Ok, so I know I am a little behind. It has been a crazy week. Tuesday hubby was sick and unable to go to work so i had to drive his work truck in so it could be looked at by a mechanic then had to ride with his boss to go pick it back up (all on 4 hours of sleep) and then yesterday I had to go take my Glucose Tolerance Test for baby Zoey. When I got back I taped off her room to finish painting then mom and I went to lunch.
Here are a few quotes from the devotional from day two that really struck me:
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith. (1 Peter 1:5, NIV)Add goodness.(v. 5) Do what you know to be right.Add knowledge. (v. 5) Study the word. Pray without ceasing.Add self-control. (v. 6) Control your will and operate in the Spirit.Add perseverance. (v. 6) See His tasks through, even when it's hard.Add godliness. (v. 6) Let others know to Whom you belong in your conduct.Add mutual affection and love. (v. 7) Give your time, talents and lives for others.
Why is it so easy for us to forget to do this? Why is it so simple to get caught up in the things of this world rather than to live like we are commanded to live?
We found out yesterday that my parents bought a new (to them) car and are going to sell us their old one for a very, very discounted price. No sooner had I found out that wonderful news than I began to worry about other things. I began to worry about Zoey's health because I read online about another lady who hadn't felt as much movement of her baby and was worried which made a red flag pop up in my head (for no real reason. I don't think I've really felt a decrease in movement just the power of suggestion). I began to worry about other things that I have no control over. Worrying about them doesn't show godliness. It doesn't show others whom we belong to.
"God is bigger than the boogy man and He's watching out for you and me!" This simple Veggie Tales song is so true. Maybe it would do some good for me to remember it every now and then!
