"Jesus Walks- God show me the way because the devil tryna break me down
Jesus Walks With Me- The only thing that I pray iz that my feet dont fail me now (i waaaaant jeeeesus)
Jesus Walks- And I dont think theres nothing I could do now to right my wrongs..."-Kanye West
I am really feeling this song by Kanye; it really describes how I feel. I find myself thinking about death and eternity lately. I wonder whether I am ready to face God when my time comes. I am not 100% sure, and that scares me. I focus so much on the here and now, on my present life. But ultimately, our life on earth is so short, so fleeting. Eternity is what really matters. I look at the fact that all that I accomplish on earth will eventually amount to nothing. If its not the work of the Lord, it will not matter. I've always been somewhat obsessed with the book of Revelations and Biblical teachings about the Last Days. But everyone wants to put their own little spin on things and add different interpretations. There are certain basic things I believe and understand. The existence of God, His Son Jesus Christ, Judgement Day, heaven and hell, etc. But when it comes to practice, that's where I get lost. I've got to remember to read the scriptures for myself and obey what the Lord says, not man. As Solomon put it in Ecclesiastes 12:13 " Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
