Taking My Faith Seriously

-
About a year and a half ago, I got to the point that I wanted to take my faith (trust in Yeshua; belief) seriously. I wanted to live the Bible, the Word of God. I wanted to not just say it but actually do it. This meant some fast, hard changes.

The taking my faith seriously came in stages. 

First, I saw what I did wrongly and tried to correct that.

Second, I got rid of the things in my life that had no place being part of my life... the things that did not align with what the Word of God (The Bible) says.

Third, I got to searching the Scriptures and reading the Bible for myself and not reading a study Bible or commentary. I went straight to Adonai (God) and saw what He really said and what it meant. And I tried to do what He told me to do in the Word and not do the things He said not to do. 

The only thing is, this could sound easy. It isn't. It has required a lot of hard work every single day.

Confessions of a Bible-nut

-
So I have another confession. I am a nut. With my favorite translation of the Bible. I am a walking storefront of my favorite version of the Bible. Want to see what possibilities there are? I have a thinline, medium print, large print, and giant print. The main Bible I have chosen, though, is the thinline, smaller print version because it is easy for me to carry and pace as I pray from it. It's also easy for me to carry it everywhere.

Do not be silent (at certain times)

-
There are times to be silent, like when we are with the Father. We need to listen far more than we speak. We miss out on much when we fail to hush and listen. (Sidenote: And isn't it funny/sad how we can say then how we are concerned because we haven't heard from the Lord?) However, there are times when we must not remain silent. Please read: Esther 4:14 Isaiah 62:1
