Get a grip!

There are five steps that I use to secure God's Word in my life. When I am consistent in doing these five things God's Word gets a grip on my heart, as I get a grip on His Word!

Memorize - Memorize the Word consistently and manned with a plan! Psalm 119:11; Romans 12:2

Meditate - Chew on the Word and ponder its meaning. Psalm 1:2-3

Mobilize- Prove the Word true in your life by doing what it says! James 1:22

Mark- Keep a journal of how God has marked your life through His Word. Jeremiah 15:16

Momentum- Review often what God has done through persistent review. (Review a verse for 100 days!) Hebrews 2:1;

I will be sharing more about how to live these steps out in the days ahead. Remember that it is all about knowing God, allowing Him to change you through that knowledge and then sharing Him with others.

In His Grip!

My Life's in Storage!

I recently came to the realization that all my worldly possessions now dwell in a 10 foot by 30 foot by 10 foot storage unit. We sold our home, put all of our things in storage and are living in a friends condo in the transition. As I sit here I am surrounded by someone else's "stuff" and I often feel misplaced! It is amazing how attached we become to our possessions. The scripture says that our lives are not made up of our possessions, however, in this world we are defined by them. Matthew 6:19 - 21 says, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there will your heart be also." I am learning to hold loosely the things of this world and hold tightly the things of heaven. That is why I am passionately storing up God's Word in my heart and mind. I do not want to be defined by what I own materially, but what I possess spiritually. I am storing up treasures of heaven in my heart. My life is in storage because my life does consists of what I have treasured or stored in my heart. I am praying that it shows outwardly - "for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart." Luke 6:45
