Meditation Monday

Meditation Update!!! Last week, my scripture was Psalms 34:1 " I will bless the Lord at ALL times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth." I was led to that scripture because lately I have been very ungrateful. Earlier this year God has helped Jason and I through a rough patch. During that time, or the storm as I like to call it, I grew closer to God. I got up early and prayed and God was my complete focus. Now that my family is doing better, I have not being praying or seeking God like I was earlier and I have been complaining a lot. This scripture has changed my attitude. For an example, when I want to complain about cleaning the house, I now say, " Thank you God for blessing me with a house to clean," or if I want to complain about Jason working all the time, I will say," Thank-you God for providing Jason with a job." I am not completely where I want to be, but I know this will help me.

The scripture I am going to meditate on this week is, "Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law and they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."

BTW: I love how God works! He is so AWESOME!! Earlier in this week, I received literature from Insight for Living about a new program that helps with scripture memorization. The program is called, Scripture for Practical Christian Living: 40 Verses for Spiritual Growth—Insight’s Scripture Memory Program. It includes a CD and memory cards. Here is the link to their website: http://www.insight.org/
