Don't Forget

Reading: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=numbers%209:4-12&version=NIV

I don't really think the reading goes alot with what I am going to talk about, but my lesson made me think of this. It told me to pick something that would make me remember to praise God throughout my day, like a picture or some friends or a rock that I had found. It made me think about how I don't take enough time everyday to really thank God for what He has done in my life. My life is very hectic and very stressful and I'm always on the go. However, whenever I am in my car, it is ALWAYS on k-love. The music on there is so uplifting and they always have something positive to say. I have decided to make a poster that I am going to hang on my ceiling that says, "PRAISE GOD." I normally fall asleep praying every night, but I find myself not talking to God when I first wake up. So hopefully this poster will make me think to do that. God does so much for me during the day, and I do not give Him nearly the credit He deserves. I pray before a quiz or test, just something simple like, "God, I know I can do this, please help me through this," but other times I don't. God deserves so much more glory than we give Him. One of my favorite verses is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17, "Be joyful always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances for this is Gods plan for you through Christ our Lord." It says to give thanks in ALL circumstances, not just sometimes when we feel like if we are pleading for Gods help. We need to pray CONTINUALLY, not just when we go to bed or get up, but we need to constantly be in tune with God. Another thing I think about, which I am very guilty for is, if we opened our Bible as much as we do facebook or our texts, what a better person we would be. I am trying so hard to make time for God more often in my day. I am constantly checking my messages all the time. The least I can do is spend 10 minutes in my Bible everyday.
