It has been one full week! On Tuesday, my baby girl had her two month checkup and received some immunizations. My teenage son also had a checkup the same day. Then Wednesday, my husband had some major dental work done. Yesterday, I ran some errands in the afternoon. Then today, my son went to spend the weekend with his cousin. My husband and daughter took my son to meet his cousin this evening. While they were gone, my baby girl and I went to my husband’s parent’s house to have dinner with them. Whew! That’s a lot for this girl! I didn’t get much exercise in this week. And I’ve not done all the posts I normally do in a week on both my blogs.
I am one girl who has done some battling in my mind. And it seems that for some reason these past two weeks, I’ve had some moments where I felt the enemy was attacking me in my thoughts. Maybe the attacks are because of me beginning this new study on the book Lies Women Believe. I know the enemy does not like to be exposed and he sure does not like for people to break free from his chains of lies and bondage. Anyway, if you’ve read my testimony on my website, then you will know that I’ve had to battle fear. In fact, at one time it was a stronghold. Praise the Lord, for God has brought me great freedom in that area. Yet, the enemy still tries to attack me in my thoughts in this area at times. These past two weeks, I’ve been having to really work hard at times in taking some thoughts captive and making them obedient to Christ.
Yesterday, while in the shower, I told God I wanted him to just consume my thoughts. And in my spirit, I heard God tell me “Consume my Word.” Now, let me say that I didn’t hear an audible voice. It was heard in my spirit. So I have pondered on this last night and today. “Consume my Word.” How do I do that Father? How does that play out in a given day? Obviously, I cannot sit and read the Bible all day long. So as I’ve thought about this, I am realizing that for right now, I of course am to do the things that I need to do each day. But in the free times that I have (which aren’t many) I need to be reading God’s Word – both reading the Bible and working on Bible memorizations. I feel like I need to put all the other Christian books aside that I am reading except for Lies Women Believe. I am still doing that study. I truly believe that this study is in God’s timing and that God is using it big time!
Therefore, I may or may not do all of my regular posts throughout the week. I definitely will be doing the Lies Women Believe book study posts of course. But all the other ones may take a back seat for now. As God shows me things in His Word and teaches me, I may share them with you. I am excited! I can’t wait to see what God will show me through His Word. And most importantly, how He is going to consume my thoughts through me consuming His Word!
