The last few weeks have been a reality check of sorts...It came to my heart that it had been a while since I have read the Word...I am not able to attend church regularly as well as my womens bible study, both which I love so much. They caused me to read the Word.I was thirsty for it anyways. However during my days either recouperating or not feeling well in general steals one away from those things and the Word. Although I pray every day, throught the day, obviously reading the bible needs to be done as well. My life because of that recently lacked something...I cant really explain it...one who this has happened to knows what Im talking about. Also I see Joyce Meyer on TV which I watch every day...its kinda like my "church". Something she said convicted my heart. She has been studying the bible for 30 plus yrs..she talked about our need to be in the Word every day..anyways that convicted me. She is a teacher of the Word and I admire her (teaching being a passion of mine which I feel called to do) and the neccesity of doing so...dont I need to do the same? I immediately got out my bible and started reading. Now you would you think I would begin to be consistent, however do you think I stayed with that?. I pray and hope that I will continue, and in that quench my thirst. Will I? I am thirsty but will I drink? If I dont I will become parched...and we know what happens to a plant or tree when they are not watered..they die. Not that I will die physically but my spirit will...will it steer towards what He wants for my life? Wont it cause me to not do things I shouldnt, where in the past I had not felt convicted? I fear not, for not only am I parched, I dont want to wait until my mouth is dry. So goodbye for now, I have some reading to do, and some studying to do. I hope you will read the Word regularly, for you too will become parched as well. Only He has the water to quench that thirst..So go get a drink...hurry up though, you dont want to get parched. :)
