I love to talk and to write and to express my point of view. I always try to do it with kindness and humility instead of with arrogance. I’m still learning to listen better to people with patience and compassion. And every day I’m still learning to listen to God and His still small voice speaking in and through my conscience.
The one most important thing that a human being can seek (Psalm 27:4) isn’t the pursuit of happiness, success, or busyness. It is to stay focused on the risen Lord Jesus, (Hebrews 12:2) awestruck by His inner His voice, (1 Kings 19:11-13) and surrendered to His will. (Luke 10:38-42)
Sin distracts us from true devotion to Christ. It causes us to settle for a little bit of religion (Isaiah 29:13) instead of daily self-denying, cross-bearing discipleship. (Luke 9:23)
Discipleship is a lifelong lifestyle, not something to do for a little while. It’s intensive unending training to listen to and obey God the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14) and the Bible throughout each day. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Never miss a day reading the Bible like a love letter from God to you and letting the words burn in your heart, Avoid reading it like a theology textbook.
Wake up your conscience
And train it to hear
What God is saying
In your inner ear.
Nobody’s all good.
Nobody’s all bad.
We’re all a mixture
Of God and of bad.
Let repentance begin.
Turn away from your sin.
Let Christ clean you within
And revive you again.
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
