don't be lazy!

i'll keep this short:

i'm in the process of preparing a message (some people call it a sermon). i am going to talk about joseph. the one with the fancy robe, hated by his brothers, sold into slavery, master of dreams.

i was perusing genesis 37 and the following chapters trying to decide what sections of verses i wanted to use when i realized... I'M BEING LAZY!

sometimes i have a tendency to rely on what i already know, what i believe, what i think is good or right or best. you might have this tendency too. well, i realized that lazily sifting through scripture will never equal submersing myself in it. and life change rarely follows lazy. with that said, i've gotta go. i have some bible to read.

and maybe that's what you need to do, too. throw what you know out the window and find out what God is promising you. i'd rather be in the presence of God than in the presence of me! let's stop being lazy about it.
