Committment

I am making a commitment with my husband to write down my reflections of my daily devotions, whether it be on this blog or somewhere else. I'm doing this, because when I don't write down the lessons and corrections that I learn from Scripture, I forget about it in a week. Just like the man described in James 1:22-25:

22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

Lord, I do not want to be this man who forgets his own face. I do not want to merely be a convinced intellectual of the gospel's "logic," or a fruitless professor of faith. I desire to be a lover, worshipper, and treasurer of Jesus Christ.

Starting today, I hope to build discipline... I really pray, Lord, give me eyes to see the unseen, and a heart and mind that worships and delights and meditates on You day and night. Let your Spirit display Himself in my life, in my secret thoughts, intentions, and hidden actions. Lord, teach me.
