His love. His Word.

Hi everyone! I hope you all have had a great beginning to your week. These past few days have been crazy with school and one thing I'm learning is that Jesus is at the midst of our crazy schedules. We might not even realize it until the end of the day when we get in the bed ad instantly start to reflect on all that we've done. We look back and realize "wow that was a total God thing, He kept me, provided for me, saved me." I've also found that God is found in some of the smallest of things. For example  two really awesome things have happened this week. Yesterday my roommates and I went grocery shopping and we walked to the store (terrible idea) we thought it would be easy but we didn't realize the serious struggle of holding 20 pound bags and walking a few miles back to campus. Needless to say we were struggling just to make it out of Target with the bags. So we just began praying "Jesus please send someone to give us a ride back to campus." As we were praying a woman drives up , roles down her window and offers us a ride. It was amazing and my roommates and I just went completely crazy and praised Jesus like there was no tomorrow. It was such a a little thing but a huge blessing God is so faithful! The other day I was in the library for 5 hours. It was awful, but God gave me the perseverance and strength I needed to complete my assignments and in return glorify Him. While I was working I was listening to music and the lyrics that came through my ears were "You gave me life You gave me the Holy Ghost, You put Your word in my heart and that I love the most." Those lyrics just sank into my spirit and I began to feel the love and presence of God right in the middle of the library. It never fails to amaze me that God puts His word in our broken sinful hearts and repairs them with His love. The Bible is sacred and  I think sometimes we can forget that. Reading God's word is vital. It teaches, convicts, guides, and allows us to encounter God in a deeper way. Some of us have heard this over and over that The Bible is more than just words on a page, but it can honestly never be said enough. God's Word is alive and active. It is a weapon against the enemy and forces of this world. We need it. I know that sometimes it can be difficult to read the bible everyday but we must make it a habit. God doesn't expect us to do it on our own so let our prayer be that God makes us hungry for Him, His Word and truth. We are washed and transformed by reading the Word. We are strengthens and encouraged as we read the promises of God and are filled with His Spirit. Let God's Word be the foundation of everything you believe and do. My prayer is that God's Word is so deeply rooted in you and I that it overflows out of our hearts and into the lives of everyone around us. We are the aroma of Christ and God wants to plant on hearts the beauty of His unfailing Word. Love you guys! "Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." - Psalm 119:105
