today proved that studying ALL day is possible. i did a long run this morning- 10 miles on the treadmill. i couldn't actually imagine doing this, but it is possible. i couldn't actually imagine studying ALL day in one place, but it is possible. the run was successful, after a few minutes of contemplating whether or not i wanted to put my body and mind through that torture of being on a treadmill for 1 hour and 40 minutes. but i kept entertained by listening to about 8 songs i downloaded earlier, a sermon by ronnie stevens, and replayed the same 8 songs as i wrapped up the 10th mile.
in the sermon i listened to, ronnie stevens talked about First Evan and the World. somewhere in the pssage he was reading from (luke 4), he started talking about how Jesus' "occupation" was preaching the Word. that His entire identity and "job description" was glorifying the name of God. and ronnie said something like, "what does your identity come from with what you do"? "do you do it because you want to ? because you make alot of money? because it's something you like doing?" would we honestly be able to say we do our job or we do this or that because we want to glorify the name of God? this made me think about studying today and doing ALL things to the glory of God. whatever little thing i am doing, O Lord help me glorify your name and draw others to you! in the workplace, at school, interacting with patients, studying, running, etc. may they all be for your glory!
i don't really have much more to add to this post, since my day consisted of running, showering, eating, and studying. pretty eventful, right?
