How many of us get so wrapped up in our daily routines that by the time we sit down at night we are so exhausted, but all we can think about is what needs to be done tomorrow and try to decide how many things on our "to do list" can be pushed back to another day? Like most of us, the last thing we think about is spending time with our Heavenly Father. When we sit and really think about it, we owe Christ so much. God sent us His Son to die on a cross for us so that we would be saved from an eternal separation from Him. Christ was hung on a cross, He paid the price of OUR sins, and we show Him our appreciation by praying for our food before meal time and by opening our Bibles on Sundays when we go to church. If God loved us that much to bridge a gap between Heaven and hell then why can we not set aside a time in our life to study His Word?
I would like to suggest a challenge for each of us. I am not going to ask that we take an hour of our time to get in the Word and pray every day because we know that the physical and emotional stresses of our daily lives would enable us to do that. I am going to encourage you, however, to start dedicating 10 minutes of your daily routine to Bible study and prayer. In order to keep each other accountable I would encourage you to comment on this post what Scripture you read and what God revealed to you through your chosen Scripture. My prayer for doing this is that we will be able to grow in Christ as we develop a new found relationship with Him, as well as, relating to each other on a different level.
I look forward to reading how the Lord spoke to you during your Bible study and look forward to seeing you at our next Life Group this coming Sunday.
Love in Christ,
Becky Lemons
