Before beginning to write my testimony, I just sat, was still for a moment and prayed. Decided to also do my quiet time from the Daily Bread devotional book. I've been thinking more about whether I should use that as a guideline or just pick a book of the Bible to study like Megan does. Just do both? yea, I think so too...
Anyways, I was anticipating praying and doing the devotion will help me with my testimony and the direction I am trying to go with that. I glance at today's devotion from the book and the title is "Is Evolution A Fact? and the sentence that sums it up at the bottom says, "all creation points to the almighty creator"
My thoughts were, I know this already...how is it going to help me with my testimony?? How does or how can it even tie to it, what relevant thing can I get out of it to apply to my life for the testimony? I thought about just reading the devotion real quick and just skipping the Bible passages it tells you to read, but decided to go ahead and look it up. What the heck right...The passages were Genesis 2:1-7 and Hebrews 11:1-3.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
mmhmm!! to those two verses....
Also as I was flipping to Hebrews 11, I ran across Heb 12. Again, one of those moments when I intend to go to a particular passage and I end up stopping at something else that ends up speaking to me...All of Heb 12:1-12 but in particular...
Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix out eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of out faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
The question I've been asking myself (which I want to answer) while thinking about writing my testimony, has been, " what does it mean to live a life for Christ?"
Ok, back to Microsoft Word as I begin. Just wanted to jot down the awesomeness I came across before I started!
