Less Reading, More Praying
I am not perfect. There are virtues I lack and vices I excel at. My first reaction to a new found area of sinfulness in my life is often to buy a book on that area of sin. Having realized some major areas of impatience in my life, I have resolved to pray that God will help me overcome that and give me opportunities to be patient. I have often heard people say, "Go to the throne before you go to the phone", and I think that applies to books, too. I already have the book, the one book that I need. The book that tells me to be patient, and tells me that God is patient with me, and shows me how Jesus was patient when He interacted with others. I need to spend time asking God to help me to JUST DO IT every day.
Great reminder. I often find lots to do before I have some serious time with the Lord. What a backward way of life.
