Hello beautiful people!
This Tuesday I have decided to challenge myself to not use my phone for the day. Why have I chosen to do this? Because my biggest idol and distraction in life is my phone, I always have it on me, and I am a slave to its notifications. During the lock-down I have spent the majority of my time on my phone and while there is nothing wrong with using a phone and keeping in contact with people, it has been taking valuable time away from me, that I could be using to build my relationship with God. Therefore, I feel like God is calling me to a day where I can immerse myself in his word, walk with him out in nature and bond with the friends and family he has put in my life. While this is just a little challenge for myself, I am hoping God uses it to show me how much I depend on physical things around me like my phone for comfort and maybe helps me find a permanent fix for this idol in my life. I would like to invite you to also challenge yourself to try to give up one of your idols in life, if not for a whole day maybe for just a couple hours out of the day. Wouldn’t it be amazing if this Tuesday (May 26th) everyone took the day or even a couple hours away from their idols and immersed themselves in our Father? Now I know what you’re thinking, “I can’t do it Tuesday because of _______, but I’ll do it tomorrow.” Or, “Tuesday I am too busy, but ill do it another day,” but wont there always be something? There will always be an excuse or a reason why you can’t give something up for God, but when will those excuses end? When will we actually “do it tomorrow?” So that is the challenge I am giving to myself and I want to give to you, tomorrow (Tuesday May 26th) let’s stop the excuses and give up an idol for God. If you choose to take this challenge with me, I would love to hear about it and help pray for you and I would also love your prayers. Thank you so much for your continuous support and prayers!
Lastly, I would like to end this post with a prayer.
Dear God,
Thank You so much for being so prevalent in my life, thank You for continuously being in pursuit of me, even when I focus on my idols and lose focus of You. I pray that I can use tomorrow to further our relationship and get to know You better.
In Your name I pray,
Amen.
