*waves* - Trusting Him, Joie and many silent sisters!
Have been busy. Good busy... Haha. Just thought to share some thoughts from a book that my prayer partner and I are currently exploring. The section is titled 'Five good ways to tell if your walk with God is shallow'...
1. If you follow the Lord for only what He can do for you, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you love Him enough to ask what you can do for Him, then your r/s is growing deep.
2. If you only pray to God when things are tough or you need something, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you find yourself praying to Him many times a day just because you love to be in His presence, then your r/s is growing deep.
3. If you get mad at God or disappointed at Him when He doesn't do what you want, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you can praise God no matter what is happening in your life, then your r/s with Him is growing deep.
4. If you love God only because of what He does,then your walk with Him is shallow. If you love and revere Him for who He is, then your r/s with Him is growing deep.
5. If you think you have to beg God or twist His arm to get Him to answer your prayers, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you believe that God wants to answer the prayers you pray in line with His will, then your r/s with Him is growing deep.
Got me thinking and reflecting... They are quoted from 'The Power of A Praying Woman' by Stormie Omartian. I dont quite like the judgement on shallow, but I love the invitation to grow deep... Hope you will too. May we be the well rooted trees for our families and loved ones! Blessings!
