Me Time!

 

What does a Christian need to prepare them for the fight ahead? Faith is a tool in our armory that is imperative to drive us forward and it feeds our hope, which in turn brings glory to our God. A win-win all around. So what must we do to add to our faith, igniting our hope, whilst fueling our zeal to get on with what really matters and bringing glory to our heavenly Father? The very first place for us to start is to hear God's voice, and how do we do that? We read our Bibles, and I cannot stress how important this is. It’s the time and place where you allow God to speak to you without any distractions. Just you and He as the Spirit of God nourish, comfort, and admonishes, whilst the words from the page come to life and minister straight into the core of our hearts. It’s rather beautiful, even if at times, we are softened to tears as we seek forgiveness for our sin and folly, those split-second choices that speak of death. The beauty of reading the Bible has such a profoundly brilliant outcome in shaping our minds, as we grow in the statue of Jesus Christ our King. This is what it’s all about, having our minds transformed as we begin to work out what the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God looks like for our lives. To achieve this objective we must read our Bibles. "Bible reading is God speaking to us, whilst praying is us speaking to God". Maybe it’s time to start a challenge, a Bible reading challenge, nominate someone to read a book of the Bible, and then pass the challenge on to the next person and so on. Or stand alongside someone and get your hand on “read the bible in a year pdf”, there are many around. I will also leave a tag at the bottom of this post. Single out an individual or a couple of people and check in with each other, keeping one another accountable in love.

 

Christian we need to hear the voice of our heavenly Father, READ YOUR BIBLES! It will add to your faith and ignite your hope. Of this truth, I am 100% converted, with no ifs and buts. I would encourage all to be like little children and allow the Word to simply wash them. I am not referring to a particular study of any given topic, although this is also very important, my encouragement to you is just to read and digest. Our intent must be one of a child running excitedly into the arms of his father where there is safety. Whatever you need to do, set time aside in the day to read you’re Bibles. Call it “Me time”, allow no distractions to hinder your intent, as obstacles will come, be faithful and God will remain faithful. Do not deny yourself the opportunity to hear the voice of your God speak directly into your hearts.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
