While I sat freezing in my chair at the soccer fields today, waiting for the games to start, I was thinking on some stuff I'd heard someone say and generally the gist was about God, who He is, what they believe about Him.
What do I believe?
I believe God was, is and always will be.
He is The Creator.
His ways are perfect.
He is infallible.
There is so much more to say about Him, I could go on literally forever, but basically what I'm trying to say is I believe there is none greater than Him.
All of that to say, when I started to think about Him, in all His reverence, I started to get convicted.
So I believe what His word, the Bible, tells me, but how do I apply that? How am I making Him a part of my every day life? Most importantly, is He first in my life?
If I want to be completely honest, I'd have to say no, He isn't right now.
I'm pained to admit that.
How is it that I've fallen so quickly and easily to the ways of the "ME".
Making sure I'm comfortable, and yet, I'm not completely comfortable. I feel the pull of spirit against flesh. My selfishness against His desires. How does a friend become a best friend? You spend time with them, get to know them. God knows all about me, but do I know all about Him? I"m sure if I did I wouldn't even need to ask the question.
Women's Bible study has started at church, we are now in a small group, and lots of time is spent with the girl's to memorize their verses for AWANA.
Memory verses.
The two words that strike an instant response in me. I grumble and complain.. I can't. It's too much to learn the girl's verses, verses for both Bible studies.
Is it really too much or am I just being lazy?
Lazy wins.
How better to know God, than to know His Word. To strengthen my walk with Him. To strike the enemy down with the armor of God.
Nothing is more powerful.
My walk with the Lord has been up and down, and while I'm more in the down position at the moment, my desire is to climb back up. Day by day. Minute by minute if need be.
And I will memorize my verses.
