Blastoise!!!

(turn your sound on :] ) and hope this works...



BLASTOISE!!!!!

i thought that this video was hillarious...
you're probably wondering how this video has anything to do with anything... but recently i came across this verse:

"Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord." -Romans 12:11

zeal directly correlates with fervor here... both meaning an intense passion towards something, but in this case, paul is telling us to never lose heart of serving the Lord both spiritually and physically.

physically, the Lord expects us to give ourselves fully to Him as living sacrifices...(romans 12:1) this involves a great deal of faith, trusting that God will provide for our every need, which the He says He will reward... our attitude also needs to be in check... having the attitude of Jesus Christ himself, which is definitely not easy... (philippians 2:5-11)
spiritually, this can relate to how we use our time... God gives us so much of it... and we end up just wasting it... im no genius but i dont think that is fervently serving or glorifying God. we need to be zealously getting into God's Word and spiritually serving Him that way especially with summer coming up, our "free time" should be spent serving the Lord, and serving Him not because its an obligation, not because we should, but because we can and we desire to glorify Him. (that comes from a verse... cant remember it though) Seize the Summer!!!

we need to be as excited as the kid in the video, except over more than just pokemon cards, (which im sure we all used to be into :P ) but for the opportunities we get to sanctify ourselves through God's Word and to serve Him as our Lord and Savior!!

Praise the Lord school's out... AND blogger's working... thats amazing :P

Pokemon' can get pretty exciting,
It isn't anything worth hiding when a blastiose pops outta a pack,
Same with serving our Lord we should go on and on yack and yack,
Giving our lives fully to the work of the Lord,
With our free time we shouldn't be bored,
We should be pumped and torrid for Him...thats all nice blog chui!

first off that was a hilarious video, and i thought that related a lot to how we need to feel about the Lord always not only when we begin our walk with him but all the way through. everyone can get bored of pokemon at some point but we should never grow bored of the Lord because he is so amazing and we will spend our whole lives trying to understand him but we will never know all the mysteries of the Lord.
