I was on Psalm 119 this evening, I opened my bible, saw it was 176 verses and wrote down that I was going to read it tomorrow. I thought to myself...there is no way that I am reading all of those verses right now.
As soon as I saw there were 176 verses there was also a part of me that told me I need to read that tonight.
Here I am...sitting here having a boxing match in my head about what I should do.
I knew that voice in my head that told me to read it was the Holy Spirit...and the voice that told me just to put it off was my worldly self. I am a really big believer that when you do something you don't want to do at all, and then do it, you're going to be fulfilled. (when it comes to your faith and work ethic) There are things I don't want to do all the time that I don't need to do.
Let me ask you this question. How many times have you felt like you should read your bible and you don't you feel like it?
It's probably 90% of the time. It's something we have to go out of our way to do. It's usually not on everyones 'to do list.'
Here I am...sitting here writing this post about a small decision that lead to me being fulfilled. Psalm 119 is incredible, and it really was awesome to read, but I believe what I got out of tonight is to listen to the voice in your head telling you what is really right to do. The voice that often goes against your own agenda...
Do what you don't feel like doing and you'll reap the rewards. Take the away from this post tonight.
The 10 extra minutes it took to read Psalm 119 was all it took for me to be sitting here feeling extremely fulfilled and grateful for the word of God. 10 minutes of MY time given to God and I can't put it into words how I feel.
How much time are you willing to give to feel fulfilled? Because you don't have to give that much. God is so good!!!
I write for one reason, and that is to encourage others, give perspective, and get people excited about their faith.
