Two things

A couple of Sundays ago, my pastor was ending his sermon for the day and mentioned that when he was in evangelism, during his invitation for salvation, he would say to the new coverts, there's two things that I want you to do. Number 1, start praying to God, create a prayer time for yourself. And then read you bible, if you are not sure where to read, start with the book of John.  As he said that God started to deal with my heart and mind.

Of course, this is a good thing to do for a new covert. especially after one is saved and has accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and trusted Him for redemption from sin. Yes, this is for the new convert. But what a friendly reminder for us too. Many times we become students of the bible and think we need a study pamphlet or devotional studies, which is good, but sometimes it's also about coming back to the basics, praying and reading your bible.  This spoke to me. For we all get busy in well-doing with work, family activities and our PC time (social media). We need to come back to personal time with Him. Then, doing this, will open up many other things that we should do for God. Doing the business of our Heavenly Father. Know ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Luke 2:49

The Children's bible song is appropriate here,

Read your bible, pray every day

pray everyday, pray everyday

pray every day,

And you will grow, grow grow.

Sometimes we forget lessons from our youth, but we ( and me) would do well to remember this one !!

song" Jesus paid it ALL, all to Him I owe, sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it wash as snow !! "

 For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved, for did not send His son to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved .

God Bless you friend, have a great day !!
