Please bear with me as I try to get my thoughts out and grab an understanding of blogging.
This morning in Church God met me…ok he meets me everywhere but today I paid attention. My pastor was speaking about where we stand in our spiritual walk with Christ. What does my relationship look like? And God smacked me in the face! For so many years I’ve done the basics but often it becomes routine or sometimes I easily fall out of routine. For example reading my bible, I’ve often found myself skipping out on reading my bible for myself. I use Church or bible studies as my time with the Lord. While those are good it’s not going to help me grow. So today I found myself humbled in front of the Lord. I desire to know him but I can’t let the basics become routine and ordinary.
My pastor used ladders as our examples. Today’s ladder…the ladder of Spirituality/Relationship with God is the key to the other ladders. 2 Cor 5:17 says: This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun. So this week I’m working on moving up the ladder. To remove the old things in my life to replace them with the new. Titus 3:3-7 says: Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and ency, and we hated each other. But-“When God our Saviour revealed his kindness and love, he saced us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, fiving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life”
God sent is Son so that I would not be ordinary. I’m looking forward to learning and growing these next few months before my adventure begins. The Lord has tons in store for me. My goal this week is to learn to be silent with the Lord, so often I let things get in the way of what the Lord has to say to me. It’s a new start. I’m movin’ on up.
Thank You for taking the time to read my rambling. Eventually I will get the hang of blogging and my thoughts hopefully wont be so jumbled. =]
