Many of you know that over the last couple of years I have sort of put my faith on hold... well, thats not exactly right, I didn't forsake God or stop caring about serving and obeying Him, I have just been kind of gliding so to speak.
Well, these last few weeks I have been more proactive in my faith and relationship with God by reading large amounts of His word and communing with the Holy Spirit on a scriptural level more than I have in a long while.
I started out by reading James, I read it 5 times in a 5 day period of time and then I moved onto 1 Peter and have agreed to read it 8 times this week, I am on my 5th read though today and I am loving it.
When we step back and let the Holy Spirit do what He does best (convict and teach us God's Word) we can start to see the power of living life in the Kingdom of God.
One of my favorite realities to this day is seen in a very real way during the creation account in Genesis where we see that when God speaks he creates, in his breath and words are the power to create! That is amazing, I need to be reminded of the the power of Gods word on a consistent basis.
If we want to change, if we want to see God's power unleashed in our lives and the lives of the people around us we need to allow Him to speak through the scriptures.
"All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be fully equipped for every good work." - 2Tim 3:16
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart". - Heb 4:12
