Tuesday is typically a writing day for secular things. However, I’ve been focusing only on God for August. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays all month have been about formatting, arranging and editing. This morning, I could do some of that, but another tug has been pulling at my heart.
One of the things I’ve noticed about successfully growing online presences is they put something out constantly. I haven’t done that. I’ve also viewed my writing for God as something of a chore, a task to be accomplished and checked off so I can get to other things. Well, those other things haven’t been holding the fascination they used to, nor have they been remarkably successful either. Enter dedicating August to God.
My dedication hasn’t been as dedicated as I’d like, but it has been exclusory, which has been successful. Change is often neither smooth nor immediate. What August has been, is reinforcing and I may have to make September more of the same. However, I’m still looking for spiritual road signs to that effect. I have taken on a few other things just for me like reading Oswald Chamber’s My Utmost for His Highest every morning first thing. I picked up not one but three more pocket sized Bibles, because I have a weakness for a new Bible that I cannot explain.
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew 6:31–34 (KJV 1900)
