This morning I decided to read my Bible. Saying that sounds weird, I mean it is a Sunday and I am a Christian, so why am I posting about reading my Bible, something I should be doing everyday?
For that very reason...I don't read my Bible everyday. I'm not sure why, because every time I open it I close it feeling refreshed. I close it with a sense of worth, with hope. I should open it more.
But today I opened it and read James 4. James is a great book. Short and concise, but every to the point. It talked about asking God. Asking him about the things that we want, need etc. But along with asking comes the response. And sometimes we don't get the response we want, sometimes we don't get one at all. That couldn't be more true for me. I'm not getting a response from the thing I ask God for. It goes on to say that I am not receiving because I ask with the wrong intent. Well shoot...
How do you know what the right intent is? I think that's what we should pray about. Pray that we have the right intentions when we come to Him asking for something.
That's what I need to work on.
Until later,
the explorer
