Knock
Do you ever go through those times when you feel like God isn't speaking to you? Maybe its just me, but lately I haven't felt centered around God. I am still doing my quiet time every morning but The Word doesn't seem to be sinking in. Perhaps it is the fact that I'm not in the more direct books of the Bible; the Old testament requires more study for me. I would prefer to read Romans, James, and Corinthians everyday, but I know that I need to read the entire Word.
Is it that I am reading too much and not praying enough? Or am I reading too little and praying too much? Actually, I am doing too little of both.
I can't believe I am actually sitting here writing this when the answer is so obvious. I need to spend more time with God overall. In fact, while I have been doing my quiet time every morning, there are some days when it only last half an hour. Half an hour to get me through a whole day!? Starting today: more quiet time
I am going to meet Amanda from Green Tree this morning for coffee to discuss my spiritual gifts. I am totally excited. I just finished the class a few weeks ago and we are going to discuss how God can use me in the church. The class was interesting, but I have to confess that I think praying about my place in the church would be just as effective, if not more so, in finding my gifts.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." ~Mt. 7:7-8
I think this is going to be an interesting day for me.
