Ok so some of my listeners, especially the committed ones, may be wondering why I am Podcasting so many messages in these days that are either from the bible, as in reading the bible text without chapter and verse and of course leaving out any commentary that I am tempted to include. I am not sure other than to say that this is my 12-months of studying. Yup I have put behind me over 210 books since February of this year and I blame God for every line I read. I don’t but listen many of you know in listening to my testimony that I am not a reader. Ha, I don’t like to be still. And yes but no I cannot drive and read very well so I don’t do that either.
Because of this reading, I get a lot of relevant messages. They are relevant because I am not reading just whatever I want but what I am led to read. It just so happens that they are teaching stuff that we need to hear today in this very last hour.
My goal is to read 365 books in 365 days, and why should you care? Because I believe anything worth doing is worth setting goals so that you do not get derailed. I track what I read so that I do not lose track. Ha, it also motivates me to continue in this very sedentary activity.
Ha you say I don’t need no stinkin’ goals, and but, I say that it has been my experience that a goaless person is like a ship without a rudder, and more often than not, no like way more often than not, when I ask these people what they want to be when they grow up, None, Nadda, Nill have any idea. Keep in mind we are talking about those who profess to be born again and connected to the god who says nothing is impossible for those who believe. Now this is true unless you really don’t believe. If you are not doing as it pertains to the precise calling of God for your very specific life, then you don’t believe. You see it doesn’t matter what you say but what you do, and but of course if you are doing, then you can say what you are doing, and your life in God lines up perfectly and your saying will also line up with what God wants you to say. Now doesn’t this behavior sound like a ship without a rudder? Of course, because these people think that things will work themselves out just the way they are supposed to. But I say that I have a scripture that tells us the heavy consequences of ignoring the obvious:
Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
