GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME

It's crazy to me how we listen to and believe so much of what the world says. We look up to celebrities. We listen to Tyra, Oprah, Steve Harvey, Dr. Phil. We can quote movies and songs. Isn't it crazy how we know all about Rihanna's life,Beyonce's career, Chris Brown, Paris Hilton, etc.? Why do we care about these people so much? Why do we jump to hear what the latest gossip is about them? We can sometimes get so wrapped up in the lives of these celebrities. We may flock to the store to buy their albums, clothing lines, accessories etc. We wanna learn the new dance move or the new "it" phrase. Why do we care so much to listen and follow people who don't even know us? Have you ever watched a sport game on television with other people and all of a sudden someone starts screaming at the television? And then someone might say, "you know they can't hear you!". DUH! It's true. We put so much time and effort into getting to know the lives of people that don't know us, aren't listening to us, and don't care about us! That's crazy! You know if we put as much effort into our Savior Jesus Christ as we do these celebrities...man!...we would be a happier people and less worried and stressed. Yes, it's a tragedy about what happened with Chris Brown and Rihanna, but what are we really doing about it by talking about it with others and reading the magazines. NOTHING. But as Christians what should we be doing instead? PRAYING.

So what are you trying to say? I'm saying that we should worry less about what Steve Harvey or Dr. Phil, or Tyra, or Oprah or anyone else in this world is saying and FOCUS more on what God is saying. He's got all the answers. When we spend time in His Word, we're spending time with Jesus. He cares about us. He loves us. He worries about us. When we spend time in the magazines and the television that doesn't equate to us spending time with the celebrities we're looking at. It just means that we're taking that time away from God. It just means that we're not spending time with the One who cares about us.

So...get your head out the mags, your eyes off the tv, and your mind off of the latest gossip. Get your head in the Word of God and see what He's saying. Instead of spreading gossip, spread the Good News. Pull your head out of the mags and put your head in the Book--the Bible.
