My Lesson of the Week

I believe I blogged about trying to get my relationship and faith in the Lord back to where it was years ago. If I didn't blog about it I know I posted it onn facebook lol. Anyways, I have been through many trials since I started...well...trials for me anyways and I have definitely seen an increase in my faith. The past two weeks have been really stressful for me and I really had problems just giving it to the Lord. It's not that I didn't want to, I just couldn't leave it alone. In my daily calender readings I have...it just kept saying day after day about if we read God's word enough, it will sink in with us and we will be able to use it to rebuke the enemy's lies. After reading day after day about the importance of God's word and how it can help us I knew I needed to get back in my bible. This week I have made sure to make time to read my bible and it's already helping. I have been able to let go of the majority of my worry for now and I am leaning on God's promise that He will never leave nor forsake us no matter what the situation. I want to encourage you to start reading your bible if you've been like me and just let it go. I know more than anybody probably how every day life keeps you so busy you just don't feel like reading. I am not a reader anyways so reading is a very hard thing for me to do. The good thing is, you don't have to spend hours upon hours reading, start small and eventually you may end up reading hours upon hours. Right now I am doing the bible in a year plan. I have started this many years ago,but I ended up quitting. I just picked up where I left off. This week I have been in Psalms 63-65. I am glad I started there because I love the Psalms. A lady I work with has a bible study group and they are doing the read a bible in a year thing. They meet each week to talk about the things they learned that week through scripture and they also are motivators to each other for when they want to give up reading. I think that is a really great thing to have because it is very easy to give up reading. If you have any motivational tips on how to keep reading the bible when you feel like giving up I would love to hear it.
