Free Time

How did you spend your free time today? You had many many choices of how to spend that time. Some watch TV. Some talked with a friend. Still others took a nap. (I love naps by the way.) Nothing wrong with any of these choices but I wonder how many followers of Christ chose to spend that free time in prayer or even reading God's word? We need to do both because that is where our strength as believers comes from. I will be the first to admit that I need to do a better job at both. We need that strength that comes by prayer and reading our Bibles. I read a report recently that said biblical literacy was at an all time low. This means that we aren't reading the word as we should and believe me, our enemy knows that. He is using our lack of study against us. From the beginning, that ole foe has used and twisted the word to fit his aganda. Satan used that command of God to Adam and Eve not to eat from that one tree, twisted it and used it to cause both to disobey God. Satan even tried to use a twisted word against Jesus but it didn't work. You see, Jesus knew the word. He knew what it said and He knew what it meant because He wrote it. Therein lays the issue. By not reading the word, we don't know the word and it can be easily twisted and cause us to mess up. Don't let that happen to you! Tonight, reach over and pick up your Bible or click on that unused Bible app on your phone and read. It may be just one verse, just read. Let that word sink into your mind and your soul. Let it give you strength that you need to overcome the tricks of Satan.
