Summertime & the Livin' is Easy!
Well, summer has finally made its appearance! With that comes less schedules, no homework, and mornings aren't so early.....the kids are home, the house is messier & because there is no schedules, our routines have been interupted!
Enjoy the summer heat (the sun & the pools), but don't leave Jesus out of it! What can happen with the "loss" of schedule, is that Jesus gets put on hold until we "fall" into routine again.
Here are some gentle reminders as we head into summer:
1) Spend time daily with the Lord~carve out a regular time (the routine is beneficial) to listen to Jesus & get into His Word. Invite His Holy Spirit to come & meet with you. For the summer, go through the Psalms or the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John).
Mark 1:35 tells us that Jesus withdrew to quiet places to spend time with His Father.
"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed."
2) Memorizing scripture~As you are going through the Living Word, write out scriptures that "jump" off the page. Write them on notecards & bring them with you to the pool or gym or keep them in the car, so you can be meditating on them. "Chew" on the scripture. Go over it in your mind & let the Words of Truth transform your mind.
Psalm 119:11 "I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You."
Psalm 119: 15 "I meditate on Your precepts and consider Your ways."
Psalm 119:97 "Oh, how I love Your law! I meditate on it all day long."
3) Journaling~ Grab a journal when you are heading off to the pool and share your thoughts with the Lord. Listen to what He is telling you & record it. Regular journaling reminds us of God's faithfulness~as we pour our heart out to Him, we can see how He answers us when we call on His name!
Psalm 34:17 "The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them."
*A thankful journal is a good place to begin if journaling is new to you. Write out 5 things that you are thankful for each day. This keeps you in an attitude of thankfulness before the Lord.
I Thessalonians 5:18 "Give thanks in all circumstances..."
4) Getting together with the body of Christ~There is encouragement that comes from the body of Christ; as we gather together and share what the Lord is doing among us. Make church a priority in the week.
Hebrews 10:25 "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another~and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
Summer offers us a time of refreshment and it brings life to the body. May the Lord increase your understanding of who He is this summer & transform you through and through as you press into Him.
Here is one of my favorite verses that I found this winter. I believe that the Lord put it in His Word for me! :) "Light is sweet and it pleases the eyes to see the sun." Ecc. 11:7
This summer, search His Word for a scripture that was placed there just for you! :)
