My goal of this week is to read the Bible every night before I go to sleep. Honestly for me it's a big challenge to spend quiet time with God on a daily basis.
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.(Psalm 119:105)"
The word of God is like a lamp that leads me to make decisions in my life. It is like using a flashlight to walk in the dark; you use it to watch the steps you take. God's word is also like a light that gives me directions. It is like a lighthouse that projects the light to guide ships from far distances.
Last night I happened to see this verse on the calendar: "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (Thessalonians 5:18)" I was thinking in my mind...ALL circumstances, which includes good things and bad things. Then I went to bed. God's word is powerful! This morning on the way to work, the traffic was horrible and at the moment when I was about to lose patience and start to feel annoyed, this verse came to me. GIVE THANKS!!! Then I gave thanks to God for being able to be on time the other day when I had an important meeting. Even though I was 25 minutes late, my heart was grateful and full of joy. ^____^
