Lately I haven’t been feeling very close to God, so I decided to do something about it. Instead of continuing to distance myself from the Big Man Upstairs, I have chosen to wake up at 6:30 in the morning, before the rest of the house, and read my Bible. And not only read my Bible, but pray.

We’ve been studying the Book of James in my Bible study and this past week we were working with chapter 4. A verse that has been jumping out at me is:

James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

God has promised to be there for us at a moments notice. All we have to do ask.

If we are not seeking God then we are seeking the ways of the world and that’s going to lead us down a path of sin. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather live in God’s favor, than in the sinful path of the Enemy. I want to live an eternal life with Jesus and my Christian brothers and sisters.

So my plan is to get up at 6:30 everyday for a week (baby steps) and read my Bible, as well as pray. I’ve managed to get up the past two days, so I’m doing great so far. It has actually been easier than I thought. Especially when my husband announces, “It’s 6:30!” when I’m in the middle of a deep sleep. That’ll do it for anyone! {Thanks Honey}

Are you Saved? Because I hope to see all my friends, family, and bloggy friends in Heaven!
