I have started reading 2 Timothy. Here is what I have gained from the first chapter. I'm prayful that by fasting, I will be able to understand more clearly what He has to say to me. Also hoping the relationship between Him and I will become stronger.
Here is the message I got to me from Him when I read this. We should pray without stopping all day and all night. The first thing in the morning should be words to Him and the last thought should be prayers to Him. God has given each of us at least one gift. We should use it. Don't worry about what may happen or if something might go wrong. Don't be selfish. God has filled us with love and power, so what need have we to fear.
We should not be afraid of testimony of God. Be willing to tell others what you believe and why. Don' worry about how others might react or think of you. We are called to an amazing calling to do His will and meet His goals.
After all, Jesus abolished death.
I know who I believe and love. I claim Jesus as my best friend, my guardian, my leader. I know I can trust Him. He will come back for me.
Until that day, I will read, study, and cling to His Word. Everything He tells me, I place in my heart and cherish them. The Holy Spirit which God placed in me will help me to understand and follow His leading.
This is a place where I am study God's Word for myself. I am a bit of a historian so also including some research into the culture of the times and people that I come across as I read the Bible will be here too. This is just a way for me to share what I learn with others as well as feel like I am being held accountable for keeping up with my devotions. I am lazy by nature and need that small check and balance.
