Spiritual Well Being
Thursday, June 24, 2010
I'm going to take a side road this evening. I have been focusing on physical health for most of my blog. Tonight I want to share what I think is the most important part of living a healthy life, spiritual well being. I went to my weekly Bible study tonight and began reflecting on the importance of having a healthy and loving relationship with our Creator. Our life cannot be truly healthy without this relationship being right. When our life is crazy and out of control it is so important to know that our loving Heavenly Father is there for us no matter what. Tonight we studied about being like children before the Lord. We can educate ourselves so much that we can "think" ourselves to be spiritually sound. It is only when we truly trust God, like little babies trust their mothers, that we can really experience the relationship that we are designed to have. We are so bombarded these days by this crazy media driven world that we tend to forget the importance of this relationship. God wants us to be like children. We don't have to be the most knowledgeable about the scripture in order for God to love us. He loves us when we can realize that we need His mercy and grace! He wants us to need Him and call to Him for help. My goal for this week is to become more like a child in my relationship with God. I pray that we all understand the importance of this relationship. Nothing else should come in the way of our time with God.

Thank you for your post. It was inspiring, and reminded me to focus on what is most important. We get so "caught up on this crazy media driven world" (loved how you phrased it), we tend to loose focus, and feel that we are in charge. When we are really God's children, and we need to be still, putting our faith in him.
Thank you again for sharing your faith,

Thought I could add to what you posted about your bible study time. My lesson for last week talked about how people these days pray about their control with God. For example, if I put some money in this offering plate, then all my debt on my credit card will disapper. Another example, let me put a Christian bumper sticker on the car and then I won't have any more wrecks. Isn't it amazing that we look for ways to work in our own will, not relying on his first. (Even though we know his is best?)
