I have been having this urge of getting back to blogging and as I was spending time with God this morning, I felt today was the day. Lately, I have been so busy with work and school that my time with God is spend in the car on my way to work or on Sunday when I go to church. I was listening to Pastor Steven's sermon Sunday night at work when he said something that really stuck with me "feed your faith". I feel that I get so complacent with reading my Bible sometimes. I make an excuse that I am busy or I will do it next time and that time never comes. I have a yearly inspirational book that I read every morning but never take that time to just sit with my Bible, journal and God and listen to Him. Thank God for I phones cause I downloaded this cool Bible app You Version that has reading plans and entire Bible verses. Instead of beating myself down, I realized I have a lot of resources to help me stay connected with God throughout my day and I can already tell that my days have become that much better because I include God in everything I do literally.
Philippians 3:10 says "I want to know Christ. Yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in His suffering becoming like Him in His death"
This Bible verse wrecks me every time. As a Christian, we want to live life praying to God to bless us but what happens when things don't go our way? What happens when our prayers are not answered? What happens when bad things happen in our lives? Sometimes things happen that we do not have answers to and this verse is a good example of how to deal with situations like this. To be like Christ, we have to enjoy the good times and embrace the bad. Enjoy the power of his resurrection and participate in His suffering! Furthermore, Jesus suffered such a great suffering that cannot compare to what we go through every day just so that we can have GRACE. We become that much stronger if we participate in our suffering with Jesus on our side!!
Seek the Lord and find Him. Psalm 119 shows the power of God's word and teaches us to obey Him in everything we do. It is not about us, but about Him.
Spend time with God daily and meditate on his word and see how it transforms your hearts and lives
Psalm 1
God has been so good. I do everything to give Him glory. Be Blessed :)
