entropy.

Merriam-Webster defines entropy as "the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity [or sluggish sameness]" or "a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder." According to wisegeek.com. "Entropy comes from a Greek word (metamorphoo) meaning, "transformation." The word basically means to "change in form." Wisegeek.com goes on to say, "In more technical terms, entropy is a specific value that measures how much energy is released in a system when it settles into the lowest potential energy."

How is your energy level lately? Is it at it's lowest? I'm not talking about how fatigued your body is, but how is your spiritual energy? Do you have zeal and passion in your relationship with Christ? Are you transforming into the worldchanger God designed you to be? Things are in constant motion and there are only two ways to move: down the narrow and the hard path that leads to life, or down the wide and the easy path that leads to destruction and death. "Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7:14

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, pleasing, and perfect will." Romans 12:1 Isn't there something inside of you that deeply longs for that? As with so many other things, God has placed that desire in us from the moment of our creation. God never wanted us to fall prey to the devil's schemes, allowing His enemy to create and dwell in that void that separates us from our Creator. But it was the only way that we could truly come to know Jesus. God wanted that deepest void filled in us by our own choice and acted accordingly, no matter how much it pained Him. Now we have a responsibility as children of the Most High to make the decisions that exalt Him and lead others to His face. When we choose to ignore our calling we only aid the universe in it's ultimate state of inert uniformity. In the grand scheme who wants to be known as someone who caused erosion and decay? Don't you want to bring life and purpose and meaning to this ugly world? Don't you want to change it? It begins with transforming yourself. Yes, the world will one day die, as will everything along with it, but we have a chance to bring hope to the hopeless and rest for the weary and love for the broken and for a life after death spent with the One who started it all.

We have Jesus and Jesus is life. Let Him transform you! He came to bring life and reverse degradation and decay.
