Does God Like Rollercoasters?

So the other night I was thinking about how to glorify God in everything that we do. What does that look like? More importantly, how do we glorify God everyWHERE we are? For instance, an amusement park. Everybody loves a good amusement park. Everybody's happy, people are screaming, people are with their families and friends, you get the picture. People want to be there basically.

Obviously people like amusement parks. The reason why they go there is to make themselves happy, to get a rush, to get a break from life. Now, most people would be like, "stop right there! That's self-fulfillment! It's wrong! We need to devote our lives to God and that will bring us more happiness in the long run other than this stupid 'living in the moment' thing!" and that makes sense. I've struggled with this for a while. It says in the Bible that we need to lose ourselves and God will give us new life. So we should devote our lives to Him. Sometimes I felt like this meant I had to be always in the right place at the right time in order to do His will. And then I started to change my mind about things...

Well, God does have a will for us. He wants us to fulfill it and in some areas we have to place ourselves in the right place and let Him work through us when we get to the right spot. But Jesus, if you think about it, experienced a ton of different atmospheres of His time, and He carried out God's will everywhere He went. What I'm trying to say is that we don't always have to put ourselves in the right position. Sometimes we just have to trust that God will do with us what He wants wherever we are.

This is important to note because we're human (duh). Why I bring this up is because even God had a day off. We, obviously, don't even come close to God so we clearly need a day off as well. This doesn't mean we break our morals, or screw our lives up, it just means we can blindly be led in faith by God sometimes.

One last thing, who are we to say where God's going to work in us? Some days we spend a whole day in our house. Some days we spend with a bunch of Christian people. On those days sometimes I'll ask myself, "How can God work through me today? I'm not in a place to show God's light on somebody." But the reality is... if we believe God is all powerful and can work through anyone at anytime in any place, then He can work through us at an amusement park.

Don't think I'm saying you should spend your life at an amusement park though, there's many other places where God's will needs to be carried out.
