EAT, PRAY, LOVE


I am not referring to the bestselling book - EAT, PRAY, LOVE
I am talking about staying disciplined in life practices that God has set in motion for me. I must follow Dr. Jesus' regimen.
I am adjusting to changes going on all around me. Things like:
My schedule.
Kids back to school.
Season change. Even if Fall is beautiful. Many changes come with a new season.
My time with God has changed.
I need to remember God's plan:
EAT, PRAY, LOVE
Blessings to you all. I get the feeling many of you can identify with this regimen and I will pray that your life practices (they usually are essential for thriving) be set in motion and time spent with the Lord be constant.
I am reminded of the time (Matt. 14:25-31) the apostles were in a boat, Jesus walked on water to them. The apostles were terrified they thought they were seeing a ghost. Jesus told them not to be afraid, take courage, for it was Him. Peter wasn't sure so he said "If that is you tell me to come to you." Jesus said "Come." Peter walked on water to Jesus. The wind picks up, Peter sinks and yells out "Jesus save me." Jesus grabs hold of him and says "You of little faith." They get in the boat and the wind dies down.

I was thinking about the fact that right before this happened the miracle of feeding over 5000 people occurred.They ate, Peter asked, they got in the boat and all was back to love.
Eat up God's word.
Pray God's word.
Love with God's word.
We all have our moments like Peter. Give yourself a break today and rest and be reassured that God is always there for us even if we doubt or let life circumstance control us rather than letting God be in control.
