DAILY DISCIPLINE #1
By Colleen Donahue
2 Chronicles 12:14 "And he did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord."
Once we have set ourselves on a course of seeking God there is no such thing as neutral. We are either advancing or retreating. Our verse refers to King Reheboam who ended up doing evil because he was not going forward. Going forward with God is not unlike any other relationship. It requires a daily discipline of communicating. God shares His thoughts with us through His Word and we share our thoughts with Him in prayer.
The Bible is God's Word to you and is full of instruction for your life. Do not be overwhelmed by its vast contents but rather begin to absorb bite size pieces into your spirit. The Daily Discipline Studies will contain suggestions for where to begin. I suggest that you read in the morning before you are faced with the pressures of the day. A few minutes invested in God's Word will bring new vision and peace into your day.
Why not begin your studies by discovering the book of PROVERBS. It's conveniently divided into 31 chapters allowing for one chapter to be read each day. It is one of the finest books I know of for practical advice for you and your family. It is so full of insight that you'll want to continue this monthly cycle of rereading ........
