Our second child just joined us Monday morning, and it has been a truly amazing experience finally getting to meet him, hold him, and see the miracle of life coming into this world.
As we were up in the night last night I was reminded of something I saw a friend post when they had a baby a year or so ago. When Steve Hinderhoffer's son was born I remember him posting about "Taking Back The Night" and praying for peoples' needs and other things while he was up in the night with his baby. I remember spending time praying and memorizing scripture when I was up in the night with our daughter, and it was amazing to see the how that blessed others, myself, and my daughter. What better way to enjoy those wee hours of the morning with your child, praying over them, memorizing scripture, blessing them, and blessing others.
Joshua 1:8 says "Keep this book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
The new Law is righteousness through Jesus Christ, and the bountiful riches of God's Kingdom are available to us as a result of His sacrifice for us, and our faith in Him. Let's commit to spending those little moments of time during the day when we are walking, driving, working out, trying to fall asleep, or up in the night with a baby, meditating on the truth of God's Word, and see the abundant life that results.
Is scripture memory for everyone?
Whether it takes you one day or one month to memorize a verse, I guarantee you will find a depth in your faith you have never known, and see God's Kingdom pour out in your life like you have never experienced as a result of your commitment and discipline to hiding God's word in your heart. If you don't know where to start, try the Navigators Topical Memory Resource (click here). That is where I started 10 years ago, and my life has never been the same since.
Abundance can come from the smallest amounts of time.....
