Verse of the Day
Hebrews 5: 11-14
11There is so much more we would like to say about this. But you don't seem to listen, so it's hard to make you understand. 12You have been Christians a long time now, and you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things a beginner must learn about the Scriptures.[c] You are like babies who drink only milk and cannot eat solid food. 13And a person who is living on milk isn't very far along in the Christian life and doesn't know much about doing what is right. 14Solid food is for those who are mature, who have trained themselves to recognize the difference between right and wrong and then do what is right.
I was reading this passage, just because I hadn't read the Bible in a couple of days. And I wasn't really thinking of anything much. Quietly inside me I thought, "Holy Spirit, do you have something for me today? Father, will you speak to me through this passage?" And sure enough, He did. It's amazing at how awesome God is. I wasn't even really trying, but my Father knew exactly what I needed.... a good kick in the butt. If you're like me and have recently been neglecting the Lord, let's pray together.
"Father.. please forgive me for my thoughtlessness. I have gotten so caught up with this world and have pushed you aside. I know that I should spend more time seeking after you and yet, my flesh is weak. Help me to be strong, to be more disciplined, and to focus on you more. For I know that when I do, life is always grand and I am at peace because of your awesome love. Thank you for your forgiveness and the sacrifice and grace you have given me. I love you Lord with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Amen."
