This is my first time writing/creating a blog. Additionally, this is my first post! If anyone has any tips or advice to offer I would greatly appreciate it!
This morning I had Bible study; we are reading "The Lies Women Believe: and the truths that set them free" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. We are on Chapter 5, the lies we believe about priorities.
After reading the chapter we each pick one of the several lies discussed in the chapter. Focus on our chosen lie we dig deeper and then share in our weekly meeting. This week the lie that jumped out the most to me was the lie that "I can get by without consistent time in the Word and in Prayer." Something I wouldn't typically admit, but Nancy asks us to question ourselves whether our actions and the way that we live demonstrates that we believe these lies, and I have to admit that mine would in this case. I am not consistently in the Word; humbling myself to God each morning, admitting that I need His grace, His strength, His wisdom and guidence to get through my day and to complete all of the necessary tasks. By starting my day off with Christ, I am surrendering my day to Him, learning more about Him, and strengthening my relationship with Him.
I want to glorify God with the life He has given me, but how can I know what will bring Him honor if I do not know Him? I must read His Word to get to know Him and spend time in daily to be sure that I am walking according to His will and not my own. By the Grace of God I would like to begin meeting Him each morning before my day begins spending time reading His word and praying to Him, maybe even singing some songs! :)
