iwhat?

Everything today is self focused. iPod, ihome, iPad...... Why is "I" the beginning of all the toys we want? Remember the bumper sticker that says, "the one with the most toys wins." American "I"dol? Notice the emphasis, why is I the beginning of idol? Doesn't the bible talk about having no other gods before you. Idols can be many different things. I need, I want, I have, I was, I said, I did, I can, I will, and the list goes on and on. Look at people around you. Look at the needs of others. Look at what you already have, not what you don't. Now go back to the old testament see what God said to Moses. Moses asked God, "who do I say that sent me?". God said, 'I am that I am.' Before you can look inward, you should look upward. Discover who the 'I am' is before you look the "I" in any situation. Look outward before inward. You will find your need is merely a want. The outside maybe dark, the 'I am' can make a difference. If the "I" continues to be the focus in your life, the 'I am" can't make a change in your life. You ask why, because you have a free will and He will not usurp your choices. Find the 'I am' so the the "i" doesn't get in the way of life.
