WOW. Talk about a wakeup call.
No wonder, when I used to read the bible, that I really couldn't understand what was being said.
What worries me now is that I am just regurgitating what a preacher has said. I don't want to just repeat what I've heard. I want it to become so ingrained in me that it becomes part of me.
I want to start producing fruit. Last night a preacher was saying that 'fruit' is attitude. Galations 5:22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.
I get so tired of failing everytime an opportunity comes to me. Like the time the couple were upset when they felt we took their parking spot. Or, the times the girl at work drives me insane with her lack of work ethic and her constant typing to her friends.
Yesterday I saw one of those signs on Facebook that mentioned the only way we can continue to grow in wisdom is if we continue to stay in the word of God. If we stop reading/learning/experiencing - then we stagnate.
The other thing that I keep forgetting: Last night on the way home I was ranting (in my head) about stupid people, mean people, ignorant people. "We act as if 'these people' who oppose us are beyond God's reach." Focus on the Family Jim just said this. 2 Timothy 3 talks about the end times and about how people will belittle, etc., but the part that is the scariest speaks of the people who 'act' religious.
I SOOOOOOO need the Holy Spirit to do His work within me. My heart and soul is so black and so full of hate and malice and anger and WHY? I AM one of those ignorant angry people.
head on desk
Another thing (sorry) but Dr. McGee was talking about how a king consulted doctors about his feet but didn't consult God about the disease and then he went to rest with his fathers. I don't ask God to heal me because I think He will if He wants to - but after hearing that story - perhaps I should be!!!
One of these days I hope I do get some wisdom.
