Howdy sweet friends! This is just a little lesson I am being re-taught so graciously by our good good God. More of Him less of us— heaven come quickly!
Do I want social media/technology to be the bookends of my days or the Holy, perfect, fulfilling, truth speaking, affirming word of God? The Bible is sacred and I will treat it as such, my eyes will open and I will turn to open the pages of the living gospel— not the empty screen of a hand held device. The Bible brings life, why would I try and feed myself with anything else in the morning when I rise and in the night before I rest? Only he brings life, everything else feeds off his goodness— so I am done seeking fulfillment from anything but his truth. You will be my bookends Lord— the true beginning and true end. I will breathe you in and out, and you will be my God. Please have grace over my life and abide in me. The more we bring the Lord into every aspect and facet of our lives, we will naturally begin to reflect more of his character. It’s just fact! The more we seek him, the more we find him and see his perfect face within everything that stems from his being. When the choice is made to have the creator of the universe be the first thing I turn to when my eyes open and shut, I become so much more sensitive to what he sees as holy and blameless and not. When I’m compartmentalizing my faith and only allowing him into certain areas of my life I become desensitized and I do not revere him and fear him the way he rightfully deserves. I am so grateful and blessed to have a King that gives me grace, offers patience, and draws me near himself again and again. I am so safe with him!
