A day in the life

A day in the life…
Well, today none of the guys got up to work out and neither did I, it was a bit discouraging at first because I thought that I had failed. But then I remembered God doesn’t care when I spend my time with Him; He just desires to be a priority in my life. So I then realized this was not a bad thing but a good one, I now had a chance to show God that He was important to me not my routine.
So, today we had like one of the best speakers we have had maybe ever come and speak. He was a prison minister, in Montana and was really on fire and super real! He spoke on how if God is willing to forgive people like; child molesters, murderers, and people who have stolen. Than we really have no choice but to forgive them and accept them when they come into the family of God.
Other than the speaker, I have just gotten done with my devos and today the Lord has impressed a couple of questions on my heart. 1. What gods am I following today? 2. As Jesus stated in Luke 11:17 no kingdom can be divided and survive. So am I divided in my heart? Cause if I am than there is no way I will make it.
Also in Luke 12:36 Jesus states that if your whole body is full of light and no part is dark, you will be completely lighted. Now, I have to ask myself am I completely light? But a better question is can I be? Well, in my opinion no I cannot, at least on earth. So as I read this I need not be discouraged because I cannot be all light. I can be encouraged because I can spend my whole life seeking and learning to become a brighter light.

All in all this was a great day, I had my first test to see if I was doing my devos out of habit or because I desired to do them and spend time with my Saviour.

My prayer for today is that I would not be divided in my heart, that I would not say one thing and then do another. I pray that I seek God’s help in order not to set up those false gods that we so often do. And finally to check my reasons once again why I am doing what I am doing. I want to be a real Christian who really wants to seek Christ and what He has for me today!
