HOWEVER, in my easily distracted state it takes discipline to sit and soak.
What I have found is my heart is much more ready and my understanding is much more focused when I site and stare for a while before I begin.
Today, with my Christmas tree lit and everything ready for the holidays, I just sat and thanked God for the years of blessings that each ornament represented. I just sat and stared..
How the years have flown by...takes my breath away. He's an extraordinary God!
Once I calmed my mind I read and instantly knew why my soul cannot survive apart from His promises. I read the passage assuring that God only requires faith the size of a Mustard Seed. I find that terribly encouraging. I have that much faith even on a bad day.
I have heard several people say over the years ..."I'm just not ready yet to follow God, someday I will. I believe in Him though...I just don't know if I have that much faith" No one is able to 'get themselves' ready for God, He calls us - we have faith and believe.
His scripture is a lifeline - you HAVE to read to know Him. His words renew my faith.
Today, I am full simply because I started the day staring and thinking, reading and listening. So simple to be in Love with the Savior!
