Just do it!

A good friend of mine asked me over dinner last night "How can I have a closer walk with God?" Isn't that an awesome quesiton?

How about you--have you ever wondered that? Let me give my standard answer...it works for me and I believe it will work for you.

(Don't worry...I am not going to try to dictate what a closer walk with God looks like...I am trying to discover that for myself.)

I always tell people, "Find out what causes you to fall in love with Jesus and do it a lot." With some people it is reading the Bible...that's what it is with me...I love to read the Bible...there are times when I feel as if God is speaking directly to me from His Word.

For others it might be prayer...you can feel the presence of God & Him rocking your world when you pray. This isn't me...I can't pay attention for long periods of time. Many times my prayer times will go like this, "God, thank you for today...wow--the carpet is dirty..." I seriously used to think that I was not spiritual because I can not pray for long periods of time...until I discovered that we are not all wired the same spiritually...and that is ok!

(Please do not misunderstand...I do pray...it is just that I pray a lot throughout the day and my prayer times in the mornings are not always very long.)

For some of you it might be singing...THIS IS DEFINITELY ME...if that is it for you, then do it a lot. Get in your car today--go for a drive and sing your heart out. (Please be aware that people in cars next to you will stare...this is ok!!! I get busted singing at the top of my lungs with the windows down EVERYDAY!!!)

I had a lady once tell me she felt the closest to God when she went shopping. Uh, I am not sure about this one...I haven't been able to find a Biblical reference for it. I guess she prays a lot when she shops, "God, should I buy this..."

My challenge today--whatever brings you the closest to God--do it...no one has ever been worse off because of more God time!
