Deuteronomy
6: 5 MSG
“Love GOD, your God, with
your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve
got!”
Albert Einstein said,
'There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a
miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.'
Matthew
7: 13 - 14 MSG
Being
and Doing
"Don't look for
shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a
successful life that can be practised in your spare time. Don't fall for that
stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to Life - to God! - is vigorous
and requires total attention."
I have reached a place in
my life that I want to be in the right place at the right time; I want to manoeuvre
through all the difficulties with success. I have decided to place myself under
the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am learning what He wants me to do
right now. I am asking that the Holy Spirit will carry me forwards. My greatest
fear in life is that I would disappoint the Lord Jesus. I know I could be the
same as every other woman. Worry about fashion, worry about my clothes, go
partying and dancing. So I need to choose Life or death. Which do you prefer?
But that's not important to me presently, and I'm not interested in that sort
of thing. I am grateful the Lord has accepted me as His child. It's about am I
serving God, or am I living a godless life.
The way God wants me to
live is by reading His Word. And here is
my problem, I know what I'm supposed to be doing, but I often have a hard time
doing it. I have slipped with discipline in my own life, and I am struggling to
get this back on track.
Prayer
Father, blessed is those
who hear the word of God and keep it. Lord he who keeps Your commandments abide
in You, and He in him. And by this, we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit
whom He has given us. In Jesus Name, Amen
