I know for me, that its easy to get distracted by other things on your to do list.
You know, doing school work, checking your e-mail, cleaning the house, and so forth.
As a matter of fact, I recently moved from Florida to Alabama with my family, and let me tell you, there were a lot of things on my to do list that distracted me from my time spent with God.
Weather it was unpacking boxes in my room, the kitchen, the bathroom, hanging pictures, organizing, helping my mom unpack, the list goes on! I had it in my head that I wanted to be unpacked before church on Sunday morning. It didn't take but a couple of days until I was so hurried and tired, that I began to become anxious and irritated with every thing around me.
Don't do what I did, remember to set aside time in your day for God, put Him first, don't let the world rob you of this precious time, to be spent with your Heavenly Father, the most fulfilling relationship in life.
It was amazing how much relief I felt when I put God first on my "To Do List". : )
2.Choose God's ways at every opportunity.
In all you ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.- Proverbs 3:6
Consult with God regarding your every decision, word, thought, and response.
Ask God what He would have you to do, think or say.
Not only will this give you relief, but it also will give you a peace knowing that He's in control and will take care of you. God is there to help just ask of Him: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him." ~James 5:1
God's way is the best way. =)
3.Commit yourself to God daily.
We should spend time each day, learning more about God through His word, that way we know how to follow Him better. Making this Commit will bless you tremendously! However, we shouldn't just make this commitment for the blessings, but because this is our reasonable service. You should want to read His word and pray because you love Him.
"I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."~Romans 12:1
4. Lastly Cultivate a hot heart.
We are to be hot-hearted. This means that the heat of your heart and emotions reaches a high temperature.
Our heart should be filled with excitement, activity, emotion, and passion for God.
Don't be embarrassed to talk about God, read you bible, or pray because your scared of what others will think. If you have the right company
they will respect you and hopefully be hot-heart too! =)
I hope this chapter encouraged you, as much as it did me to start a journey learning how to be a Woman After God's Own heart! I'm so excited to share my thoughts with you and I hope you will share yours with me, please leave a comment. I would love to hear what you have to say!
Also, I want to just say thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Lord willing I hope to post more on this inspiring book! =)
