Stop asking. Start acting.

Today I asked myself, "When was the last time I got chills reading the Bible?  Is God's Word losing power, or is my heart losing purity?"

We spend so much time asking God to work in our lives, to give us passion, and to set us "on fire"- but there's nothing on God in it!  WE need to do what He requires of US.  WE need to take action. "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts you double-minded.  Be wretched and mourn and weep.  Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.  Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you."  (James 4:8-10, ESV)

BAM.

WE are the problem.  So, let's take action.

Rather than asking God to do stuff today, how 'bout we SHOW Him our desire for His work by confessing sin and pursuing His presence in prayer and meditation on His Word.  For more than six and a half minutes this time.

"You cannot study the Bible diligently and earnestly without being struck by an obvious fact- the whole matter of personal holiness is highly important to God." - A.W. Tozer
