••DIG IN••
When Anxiety Hits. Or uncertainty appears. Depression falls. Or life’s drowning waves hit. I DIG IN. It’s never my feelings first response but always my souls greatest thirst.
Taking the Bible wherever you go is so easy now days! I’ve noticed when pieces of scripture are wrapped around my tongue yet not knowing it fully, it always helps to pull out the Bible app even Google for a better understanding and knowledge about the context. It’s “Easy” now days to have access to the Bible. But I feel that’s made us take it for granted. How often do we walk passed a bible. Yet share a verse on social media. We live through the verses of others instead of getting feed ourselves through the actual picking up the word of the Living God and reading it. The reason he’s A Living God is because he wants a thriving, loving, forgiving relationship with you. He’s not dead. And neither is that bible. It’s his breathe poured out for our life to be glorified by & through him.
My Why: My bible has collected many things. Tears. Important papers. Thoughts. Prayers. Praises. Big events. Famous preachers to hometown favs. It’s helped opening it up and looking at it all. No matter what my feelings are. The sense of knowing where I was last year or two months ago, even today. And what verses helped with this time in my life and what’s continually helping me now. Through some a long period of growth or others because strengthening was/is needed. I read because the most beneficial thing I can do while on this earth is read His word, and be as knowledgeable for when questions arise for a unbelievable. Or even for myself. By no means can I quote the whole bible probably not even half but I’m gonna spend what time left I have on this earth to daily Dig In. Five minutes or two hours.
What’s your why? And if you don’t have one, I highly encourage you to find “Your Why?” it will bring to you the reason you never pick it up or a why you never put it down.
“My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.”
Proverbs 3:1-8
