We were not made to worry

Situations come to our mind.... not for us to worry and fret, but to PRAY and to PLAN.... and to trust.  We were not made for worry.

WASHING WITH THE WORD

A habit that I started a few months ago... that has brought great results in my life.... is giving more place in my liffe to the God's Word.  

I am always looking for easier ways to do things in my life.. and this is one practice that has done that for me.  

Sleeping.  I usually keep white noise in my earbuds when I sleep.  I work nights and sleep days... So this practice keep things consistent for me.    

But.. I have added listening to the Bible with the white noise.  It is amazing the peace and cleansing that takes place continually in my soul because of this practice.  

The very first Bible verse I ever memorized was Joshua 1:8

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

This verse has proven so true and accurate in my life...  And now... after all these years... I can look back and see that giving attention to God's word has brought great succes in my life... (of course.. if you read any of my posts.. you know my #1 focus is a vibrant and practical relationship with God's Holy Spirit).  It takes both to live the life that The Father desires for us to live.  If you want more info on how to have that relationship with the Holy Spirit... please message me. 

Some additional points about frequent use of the bible.

Jesus said, Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you (John 15:3)

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Psalm 119: 9

So... the practical side of listening to this word... You can do it anytime of course... While you sleep... getting up and getting ready for your day... Driving... etc....
