Have you served Yourself up a full serving of the Word today??????

4:13 Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak, 4:14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 4:15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

You know when I go out to eat and you tell me that you are going to bring me steak and potataoes, I EXPECT STEAK AND POTATOES!!! not tofu steak and cous cous. You see If you bought me less than what I expected I'd be dissapointed to say the least.So why is it that we say we love God and are devoted to him and still shortchange him?????  I asked myself that just a few minutes ago. You see during the day I always have this nagging feeling in my gut. It's that feeling that says somthing aint right Ber ber!!! Usually I confuse that feeling with a need to fill my belly, but thats usually not the answer so the nagging continues. So I proceed to tune out whatever is going on around me and ask God hey, whats going on with me man???? and then it hits me.
 Low and behold I havent spent enough time with God today. I'm seeking out Comfort in all types of other things. Food, Friends, work. You fill in the blank with your's. So here's the issue folks. God misses us terribly during those in between times when we put him on the backburner and fill our day up with other things. It's like inviting friends over to your house and then walking out the door and leaving them there. You love them, wanna be with them, they help you, yet your always tooooo busy.Then before you know it your up Struggling creak with half a paddle.Why?? Because you left God behind.My Bible says to make the most out of every opportunity because the the days are evil and that I should not be foolish but understand what the lords will is. Ladies and Gents,How can I if I'm not putting him on the tippity top of my list?? Can you?? So I have repented. Instead of reaching for a bagel or calling up a sister I read my word. It's saisfying and nurtures my relationship with God without the Drama or the calories.

Food for thought(the bible really does feed ur brain You should try some Now!!!!) Berniece
5:15 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 5:16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 5:17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 5:18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 5:19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 5:20 giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

its really hard for someone my age to stay strong in the word....people my age tend to get distracted rather easily. wut ive found helpful is getting some one to do it with me. its easier to study with somene else rather than alone. please keep me in your prayers so that i may grow in the word.
