"Being Reminded"

I find myself being consumed with everything going on in my personal life that I often overlook the need to be fed by the word of God. This is not something that I am proud of, in fact, I often have to remind myself to slow down and make the time. A friend of mine recently reminded me that I have been neglecting this Blog.

Today in church we talked about "the deceiver" and it hit me that Satan has been preoccupying my time. I am in no way trying to make excuses for failing to have my daily time in the word of God, just realized that we all need to be reminded from time to time that we must make the time to reflect in the wisdom and awesome love that God gives us.

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."John 7:37-38 (NIV)
John 7:37-38 gives us hope that even though the deceiver will try to make our paths cloudy, all who believes in Jesus will be shown the path.

  1. Thanks for the reminder. I think we all need to be reminded often. This busy world, and all in it, can come between us and between the relationship that we might otherwise have with our God. Thanks you for posting, Rocky. Blessings and peace to you!
