BUT AS FOR ME
Today's reading: Psalm 72-74
"But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do." Psalm 73:28 NLT
Where is it you have drawn a line in the sand in regards to your Christian growth?
What is your 'no matter what' discipline?
Do others know that even if nothing else gets done, you will have done _____?
It is those 'but as for me' statements that will grow our faith, draw us closer to the Lord and build up stepping stones that lead from one level of righteousness to the next.
You've gotta have them.
You have to have some firm boundaries in place in order that you will achieve personal growth in the Lord.
'But as for me' may look like...
-I won't open up Facebook until I've read in my Bible.
-I won't pick up my phone until I've spent some time in prayer.
-I won't let a day go by that I don't jot down something I'm grateful to God for.
-I won't miss an opportunity to worship the Lord with my brothers and sister in Christ.
Set some goals for your spiritual growth. Determine a few things you will do each and every day in order to be nearer to the Lord. Start with baby steps--and watch how the Lord chooses to bless them!
