From the journal of Pearl Jeannette Holman
On the Lord's day we have the ordinances of: Preaching, United Prayer and Praise. It keeps us occupied.
But we need to search our hearts and ask if our hearts are in all this or if we are only going through the motions?
We are close to God when we are in solitude...How do you feel toward God when you are alone with Him?
Do we do all the talking?
Are we filled with pride and think we're doing Him a favor by praying?
Are we listening to the Holy Spirit?
We need to let our hearts be the temple in whom Holy silence, and His voice is heard.
We are to rest in God...Then God will say to our heart, This is my rest, here I will dwell.
I John 2:28 And now little children, abide in Him, that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
If we will prayerfully consider taking a journey through God's Word as revealed in Psalm 119, we will find a purposeful path.
As we learn to develop spiritual disciplines of: Reading, Studying, Meditating, Memorizing, Praying, and Seeking, Repentance, Obedience, Suffering, Celebration, (Rejoicing and Praising), Testifying, and Journaling, we will gradually become a reflection of Christ Jesus Himself.
Psalm 119:18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.
It is to be with Him, and we read it all the days of our life so that we may learn to revere the Lord our God and follow carefully all the words of His law and His desires.
Deuteronomy 17:19 And it shall be with Him, and He shall read therein all the days of His life that He may learn to fear the Lord His God to keep all the words of this law and these statutes to do them.
- Study the verse
- Meditate on the verse
- Pray through the verse
- Repentance
- Ask: Is the Lord asking me to do something in this verse
- Begin immediately to be obedient
We do our part and God will do His.
Jesus said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God! Matthew 4:4
God spoke the word...and it was so....When trials come speak the word of God!
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God! Romans 10:17
