Encouragement

Hello there!

I just wanted to give a little dose of encouragement for the day.

For those of you who have a hard time reading the Bible and really having a set schedule of doing it, here's a boost that might help you create a daily habit of it...

About a month ago, I went to this awesome conference and the preacher said this and it completely rocked my daily walk with the Lord.

He said, "Every time you open the Word of God, that's your face-to-face encounter with the Lord."

When he said that, my jaw dropped to the ground.

I mean I've heard that said before, in a way, but when he said that it just opened my eyes.

It is SUCH a privilege to be able to have a face-to-face encounter with our LIVING Savior!

When we have that as our mindset, it will be so much easier to read the Word (in my opinion).

Pastor Matt Anzivino of my incredible church, Raleigh Assembly of God, said this last week in his sermon...

"We need to quit reading the Bible as the history of what Jesus used to do, but read it as the outline of what He wants to do!"

Isn't that just so powerful???

I will leave you with this amazing verse:

"Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another-showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us."

2 Timothy 3: 16-17 (The Message)

Allow the Word of God to put you together and shape you up for whatever task you might have today.
