"We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Hebrews 6:12
I have to make a confession...I have become LAZY! Since school has started back I feel like I have become lazy in most aspects in my life...keeping the house straight, cooking, but the worst part is in my relationship with God. When I come home from work I'm so tired so I just lounge around with my family. I go to bed early but when that alarm clock rings at 5:30 for me to get up and spend time with God I just keep setting the alarm later and later until I have to get up to get ready. I may try to squeeze a short devotion and prayer time in but it's not the God seeking I was so captivated with this summer.
God told me at the beginning of the summer that it would be a summer of change for my husband and me...our relationship with each other and with God would grow stronger. And it has! But I can not allow my laziness to let our relationships change back to the stagnant way they were. I have got to crucify my flesh and not allow my laziness to ruin the intimate relationship I've built with God. I am committing to getting back into the swing of an everyday, true God seeking experience with my Heavenly Father!
By the way, more to come on how my first Bible study went last night...

I so relate with you, it's hard. I took the time to 'sit and talk' this morning, it'd been awhile.
ReplyDeleteThis is the scripture that slapped me in the face, Proverbs 8:34-36
"Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death."
Wow, either I love him or I hate him, either I choose life or choose death. Pretty simple yet I continually live as though I hate God. I love this scripture though, picture waiting at his door...
