It has been a long time again since my last blog entry, I have had several very busy months, yet not too busy to be in my Bible each day. God has been continuing to speak to me and teach me as I spend time in His word.
I have many verses that I would like to share from the past few months, therefore it is kind of difficult to know where to begin today. As I browsed through my journal this verse stood out to me.
"Sow with a view to righteousness,
Reap in accordance with kindness;
Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the LORD
Until He comes to rain righteousness on you."
Hosea 10:12
When I read this verse it reminded me that what we do and how we do it matter; we need to intentionally live our lives in a way that serves God's purpose and brings Him honor.
I tend to get complacent with life and get caught up in taking care of the needs of my family that I forget that I need to use my time for God and His glory. I also feel kind of irrelevant or insignificant in God's plan because I feel so small; but God does not want me to be discouraged as if I have nothing to offer. As Christians we are called to be actively seeking opportunities to share our faith in Christ with those around us, and God has gifted and equipped each of us uniquely.
Sometimes it is tempting to want to crawl into hibernation and not deal with 'one more thing'. Though we are in the fall season and heading into winter, we are not to hibernate, we need to still be sowing, reaping and breaking up the fallow ground for the Lord, for it is ALWAYS time to seek the Lord!
Be blessed,
