We are at fault for conforming.
Totally.
Look, when things come our way, we tend to embrace it and then somehow mould it into our "destiny".
IF God made us to be more than conquerors, why aren't we conquering?
It's a disease i tell you, you may wanna argue, but it's true.
A.W. Tozer puts it nicely, allow me to paraphrase from Chapter 5 of Pursuit of God:
With the age full of automation, we tend to have shortcuts in life and comforts never known before, we therefore apply the same principles in our spiritual life, we want fast transactions, unlike prophets of old, unlike King David where he would wrestle day and night and moan just to get God's attention, now all we want is fast, spending lil time in prayer and quiet time hoping to compensate what is lacking in our spiritual walk.
We go to meetings after meetings, sermons after sermons to feel "alive" in God and we feel good bout it, but in the end always dead inside, always withering away.
He wrote that like eons ago man, and it still reigns true, with passage of time comes better gospel messages, better worship, all futile, all meaningless, swept away by the winds, scattered into dust, if David in the olden days wrote that God desired not sacrifices and external things, then why now are we falling prey to it again?
Think about it, when you fail exams and people ask you to pursue something you dislike, are you just doing it because it's safe? is it ever in God's plan?
To heck with social norms, if ever we are normal, then we wouldn't be any different from this world.
To those who are going to study overseas, don't succumb to temptations, don't let things take charge, through God take charge!
Let God rule! Don't be a wimp!
