Prayer

How many times throughout our day do we tell someone that we will pray for them? And how many times do we actually take the time out of our busy day to stop what we are doing, sit down, and fulfill that promise that we made to them? With me? Not many. Usually I will casually through it around when someone asks for prayer but I never truly take it all that seriously. If someone is humble enough to ask you for prayer, you should pay attention to them and actually pray earnestly for them. Even if they don't ask for prayer yet you say you are going to be praying for them, you should keep to that and pray.
That is just another something that I've been thinking about lately. It is hard to do but I am working on it along with everything else. :)

Something I read a few days ago...

I was reading something in a daily devotional from missionaries around the world the other day and came across something that was pretty interesting. Basically it said that we shouldn't just read the Bible as something we have to do, but read it searching for what God has for us that day. It was pretty neat and exactly what I needed for that day. Last year I tried to read the Bible through with a plan my mom printed off the computer. I didn't succeed. :( So this year I am trying it again with a different plan that I think I like better...so far. Last years' plan skipped through the Bible. For example, on Monday I would read a couple chapters in Genesis and Tuesday I would be reading a couple chapters in Matthew. Anyway, I didn't like skipping around because I always forgot where I left off and such. So this year I am like going straight through the Bible, Genesis to Revelation. To be honest, it gets pretty boring reading about everything that happened with Moses and how they where delivered from Egypt and all the plagues, then about everything God told Moses about how to make the tabernacle...especially for the third time. So I was at that point in boringness when I read that thing out of the daily devotional.
