Are you eating with Lord? |
Hello Friends!
Are you hungry? I mean hungry for something that lasts forever and can never be taken away. The love, joy, peace and forgiveness that can only found in Jesus Christ. We all have sinful desires and each of us can easily seek the things of this world to fill us up, to give us temporary satisfaction but it will disappoint or even send us down a path of destruction. This hunger can only be filled with Jesus. We were created to want something more. We were meant to be His image bearers. This is why we as Christ followers need the Word of God to drink and eat of His Word. How can we reflect Him if we aren't looking in the mirror of the Bible.
So our provider of everything is waiting to feed His children not only physically but spiritually.
God has equipped us with His Word so that our "eyes would be opened to recognize Him" daily. I am praying that we would not be "slow of heart to believe" but keep His Word close so our "eyes will be opened".
I am reading through the bible in a year. I don't know if you are taking this challenge this year or not but just this one act of obedience has changed my life. You see I use to never be confident about what God's Word said because I didn't know what it said. I was not reading it to really dig in and learn. Sometimes I read the Bible out of obligation or because I needed something and on Sundays it would be like a crash course from sermon notes. Then I realized if I wanted more confidence in Christ and have true growth in my walk with Christ I needed to learn what God's Word said for my self. So I started reading and writing scripture daily. The writing really helped my mind see the words and then reading them helped me memorize them. I have even written scripture on my hands to give myself truth to focus on during my day. Try it for yourself and see God change your day and open the eyes of your heart throughout your day to see His abundance and recognize His work all around us.
I want to challenge you to read scripture everyday too. I think we can all relate to being lead by emotions and our own strength. It is through God's Word that we can distinguish between lies of this world and truth. This is were we will grow roots so we can stand firm in our walk with the Lord and truly be Spirit lead through our days.
I am rooting for you this year to get started reading through God's Word for the first time or continue on in the faith my friend.
I shared more here on this Facebook Live Video about being lead by the Spirit if your interested. I hope to keep encouraging you guys so go ahead and leave me a comment whether you are joining me or if there is something you would like to hear more discussion on. Walking this Christian life isnt easy and we must rely on Christ to do it.
"But you beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit." Jude 20
Grace to you!
