The daily routine of listening to the Daily Audio Bible podcasts hasn't been consistent this week. In fact, I'm about 2 weeks behind in the devotionals. Because of this, I believe I'm 'drying up' spiritually. I'm also finding it more difficult to blog each night. I repent of not putting God first in my thoughts, or in the wise use of my time these past couple of weeks.
I do not doubt my salvation; Jesus is my Lord no matter what I end up doing [or not doing]. Eternal life is not merit based, nor given to 'good people'. Knowing this, I'm not shaken in my belief that I'll go to heaven when I pass away.
But soaking in The Word does make a difference in our daily lives on this earth. If I were to go without food or water for an extended time, my physical body would perish. Likewise, my spirit needs to be nourished if it is to remain healthy and thrive in this world.
"Lord Jesus, please grant me the discipline to continue the journey of hearing and meditating on your word each day. Please let the spiritual seeds that have already been planted in my soul come to fruition and let that harvest continue to bring me closer to you. In the end, all I need is you. Let everything that I've built up as an idol be torn down and put into their rightful places; take my time, family, finances and creative energies and use them all for your will. I trust you. I love you. Amen."
Good Night
