It’s Monday again and I hope everyone had a great weekend. I am still getting into the routine of having a blog so bear with my when there isn’t a post every day. Mine was very productive with purchasing curtains for some of the house and spending a wonderful weekend with my beautiful wife. We tried to shop for cloths for me but that can be a challenge sometimes. We need a whole store dedicated to Big & Tall. Anyway, overall it was a very productive weekend. I look forward to spending time with my wife and I hope we always enjoy spending time with each other. I schedule things around her so we can have the most time together to learn and grow together in life and love. I think we can feel that way about God sometimes. We get so used to the day to day routine of being a “Christian” that we seem to fall into a robotic like state of praying or reading our bible because it’s what you were taught to do instead of a desire to do so. I am very guilty of that. I want that burning desire to want to read Gods word and learn and question and think. I hope if you are in that place that you will join me in a desire to pursue the Almighty God in a way you never have. Sometimes God becomes something that we fit into our schedule. At the end of the day you say “well I have a few minutes before I go to bed so I guess I’ll read my bible” or “well this is what I’m supposed to do so I better”. I know at first it takes discipline to get into the habit of reading your bible on a regular basis but we must also pray for God to give us the focus and desire to follow after him in all that we do and in our day to day schedule. I am a Christ Follower and I pray that my life will reflect him in all I say and do. Lord, please create in me the desire to consume your word and apply it to my life.
Grace and Peace

I can identify with your desire to desire Him and His Word. I have always thought that as a person gets older, life should be more ordered and priorities in place so that there is more time to commit to a relationship with God. Looking at 58 this November, I can say that I've been wrong. There is no more time now than when I was young. Actually, there seems to be less time now, even after the kids are raised and long gone. If you talk with the next generation back, my mother, she will tell you that time only speeds along faster the older you get.
ReplyDeleteWe all have the same 24 hours in a day and it is our responsibility to carve out our most productive time when we are at our best, to give to our Creator. He deserves no less. He created us to be in a loving relationship with Him. There is no more important task or activity than spending time in the presence of our Master.
Passion towards Him is what He expects from us. He who gives us each breath commands it. It's not an option.
God, light the fire of your Spirit within each of us.
