Good Morning and welcome to the first Living Room Ministry of the New year. What a beautiful morning, I spent my morning like I do each
morning – with coffee and email. But this morning something new was added,
reading a chapter of my bible. Although I do read it, it just usually isn’t in
the morning. It’s usually in the afternoon or late evening. But this morning I
sunk my teeth into John 1. For a while I had / have been trying to find my
faith again. After school started and got busy I kind left out reading my bible
before heading to class. And looking back now- it showed. I was worried about
grades, my day, my eating habits everything. But being in the Word helped to
keep me grounded when I did read it.
AS I look back it reminds me of the scripture, in Romans 12:2 “do not be transformed of this
world…” And here I was doing just that. Letting the world take hold and
following its lead instead of my fathers and Jesus, who made everything were
not his ways better and easier. “Matt 11 28-29 Come to me all who are weary and
burdened and I will give you rest. Take
my yoke for it is light…” That was me, I was weary trying to do things
on my own. Where had I gone of the path
leading to Jesus and gone my own way? But with the starting of the year, and my
break from school I took some time off from everything and “rested. Took a step
back and prayed to God for help in restoration. Although those weren’t my words
as I cried out but that was my hope. That God would show me the way back to Him
and His path. And He did!!!! I am now again reading my bible and letting him
lead the way again.( although I do find myself slipping, but I am holding on tight to His hand and His
Word).
Let’s pray
Father God, Thank you for restoring me back to seeing You
are the only way to go and in you is the only way to be. Forgive me forfalling
away and going astray Thank you for being faithful and loving as you gently
guide me back to where you want me to be,
