Getting Ahead.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

I didn't read my churches devotional for the Advent season. However, I am reading it in the lent season. You may think that I am behind rather than ahead. Since, my devotional went unread.

Everyday we make a choice. To go through the day thinking about God and his love, mercy and grace in our lives or we can go about it all self absorbed. When I connect with God my soul is one step closer to my Savior then I was a minute before I read and prayed. So when I get over being self absorbed with my time I get ahead with my life with Christ. For he is never apart from me...it is I who drift away from him.

Help me my Lord to strive after righteousness, to daily open your word and pray. Amen
