Yes, I am actually going to talk about Einstein this morning.
E=MC(2)..it is supposed to be squared, but my keyboard doesn't have that.
Energy=mass (x) velocity of light, squared. Easy enough, right?
There are two types of energy...potential energy is an energy of position. Like if you were on top of a big hill on a roller coaster. You have the potential to go very fast if you go down the hill.
The other type of energy is kinetic. It is an energy of motion. When you go down the roller coaster hill, you are using kinetic energy because you are moving. That is why you will eventually slow down unless you go up a small hill and produce more kinetic energy.
Ok, you are wondering how this relates to your life, right? So did I...but I think of potential energy as the way God sees us and our lives. He can see the end from the beginning, kind of like the author of a book. You have to know the end so you can get your characters to do what needs to be done to get them to that place.
Well, God has a Purpose for our lives, and He guides us and directs us in that direction. Whether or not we obey and listen is up to us. God sees our potential. He knows how He made us and what special gifts He gave each of us. He knows what we can do.
I think of kinetic energy as what happens when we finally obey God and do what He asks us to do. No matter how small it is, you get a feeling of peace and joy when you obey God. That prompts us to want to obey God more. We see each time, that we can trust Him and should trust Him. God's peace is like a high I can't get anywhere else....even Starbucks.(sorry Ashley)
Once I have felt that, it makes me want more. It pushes me to do more. I begin to "move" in the direction God wants me to move. As long as I am doing God's Will in my life, my kinetic energy is ongoing. It never runs out.
In youth group, one of my friends used to say that it was as if God was standing on a mountain top and we are at the bottom. He can see farther than we can down the road and He knows what is coming...so we need to follow His directions to avoid the pitfalls He can see up ahead.
So, what kind of potential energy has God given you? Are you moving and using any kinetic energy? Why not?
Think about that.
