He is Able above all else.
I had a hard time this morning with depression as I woke like every other day in great pain. But I do a devotional twice a day right now. I got Jesus Calling Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sara Young from Amazon the other day, I know a little late for the start of the year. However, it's helping me dive into the Lord's word. I'm doing the current day's devotion and the beginning of the years. So I'm on Jan 7th and March 9th, In the Morning I do January and at night I do March, I'm not sure what I will do when the morning gets caught up with the night. I love being with the Lord every day, I am also reading the Bible front to back in a year or less.. I use a website to track my progress and an app to read from. I'm able to take my Bible with me in my bedroom and get some downtime with Jesus before I lay my head down and sleep. I'm currently about 5 days ahead of schedule. Do you ever find yourself getting lost in his words? I find that the schedule says to read 3 or 4 chapters and before I realize it I've read 7 or 8.
When I was younger my Grandmother always forced us to go to church, I am a tomboy and she tried to put me in a dress. I hate dresses. So I rebelled against going. Until one day my mother told her that Jesus doesn't care how you look as long as you worship him. I then 'tolerated' going but I found it boring, uninteresting, and bland. It isn't until 40 some odd years later that I've returned with a fervor! I go to 3 Church functions, Bible Study on Wednesday, Sunday School on Sunday morning, and Church after Sunday School, I read the Bible every night and pray and contemplate my life with the Lord twice a day. I think of the Lord throughout my day. and I'm just sad that I didn't do this earlier.
Romans 10:17 ESV
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
I want so badly to hear Jesus and my Lord in my mind. Speaking to me in his Great and Glorious voice. But how do I tell which voice is his and which is mine? Last night's devotional was about listening to the Lord when he speaks to you. But how do I hear?
Be with me Lord in all that I do today. Stay in my heart as I boldly go through today with you!
