I launched my new book Spiritual Training 101: Preparing for Eternity on Tuesday. We had a wonderful time of laughs, music and fellowship. These are the things God calls us to do; share our gifts and talents with those around us so they may see His glory shine through. Matthew 5:16 Tells us to, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (NKJV) I am excited that God has blessed our family with the gifts and talents He has and that we can do skits, share the Word and sing His praises. Thank you Lord.
God has given us all a purpose and wants for us to fulfill it. One of those things for me is to write. This book is a Bible study taking the reader on a journey with the Lord to grow in their faith and spiritual discipline. Please understand that it was a struggle for me by times because I did not just record these things, but God lead me through each one. Jesus held my hand and wiped my tears as I reached beyond myself and had faith that He would be with me. Growth is never an easy thing, but He has promised to be with us always.
Preparation is something we do for every aspect of our lives, so why not for our eternal life? It is the most important thing so shouldn't we take it more seriously and make spiritual training an essential, daily part of our lives? Spending time in His presence and pouring our hearts out to Him draws us closer and into a deep, personal relationship. That is what His desire is. John 3:16-17 say it best, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (NKJV)
Have you answered the call to His voice? Are you ready to take a leap in faith? What do you have to lose?
