Choosing Jesus :)

The other day…I made a video…posted it yesterday. About waking up and not wanting to do my bible reading. I just didn’t feel like it. And I kept feeling the nudge to do something else instead… I LITERALLY had to battle myself and force myself to read. 

Now was it a HUGE  success because I read? Did God literally open the heavens and pour out fresh anointing because of my obedience? No. 

Could I have been disappointed? Yes…was I? No. Because obediecnce it about the heart and because God asks it of me…not because of what I can get in return. Cause ultimately it isn’t about me.

There are a small group of us going through the Lisa Trk bible study on Monday’s and last night we were talking about King Hezekiah…and how he started out by doing the right things but because he was blessed he then turned it into thinking that HE had something to do with his blessings. He became boastful, proud and super self centered. We chatted about the fact that this is common and relatable. 

I mean how many times have you tried to take credit for good things in your life that you KNOW God did? I know i’ve done it..I’ve got both hands raised right now cause I’m double guilty! 

It’s human nature to make things about ‘me’ instead of God or others. 

That is where choice comes in. The choice to choose reading yoru Bible even when you don’t feel like it. Even when the earth doesn’t shake or you feel emotional after reading. The choice to build your spiritual muscles through discipline even if you don’t hear form God right away or see the difference over night- just like any other muscle right? 

Hebrews 12:11 

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things
