What is the point here.
Pay attention to reading, exhortation, teaching.
Don't neglect the gift.
Be diligent.
Give yourself wholly.
Pay attention to yourself, to your teaching.
There is no more significant hour than right- now.
Thousands of years ago, You told us "pay attention to yourself." Father, what happened to us? We are a people who do not listen; who weigh not the words about our lives; who live detached from the reality of how we come across. How will we know if we do not pay attention to what we are reading, hearing, teaching, saying. Oh Father, help us!

Dear pearls, Mike and I need your prayers, I can't mention the specifics on the internet

ReplyDeleteHave you decided what you are doing for 2015? I have struggled reading on my own and may join again for accountability.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Blessings!
Oh Jan! Praying for you this sultry night in Texas. Dark and damp over here. And my own heart stands still in a little suffering. So, I'm stirred to pray for you and all that concerns you. Sometimes, I just wonder what is really going on. Convinced more than ever that even in all this suffering, God is moving to Good. Goodness wins. I put a little prayer band on my arm and will remember to pray for you this weekend. I won't take it off. Let us hear how you are doing. We care! Thank you for asking. We all need prayer---that's what the Bible said yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHey Michelle! I was wondering about you tonight! Then I saw this. Yes, I'll be here come 2015 cause I just can't stop doing this. I still feel like I'm reading the Bible for the first time. It is so alive to me. I'm in awe. And I'm in the midst of some super hard things for me. And I'm an example of nothing. I just cannot stop doing this---at this time. I'll be back every day next year. Still trying to think through a theme or something. I just love doing this Word of God that counsels me every day of my life. Would love for you to do it with me.
ReplyDeleteYes! See you soon.
