inspired. TRUE. blessed. LIFE-GIVING. worshipful.
I need more of God. I need more of the Holy Spirit filling me up. everyday. I need the truth of God's Word written on my heart. I desire to know only God SO much more.
Every day, every week, every night I get frustrated with myself- I let my lazy, sinful, worldly ways get in the way of truly, deeply knowing God. knowing His Word.
I need to change. I need to change. I need a new routine. I need to change. I need to make the Word of God my true priority. [NOT reading emails, facebooks, other blogs]
So what will I do? This blog will be my accountability. Every morning, just as I do now, I will get on the computer, but this time with my Bible by side and instead of reading emails, facebook, and other blogs, I will read and journal about what God is teaching me through His Word. Every-stinking-day I WILL.
So here we go. Day 1.
1 Peter. chapter 1.
verse 14-16. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
be holy in all you do. be set apart in all you do. be set apart in all I do. in everything I do I must be holy, be set apart, be different from this world, because He is holy. in everything I do, I must be set apart, be holy. as I nanny, in class, as a small group leader, as a wife, as a daughter, and friend. even when I drive, go to the store, or blog. I must be set apart for the world. BECAUSE HE IS HOLY.
verse 23- 25. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For,
All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord endures forever.
Seems pretty fitting. I need that enduring Word of God in my life. in my heart. in my words.Lord,
THANK YOU for Your Word. that it is living. that is enduring. that I even have the opportunity to read it. to soak it in. to apply it in my life. to memorize it. to speak it. I pray that you would fill me up. fill me up with your Spirit, your Word, your promises, your life.
More of you and less of me.
