I just got the new Lecrae CD. PTL! (Praise the Lord) for those who don't know. I am so thankful for positive scriptural Godly music that uplifts us. So often we get stuck on that bad music that is SO catchy but talks about worldly things that take off focus off Christ and place it only things such as self-centered love, sex, drugs, violence, etc. Yall know what I'm talking about... THAT music.
God is Enough!
I am listening to one of the new songs right now... called... GOD IS ENOUGH. Surprise Surprise. The reason I capitalized Enough is because another way to say Enough is to say Jesus. Jesus is Enough. We don't need these worldly things. We need less of us and more of Christ! Think about our lives. Most of the time we think about ourselves which is emphasizing ourself and making God less. That is sin. Christ should be our center, our center focus. I think thats why reading the bible at the beginning of the day is so important. It puts Christ the center. Spending time with God is the first thing we do that day. It starts out day off with the right focus. I've really been pushing myself to wake up early to read my bible right when I get up. I can tell you, I am a morning person, but when it comes to losing 20 to 30 mins of sleep, I fail. But God has been gracious and has given me the strength to wake up early to spend time with him. I pray for the desire to read this word and understand it and how I can apply it to my life that day and bring him Glory every time before I read the Word.
I also found my journal of prayers and notes from last summer. Its really neat to look about over it and see how much I was growing and all the truths the Spirit was teaching me during that time. Seeing that growth gives me a spark of desire to learn and grow more, not for the sake of growing but knowing my God better and bringing him glory. I am so thankful for the growth I have already experienced this year through bible study, weekly RUF meetings, and my new friends this year and also current friends. I have asked for my girlfriends to pray for me. True prayer from my girlfriends. We need to be there for one another, especially godly women coming together and uplifting one another and encouraging one another through God's Word and genuine prayer. God is Enough! All the Praise and Glory to Christ!
I will rejoice in the Lord! PTL!
