Ep. 15: Prioritizing God's Word When Life is Busy

As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ not one of us would desire to remain a babe in the faith.  We all desire to grow more in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by osmosis – you have to be disciplined in putting God’s truth in your mind.  Spending time with the Lord in His Word will transform our hearts and compel us to obey God’s Word. As we grow in our understanding of God’s Word we will develop convictions that will determine how we will live or how we hope to live.  God’s Word helps us to develop principles that we desire to live our lives by – this is the process of sanctification. “Sanctification is a process – the process of becoming more like Christ, of growing in holiness. This process begins the instant you are converted and will not end until you meet Jesus face-to-face. Sanctification is about our own choices and behavior. It involves work.  Empowered by God’s Spirit, we strive. We fight sin. We study Scripture and pray, even when we don’t feel like it. We flee temptation. We press on; we run hard in the pursuit of holiness. And as we become more and more sanctified, the power of the gospel conforms us more and more closely, with ever-increasing clarity, to the image of Jesus Christ.” ~C.J. Mahaney Growing spiritually is the most important step in our role as Christian wives and mothers.  I do not have true wisdom to offer my family because true wisdom comes from the Lord and knowledge of Him.   I know what you’re going to say – I barely have time to breath how am I going to fit in time with the Lord.   Stick with me here today because I’m hoping I have some tips that will motivate you or at least seem doable that you can work into your current season of life.
