Prioritizing.

Joshua 1:8 "Study this Book of the Law continually.
Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it.
Only then will you succeed.
"


After dinner, it's easy for me to slip my sweats on and spend the rest of my night checking facebook, browsing through blogs, and catching up on my favorite tv episodes on hulu.
But it's hard for me to make time to sit, clear my mind, and meditate on God's word.
Sure, I can read my bible or read over a quick daily devotional, but doing thorough devotions and spending a significant amount of time in prayer has, unfortunately, not been a daily pursuit of mine.

God says in Jos.1:8 that Joshua should continually be meditating on his word. Now, we might not be able to spend our entire day reading the bible, but surely we can spend our days working to develop a deeper relationship with God {through worship, prayer, devotions, etc.}.


Here are some goals for this week:
-Pick out activities in my schedule that are unnecessary
-Cut back or give up these activities
-Learn to replace these activities with ones that bring me closer to God
-Come up with reminders to keep praying a priority
-Ideas for unique ways to do devotions


{Through The Bible In One Year Update: Currently Reading Exodus 30}

Praise for the Day: A loving family to spend Valentine's Day with.

  1. I am going to make a priority list too.
    Because I'm a copy cat. And you're such a genius.
