Conviction of the Day - avoiding God

Okay, so being honest again... last week, I haven't really been doing my bible study homework everyday. And you know, it really shows in my life during that week. And don't you find it interesting that my blog posts in that week doesn't really have convictions of sin?

It's so strange. After you have come to know God, you will know if you're not walking with Him. It's not to say that you have to do bible study everyday. But I know where my heart was. And it was not in the right place. I was avoiding the study. I was avoiding God. And it actually made my week very uncomfortable because part of me wants to do bible study and part of me doesn't. So the struggle was definitely there and it ended up with me feeling not settled and just uncomfortable overall. If only I just allotted some time to do the bible study, then I wouldn't feel bad and probably would have a good week and learn something about God and my relationship with Him. Isn't it interesting that we become lazy and want to use that 30 min of our time for "something else" and then it turned out that if we instead use that time for God, it would make our day go better and also accomplish the "something else"?

This week was better. Since I had this conviction last week, I started my study again this week. It does make a difference. My life is full because it is filled with God. How? By the renewing of my mind by studying His Word.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2)

Thank You LORD!!! You are good!!! You are an amazing God - worthy to be praised!!!!! Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!!!
