I just now getting to write this entry over a sermon that I heard about 3 weeks ago. During the sermon, the preacher gave me an idea. He kind of gave an outline about what he did to keep overflowing with the Holy Spirit so I thought I would share in more details what I did for myself to keep me in step with the Holy Spirit too. The preacher's steps were for everyone so they weren't that personal. They were like: a moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, and so on.
Here is my personal things that I do to keep overflowing with the Holy Spirit:
-Have a daily verse calendar that I look at every morning.
-Sometimes I do devos. in the morning for like 15 to 20 mins.
-Listen to Christian songs while I'm getting ready in the mornings.
-During my hour break, I take a walk outside and just look at God's Creation around
me.
-After work, sometimes if I have a Bible study, I would come home and do that for
about 30 mins. to a hour.
-Before I go to bed, that is when I talk to God.
What I need to get better at:
-Talking to God throughout my day whether it is asking for helping or thanking Him.
-Remembering and reciting the verses or thoughts that I read in the morning throughout
the day.
-Talking about God to other people.
-Focusing my thoughts on God and nothing else. That one seems to go back and forth for
me. Some days I would do fine and then it would go back to my mind on other things.
Those are just some of the things that I need to get better at. I know there are a lot more things that I could do to make my life all for God but that is all I can think about right now. I want my list of things that keep me overflowing with the Holy Spirit to be longer then it is. I want the things I need to get better at to move up to the other list. I think if I can do those things, maybe some of my worries will be gone and I can be happier and stay that way for more then a month. I know I could stop going back and forth on it for sure.
"Today is a blank page. Yes, there are some things that need to be written in, and you could surrender your pen to them, letting events, exceptions, tests, and the judgements of others write this chapter. Or, you could take some time with God, that author and completer of your Faith and start writing today as the adventure He shows you it can be."-Rob Coscia "My heart is overflowing with a good theme as I recite my composition for the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer."- Psalm 45:1
