Well it is day three in to this 365 day journey and I have already missed a day. What is wrong with me??? I missed reading my Bible yesterday....I did make up for it today and caught up but if I would just do a little a day it would not pile up to the point that I don't know where to begin...I REALLY do this with everything in my life from cleaning house to waiting till the very last minute to start getting ready to go somewhere. KNOWING if I would do it when I needed to I wouldn't end up stressed and mad at myself. I want this to be fixed in my being...Heavenly Father, I know you see my weaknesses and faults...please help me to put this procrastinating spirit behind me so that I can be a more productive person to better serve you and others...in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
I am going to group day 2 and 3 together with my thoughts...I didn't have as many "ahh ha" moments today and I am sure it has everything to do with the fact I put off reading till today and I feel guilty for it...A PERFECT example of how something that is so small can put a wedge in my closeness to God...
Genesis 3:1-7:24
Matthew 2:13-4:11
Psalm 2:1-3-8
Proverbs 1:7-19
Genesis 3:1
Why in some places like Gen 3:1 is it stated, Lord God, but in other places Gen 1:31 it says simply God? I will find this answer out and get back...I wonder if it has something to do with the 3 head as compared to just One...maybe not but I have found that everything in the Bible is intentional, so it is not like they just forgot to put Lord in some places.
Genesis 3:16
And he shall rule over you
I know what I am about to say is not a popular belief in today's society but I feel from the bottom of my heart this is another direct commandment from God that is ignored. We as a society have gotten so wrapped up in having power and control that no one is taking care of what we need to anymore...myself included. Mothers were made to raise children and be nurtures and men to be providers. We all have lost our roles but so many of us had to put on hats that were not ours because someone else dropped the ball. I am not sure how to fix this...we are raising generations of girls that feel like they have to be superior to men and generations of boys that have grown up without fathers. I know I am not talking about EVERYONE but of my circle of girlfriends I can say that 80% of them parent alone for the most part and don't have a "MAN" in their life.
Matthew 2:13-4:11
Our flesh desires bread to live but our spirit desire and lives on the word. Without the Word our spirit will starve and not exist, having us to make judgment only by what is living and we are feeding ...THE FLESH. WE MUST feed our spirit daily with the Word just as we feed our flesh with bread.
Matt 4:6
An example of the devil knowing the Bible...We should be careful of those claiming to be righteous...Many of them know the word, just like the devil, but do not have God in their heart.
Proverb 1:7
but fools despise wisdom and discipline
I struggle with having discipline in my life.....at this point I AM the Bibles definition of a fool.
Like I have stated before "I AM AN EVERYDAY WORK IN PROGRESS" I make mistakes and I am OK with that. I learn more daily who I am in Christ and how He doesn't take His love away from me just because I make mistakes. I really have an awesome Father!!
LOVE YOU GUYS!!
Heather
