Bible

My bible is one I have had since 2005 and is a Mom's devotional bible, it has all kinds of great devotionals geared toward moms.  It has lots of marked pages and papers stuffed in places that I want to remember, but today as I was spending time with God I had a thought.  


When I finished I zipped my Bible cover up and put it on the night stand so it would be there for tomorrow.  As I did this I wondered is this how I see God and his word?  Something that I can just pull out for my obligatory "time" and then zip it up and walk away until tomorrow?  


We are so blessed to have a book that talks to us of God's love and everything we need to know about how to live a God like life, but we are so wasteful and take it for granted.  So whatever you study in your time with God carry it with you through out the day and remind yourself of the words God shared with you.  My prayer comes from Psalms 51 and is what I long for in my quest to live a life for my God.  


"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalms 51:10-12
