Hey, my name is David and thanks for taking a second to check out my blog, "Step Back." I'd just encourage you when you read my posts to step back and look at how it would relate to your life. It may seem like it was written for you or you may have nothing in common with it. But I believe that God is speaking to all of us in some way. So thanks again for reading and if you find that a certain post helped you, please share it!

Not Much Time
Well as I'm sure you have found out the rapture did not happen at 6 P.M. on May 21st. Its kind of disappointing, but in other ways it isn't. Dont get me wrong, I would love to be in heaven right now worshipping God. But on the other hand it also means that God still has work for us to do. There are still people who need to hear about Jesus Christ. God does not want to see people in Hell. It would be selfish for us to keep the light that God has given us a secret. So lets go reach people for God because we dont know how much time we have left. We must stay in the Word and pray unceasingly. So put aside things of this world and focus on the eternal. Stop texting so much and get in the Text (the Bible.) Stop Facebooking so much, and get your face in the Book. Make God your number one priority, and he will guide your steps.

Change Your World
This past Friday I witnessed first hand how God has a plan for everyones life. I was going on a field trip to Chicago for school, and we were supposed to take a train down there. Long story short we ended up missing the train by 2 minutes. At first we were all bummed, but later we found out that the very train we were supposed to be on crashed. 2 people were killed and 26 were hospitalized. That could of been me or any other person who missed the train. But God isn't finished with me, or anyone who is still breathing. He has a plan for you. He wants you to come to Him. He knows that you can be a world changer. All we have to do is let God work thru us. He sees the amazing potential you have and has placed in the situation you are for a reason. Were you go to school, were you live etc. Its all part of Gods plan. It may seem lik God is out to get you, but the truth is his plan for you is bigger then you could ever imagine. You have the ability to change the world, and you can. Just ask God for strength and wisdom.

Idols
Often times when we think of idols, we think of a gold statue or something in a foreign country. But simply stated, an idol is simply something that we place higher in our lives than we place God. Satan tries to blind us from seeing things in our lives as idols. He tries to make us believe that it isn't really an idol, its just entertainment. Here is a good video clip on American Idols.
.
Satan wants to destroy you. He wants to see you waste your life. He wants to see you make checking your texts or going on Facebook a higher priority in your life then spending time with God. He wants to see you waste the time God has given you on earth. I'm not saying that checking your phone or going on Facebook is bad, it just becomes an idol when you give it more energy then you give God. So use the things or objects that God has given you not as idols. But use Facebook or texting or whatever form of entertainment in such a way that it will be plain to the world that those things are not your idol, Christ is. So give God your all, because in the end, the only thing that will stand is God. So make spending time with God your number one priority, and not things of this world.
