It's been a while...

Well, I said that I was going to do this everyday for a year and that has not happened... so, I'll start again and admit that I'll miss a day or two every now and then. However, I will be totally honest and tell you the days I spend time with the Lord and the days I don't (nothing like accountability).

I've had some great time with the Lord over the past couple of months and today was another one!

I read from 1 Samuel 1-2.

Eli was a faithful priest but his sons were worthless. They took from the Israelites sacrifices to the Lord before the sacrifices were made. This was not smart! Even when Eli talked to his sons about it they were unrepentant. So, the Lord removed Eli's family from the priesthood and raised up another... Samuel.

Even though Eli was a devote man, his lack of action in regards to his sons wrong doing that caused his downfall.

We can all learn from this... we cannot turn a blind eye to wrongdoing when it is within our control to put a stop to it. Especially when it is the Lord who is being wronged!

May I never turn a deaf ear or a blind eye to wrongdoing, but instead may I take action and be obedient to You Lord!

I'm Nate and this is what I think is essential.

Spent time in Hebrews 8-10 today.

God spoke to me about the covenant that Christ fulfilled.

I'm feeling sick...

I'm Nate and this is what I think is essential.

2/17/10

Today I spent time reading Hebrew 11 and Matthew 7.

God spoke to me about living a life of faith and not simply holding to a profession of faith.

May I never hold to a profession, may I keep the faith!

I'm Nate and this is what I think is essential.

2/16/10

Today, I read repeatedly from Genesis 4 and Hebrews 11.

God spoke to me about the condition of Cain's heart toward God in worship and how it reflected the condition of his heart toward his brother (man).

May the condition of my heart never grow cold toward You, Lord. May my heart never grow cold towards man either.

I'm Nate and this is what I think is essential.

2/15/10

Today is my son's 4th birthday!

I read Psalm 117 & 118.

God spoke to me about His enduring love!

May I reflect on His enduring love everyday!

I'm Nate and this is what I think is essential.
