The days go by so fast and I look back and realize I am overwhelmed. Some times life seems like it just passes me by. Thats when I think what have I really done today. Have I accomplished anything. Thats when it hits me I have not spent anytime with my Lord. I can go through the whole day and miss the purpose of it completely, because I am to caught up in the business of my own life. Here is my daily routine. I get up get dressed go to work...I leave work, teach voice lessons, get home, cook dinner, talk to my husband for an hour, get really tired and go to bed...And then the cycle starts all over again the next morning. Here is my intention every morning...Get up take a shower read and study the Bible maybe work out and go to work. What is it that makes me skip the most important step in the process? Even when I know it is the most important part of my day. I pass over it every day. I am ashamed. I am sorrowful. But most important I am just plain lazy Proverbs has a lot to say about being lazy....
Proverbs 19:15
15 Laziness brings on deep sleep,
and the shiftless man goes hungry.
Proverbs 12:24
24 Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in slave labor.
Wow, how the Lords words are so wise. I want to be done being lazy. I want to have self discipline and seek to pursue God's word everyday. Today I am standing up and saying enough is enough I need to change....If any one reads this please hold me accountable...I want to be strong in the Lord I want to know his words and understand His truths so that I am able to give a example to those who are lost for this is my prayer...
2 Peter 1.3-9
3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Hallelujah!
