"concentrated, on concentrate orange juice boxes"
she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice box because it said "concentrate."
haha...this little quote made me laugh...but it also got me thinking....so many times in life we are just like that...we see something or God tells us something and we take the literal meaning of it.. and jump "gung hoe" in to it.....i dont know if i am coming across clear...but if the chick with the juice box took a moment and did some research...she would have realized that "concentrate" in that context meant that the juice wasent straight from the source.....instead she wasted 20 minutes looking at the box :)....cause she missed the true meaning....sometimes we are like that too....we dont take the moment to find the promise in the Word...or we dont wait for a conformation or clearer direction... and so we hear something like "new season"...and we jump into things that arent in the direction that God wants us to go...and so we waste "2o minutes"...or sometimes 20 years.....flowndering about...like an air headed chick who is "concentrating" on her concentrated orange juice....the world does not need anymore "airheaded" christians.....do we?..i dont think so...this generation needs people who arent afraid to ask the Lord to show them tangable direction...like Gideon...or that arent afraid to spend an hour searching the Word for the words that line up with the direction that God is taking them....i am not saying lets promote second guessing....i am saying lets stand on the words that God has spoken to us....and challenge them...cause there are sprirts that are around to distract us and tell us things that "sound or seem"...like something God wants us to do....but no matter what the false things HAVE TO FALL...but Gods truth and words spoken to us will always remain and stand strong...so dont be afraid to challenge...Gods not afraid of it...cause He has nothing to worry about...and if you see any of your fellow christians sitting around staring at "concentrated orange juice boxes"...pray for them...cause they have been misled and need Gods help to bring them back to the plan that HE has destined for them....
