There’s Light to See Your Mission
Life without a mission feels meaningless. Without a purpose boredom and discouragement set in. Is there a reason that you’re here on earth? Yes!
How’s your appetite for the presence of God. Do you hunger and thirst to taste and see that the Lord is good? Do you draw near to God and press toward the mark of His high calling day and night? Or are you content to coast along though life and be distracted from Him?
Rank yourself on a scale from one to 10. 1) Your spiritual hunger is satisfied by attending a Sunday morning church service now and then. 10) You’re as hungry for God as someone who has been held underwater until they are about to pass out, is hungry for air? What’s your number? Is God happy with that number?
Secondhand Bible information won’t make you hungry. Firsthand Bible inspiration that burns in your heart will! Read it, ponder it, and savor it for yourself. Don’t just hear it filtered, processed, and presented through the mind of a preacher or a writer. Flesh and blood can’t reveal God’s word to you, but God can and will! Let God the Holy Spirit lead you as you read the Bible and directly teach you what it means. Let Him light it up with the brightness of His light shining in your heart.
Let the words of the Bible
Go directly to your heart.
You don’t need a middleman
To explain it secondhand.
The Holy Spirit Himself
Will help you to understand.
Let the Bible
Work directly
Inside of you,
Unfiltered by
Other people.
Let it show you
What to say
And what to do.
(1 Thessalonians 2:13)
When you pray
Make it two-way.
God will hear
What you say
But will you hear
What God will say?
Make the choice
To listen for His
Still, small voice.
Shine, Jesus, shine,
In this heart of mine.
Illuminate
The Bible’s words
So they radiate
Your presence
Within me!
