“You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways”

Isaiah 64:5

In one more day I will of completed my goal of reading the bible in a one year. Last year, at this time, I felt the call to lay my eyes on every page, paragraph, scripture and word found in God’s Word. Up until that point last year, I had a great appetite for God’s word, but I was being stirred in my Spirit, that for the most part, I was approaching God’s word like a buffet: only taking from the table the things that I wanted to eat. Plus, knowing that so much richness is found in between the pages, I always felt like I might be missing out on some good stuff. (You should know this about me, if there is some good and gain that God is handing out, I am going to push myself to the front of that line. Shamelessly. I will push.) I could feel in my Spirit that I was nutritionally starving myself because I kept driving through the “McDonalds” of the bible, rather than going to the farmers market of God’s word. Eating from the later takes more time, and some days you just don’t feel like doing the extra work of prepping, cleaning, chopping and cooking, but it always feeds the soul more than just a quick on the go meal. Some days I just didn’t want to read the assigned pages for me to read. I wanted to go where I wanted to go. But I kept remembering my call to commit to laying they eyes of my heart on every word He has spoken. So, some days reluctantly, I would belly up to the table of God’s word, one more time- pushing my way to the front of the line.

I can honestly say I have a NEW and deeper understanding of God’s love for me. For us.

Three major themes of the Gospel ring true after my year of study.

1. God relentlessly loves us, pursues us and wants to restore us and set us free. HIS LOVE really NEVER QUITS!
2. Even when we make the most disgusting mess of our lives, he is not offended. Call on him! And he will show up and help us clean up the mess. And He will keep showing up as long as you cry out to Him to save you. (and not your money, your friends, your body, your status….etc)
3. Grace is the most beautiful gift of all, because without it we ALL fall short of the goodness of God. And grace says “You’re mine. I have got it. You can trust me with your life. Let’s try this again.”

I don’t tell you this to puff myself up like some type of Ned Flanders of fitness. I share this with you because I am compelled to encourage you that NO MATTER what God is nudging you to do this year, you can do it! AND YOU WANT TO DO IT! Trust me on this. You want to do whatever it is He is leading you to do. But do not forget. HE is leading you. Many days, by the Spirit of God in me, HE had to pull me to the table to read His word, in the chapters I would rather not read. Our rather nots are our filthy rags. We all have them. But the obedient will rise up and say “As you wish Father.”

The obedient will rise and they shall be called blessed.

So with that being said, who’s ready to put down the sugar and pick up God’s great and sweeter love for you?

How to stick to a fitness goal is common question for many of you.

The answer…Stick like glue to your creator. That’s how!

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do NOTHING.

John 15:5
