How much time have you spent reading your Bible this past week? This has been a good week for me in terms of reading the Word - but every week is not like that. There are times when I either don't think about it, or just try to avoid it.
Some times particular chapters or verses speak strongly to me. The past few days, it has been Ephesians 4 and 5.
If you have not opened your Bible lately (or listened to it on your MP3 player), then try to spend some time there today. Open your heart and mind and let Him speak to you.
Amazing grace and eternal peace to you,
Bruce
O Holy God, write Your Word on the tablet of my life.
May it flood my heart and shine its light of truth into every dark corner of my conscience.
May it enlighten my eyes and be the filter through which I see all things.
May it fill my mind so that all my thoughts will be captive and obedient to Christ.
May it direct my steps into Your good, pleasing and perfect will.
May it guide my hands into the work of ministry.
May it guard the doorway of my life so that all of my comings and goings may pass under the scrutiny of Your divine wisdom.
May Your Word, O God; be the constant employer of my spirit, soul and body.
Amen

Hey Bruce, great prayer today. I'm thinking of pasting it inside the front page of my bible - to remind myself what reading God's word can look like, if only I approach it in the right frame of mind!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dan. It is a great prayer to say before opening the Word.
