Why do we do the things we do?
Do we ever really do what we truly want to do?
Because it just seems to be impossible to make my own choice
Whenever I’m faced with a decision, there’s always that subtle but persuading voice
I mean in the morning when I eat breakfast, am I really in control
I could eat whatever I want, but instead I get out my cereal bowl
Cereal companies know, I could have eggs instead
But I think I want cereal, because they’ve drilled that in my head
So that puts them in control, and that continues throughout the day
The power of persuasion, it affects what we do and what we say
We’re not really making choices we’re living out choices that have already been made
And if those choices were developed by cereal companies, then that makes our personality fade
That’s why I’m glad God made us, and made us exactly the way we are
Because if I was left to persuasion, I don’t think I’d make it very far
But that also means that since God made us He must have had a purpose for doing so
The fact is that we’re made for His glory, which may seem kind of shallow
I mean why should we serve Him, What’s in it for us
It’s because we are only truly satisfied, when we let Him have control of us
There’s just something about living for Him, that’s hard to describe
You get a feeling of peace and joy that makes you feel alive
And it makes sense that we’d be happiest, when we’re doing what we were made for
Plus this happiness won’t fade, so we don’t need any more
As long as we stay dependent on Him we’ll remain satisfied
It’s not about always being in control, as long as God is being glorified
