Day 18
This morning my day did not get off to a great start. Nothing in particular happened, just general frustrations of life. So as I have this sense of irritation, I’m thinking to myself, how do I get into prayer and Bible study? What do you do on those days when you’re feeling ill and anything but spiritual? As I open my Bible, just not feeling it, I see God’s word and am reminded of how powerful it is. I’m reminded that this is His way of speaking to me and I really need to hear His voice on days like this. As I read through just a few verses of scripture, I begin to notice the edge in my attitude melting away and I ask God to lead me to what He has for me today. It’s amazing how just a few minutes with the Lord can give an attitude adjustment even more powerful than when my mom would give me the eye. And that’s pretty powerful!
In John 14:27 Jesus says “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” The world can’t give us the peace that comes with knowing Jesus. So when you don’t feel like spending time with the Lord, just remember the Nike slogan ‘Just Do It’! It sums it up better than anything I can say. I’m glad I did this morning. Now I’m ready for the world. Bring it on!
