Beloved–
I can’t tell you how many times I started to say something (or thought something) that was stopped short by the memory of the WORD.
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might sin against you. Psm 119 nlt
Take control of what I say, O Lord. and guard my lips. Psm 141 nlt (It is put more succinctly in Spanish) O Lord don’t let me say, not even, one stupid thing.
My first attempts at daily Bible reading were hit and miss. There were times when I just couldn’t find a minute; kids, laundry, meals, work, just not enough time. Frustrated and ready to quit, I had one more thought (sure it was all mine) I would read the Bible first thing, I would only do it for 5 minutes. From that time forward I was able to see a way to better schedule my day. I just needed to set my priorities.
I pray for you daily to set your priorities on the WORD.
Luv Ya!
