So a week or so ago my pastor was preaching on what is you could heard God more clearly. I was so excited about hearing some great secret and was to be honest disappointed with the content, it was about Bible reading. Now his message was life changing but why did my heart sink when I heard "read your Bible to hear from God"?
So he went on to talk about how daily bible reading is a great way to hear from God, which I total agree with! But as I was in service I was thinking about when, going over my daily schedule and found part of my problem...at midnight might work, right?! So as I thought there beginning to feel frustrated, I hear a soft voice saying this is between you and Me.
Wow I have spent 30 some years felling frustrated, guilty, or undeserving and just now understand that Bible reading is not some magic formula.
As I continued my conversation with God I realized that right now, in this season of my life, one day a week really trying to hear from God in my Bible reading time is much better than hours a day doing out of guilt or with a must do this attitude. Not to say that this may not change in the future but for now I am going to live in His grace and find time to read His word once a week. (Monday during my daughter's quiet time).
