Now, as much as I would love to make a comparison between the Nerf wars, how our life is a battle waged against sin, and how there is a great need to build barricades against the darts of the evil one, there is a much more important analogy I would like to make. This analogy came this morning.
As we had had to move around a lot of stuff the day before, you can imagine how many odds and ends found their way onto the table, so they wouldn't run the risk of being trampled upon, and ruined. So, as I was studying this morning at the table, trying to move stuff around so I could at least have room for the scriptures, I realized that my life had become pretty cluttered, at least for the moment.
During that study, I found myself looking for a picture of Jesus that I was pretty sure we had put on the table the day before. At last, I was able to find it. As I did, a question came to my mind. It was, "What are some other ways in my life that I might have things "obscuring my view" of the most important things, such as Christ?" Asking this question definitely caused me to take a step back, and reevaluate my life.
Like a foggy day, there are times where it becomes hard for me to see the things that are most important. I have recommitted myself to focusing more on my Savior, and those things that matter most, in every minute of every hour of my life. I know that as I do this, my life will order itself according to what God would have me do, and that through this, I will be able to find the greatest amount of peace and happiness that life can afford.
