In today's world, and any time in history for that matter, it's imperative that we gain wisdom.  Not the type of wisdom that you get in the colleges, or the local coffee shop, but the kind that the biblical Word, combined with the Holy Spirit living in your heart, teaches.  

One thing I know for sure in this daily journey is that each day I have to push back my flesh and many days force feed myself the Word of God.  And I mean force feed.  I'm not going to play the excuse that I am legalistic if I feel like I have to get into the word each day...It's my lifeline.  One day without it and I'm living my fleshly life out in thoughts and deed. 

I'm an honest Christian.  I'm very vulnerable.  Very dependent on Christ to lead me.  There's is no doubt that my life reflects my need for Christ, Every. Single. Day.  I'm not one of those Christians that can say, look at me, I have it all together.  I'm the one that says, "Look at Him, He Never Changes"!

I need that steadfastness.  I crave it.  

I think of what the world would be like if we not only knew the word, but lived it.  I mean really lived it, like it was a normal part of our lives.  Can you imagine what the world would be like?

We ready the Bible tonight and I couldn't help but notice that God chastises those He loves.  Like Adam and Eve for instance.  After they got past the blame game and throwing each other under the bus, they confessed to God what had happened and what they had done.  God wasn't shy with the chastisement of their disobedience.  I mean not only did Adam and Eve get punished, but we are all still getting punished...but forgiveness was in God's forefront.  Although they were cast out of the garden, for their own good, God covered their nakedness and shame and immediately informed them of His plan to sacrifice His only Son for their sin and ours.

I'm not afraid of discipline, God's discipline.  I've been disciplined through anger and also through love.  There's a difference.  I don't run around telling people not to judge me, nor do I pick out all the love verses in the bible and throw out all the rest...I embrace it all, knowing there are times I need correction, and times I need His comfort and love.

Don't miss a single one, they are all worth it.  Keep growing in His knowledge each day.

We all wait for it, every year, anticipating the new year to start a new chapter in our lives, a new page, new goals and this time we are going to stick with them!

And then January 1st slowly passes and we slowly loose sight of our goals once again.

But there's always next year right?  Or, better yet, there's today.  

Today....

Let's take the time to live in it, for it, only dealing with each second, like a watchman, keeping care not to miss any moments.  And I mean any...like zero.  Not a breath, not a cry, not a pain, not a sorrow, not a whisper, not a glance, not a smile, not a tear, not a need, none. Period.  We only have 24 hours and we tend to sleep for 8 of them, so let's be intentional about making each moment count. 

Let's turn them into #GodMoments 

We have this ridiculous ritual that we think that we have to be completely perfect when we come to Christ.  Let's give ourselves some breathing room and just simply come.  I mean seriously.  Let's just show up.  Let's tell God that this day is His.  All of it, every single second, intentional about each scent in the air and every noise in our ear.  About what we are allowing to enter into our minds, ears and eyes and what is coming out of our hearts and mouths.

Let's let the world go, all the advertisements, the political banters, the Hollywood movies, the fame, the fortune, the troubles, the temptations, and the religious organization. The world will take care of itself, as we take care of our spiritual health.  #GodMoments

We can't change the world, but we can allow God to change us.  When God changes you, your atmosphere changes.

But Ang, there will still be troubles....

Of course there will, we aren't in heaven, we are on earth and on earth, troubles will remain.  But we will offer hope, as we will walk this life out, through Christ, fully dependent on His Ways, His Word and His Will.  Today...

Just Today.
