Binge Watching

Lately I've been binge watching this popular medical drama that has over 20 seasons. I had never seen it before. I feel like it's a window into the left- liberal- progressive- woke- world. Every possible woke agenda is front and center to every episode, their world view, what they view as the acceptable perspective, and how they view other perspectives. Medical issues tend to be secondary, but definitely part of each storyline.  As this program spans over the C0vid era, medical issues are woke issues. 

There is one character in particular that annoys me like crazy.  She says "I, me, and mine" countless times in her dialog. She is never happy or content for long, she is fearful of commitment, self absorbed, self aggrandizing, self serving, believes self comes first,  her fullment and identy comes from her work. I find myself yelling at the TV, 'get your eyes off yourself'. Yeah, I know... it's just a fictional tv show. But it reveals a darkness. Art imitates life. It's a reflection of a potion of our society. 

True happiness and contentment comes from Yahuah alone, living a life in service to him. To the world this sounds crazy, but just ask anyone living life in this way and you'll hear about joy unspeakable.  We get to serve our fellow humans and all of creation in service to Yah. The biggest difference is that we get our value from Yah and not from what we, ourselves, are or can do.  We acknowledge that in ourselves we can only accomplish so much, but in Yahusha we can do all things. Keeping a humble attitude, not thinking too highly of ourselves, considering others before ourselves, getting our eyes off ourselves,  that is where contentment begins. Whatever the conditions are around us, we are satisfied in knowing we are where Yah wants us, we are living life in obedience to His instructions for life. He will take us to His ultimate goal for us, and that is to change us and make us like Yahusha. 

Although it is advantageous to be aware of the world around us, we need to take care we don't let it rub off on us. We can empathize with those struggling in the world and be a light to shine the way to life abundant. I am most likely done binging this show. As the seasons progress, is becoming more difficult to stomach, and too much worldly influence is not productive to my walk in faith. 

Striving to keep my eyes off myself and on Him
