out most of what I want to know but why am I left in limbo for this long? Maybe all these questions are good. Hopefully they will fuel my burning need for God, knowledge and understanding.
Maybe I can become more Zealous. Maybe if I keep my mind on it by writing about it like this will help. What is it I really want? I am not exactly for certain on anything other then getting closer to God and yet I just cant focus.

I will tell you something interesting I heard this past Sabbath. In Zechariah 2:7-8, God says to His church "Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon." For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
You, and those who follow and obey God, are the apple of His eye. God chose you because you are special to Him, and He loves you. Whether you believe in yourself or not right now, God believes in you, because He knows what you are capable of. Philippians 1:6 tells us that 'being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.' God began a good work in you, and will see it through until the end. One final verse of encouragement is in Isaiah 49:14-15. But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me. Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you." God will not forget you. What you have to do is seek Him, His love, His knowledge, His wisdom, all those things. Be assured that He loves you and wants the best for you, but put in the effort, and He will protect you, and bring you close to Him and His love and wisdom.
I do understand that just sometimes I wonder about it. Which I guess probably isn't the best thing to do. But thanks for the comments I will try to keep them in mind.
