It's the early time of 3:24 a.m. and I'm just getting to my blog. I had class this morning, drove to Auburn and went to the Harry Potter 7 midnight release. Before I get to what I learned today I'm gonna talk about a few randoms things.
First, HP7 was awesome! I usually hate the movies (as you could tell by my second ever blog on here). But this one was amazing. It actually stuck to the book and they did it well. In teh last movie I had enough complaints to fill a decent sized blog, and to tell the truth I was planning the same for this one, but no such luck. Anyway for once I'm pleased with a Harry Potter movie.
Second, I want to clarify some stuff from my blog yesterday. I love love love (did I say I love) music. It's an awesome way of worship, so awesome I listened to music my entire drive to Auburn today. What I was trying to get at yesterday was that our time worshiping through prayer should be greater than our time through song. I realized after my blog yesterday that it may have seemed like I was discouraging music. Not at all what I was doing. Just remember the more time you spend talking to the author and perfecter of our faith the closer to Him you will be which will lead to better worship through music.
So today's blog is named "Our Portion". On the way to Auburn today I was listening to my iPod and 'My Portion' by Shane and Shane came on and it reminded my how much I love that passage: [25] Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
[26] My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
(Psalm 73:25-26 ESV)
There is NOTHING on earth I desire besides you! I love it! It fits perfect with my name of my blog and with my first blog about me wanting this to be my life. I want nothing on earth more than Jesus. Then you go down to v.26 and it continues to define me. My heard and flesh may fail. In my case 'may' means 'will'. My heart and flesh will fail. Over. And Over. And Over. But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. When I fail He still is. He always is. So remember that God is our portion. He is what completes us and makes us whole! Something has to be your portion, something has to be what fills you, something has to be what makes you whole. Make sure that's Jesus.
Counting all things loss,
Timothy Mathis
P.S. Be praying for me and John Baxley as we travel to Tuscaloosa tomorrow (later today). We will be there for most of the weekend so thats where my blog's will be coming from!
