Lately, I've been thinking a lot about my obsession with good vs. evil, light vs. dark, etc. I know I have written about it a few times on this blog, and I think about it nearly everyday. There is this desire, which has always been inside of me, that longs to be a part of that battle. To have a greater purpose. To fight on behalf of good. To see adventure and danger. Why is that? Does everyone have that desire? Will anything come to fruition because of it?
I'm not really sure what the answers to these questions are, but I have some ideas. To go back to my old favorite C.S. Lewis, "If we find ourselves with a desire which nothing in this world satisfies, the most logical explanation is that we were made for another world." I think the longing inside of me was given to me by God. I believe it is a very real part of me. Maybe God is teaching me to be more spiritually minded. Maybe the battle I long to be a part of is "not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of darkness in the heavenly realm (Eph. 6:10)."
Does that not sound like the crazy TV shows, movies, and books that are everywhere out there?
But that call is from real life. Better than real life - it's from God's Word.
So, I'm thinking that maybe the more time I spend in prayer, and the more I expend of myself in spiritual warfare perhaps the more clear this desire will be. Who knows? I guess we'll find out what God has in store.
