Write His Word in Your Heart

Author: Hannah • Discussion: No Comments
I believe Spiritual living has its foundation in many elements, but perhaps the most absolutely fundamental and essential element I have found is in reading the Word of God.  Why would this be the foundation?  Well, because it is God’s very reference book to us that guides every other aspect of our living.
If I want to know how to pray, I can look in God’s Word, and see how Jesus taught us to pray.
If I want to know how to live, I see it as an instruction guide to godly living.
But perhaps the most supernatural and truly splendid “relevance” of the Bible, is that God speaks to us through his written Word.  And, not just when we’re reading it!

People have been praying over me.  A couple of weeks ago, at Life Group, my entire group prayed for healing into my life.  (For more information about why people are praying for me, see my other Medical Update post).  I had to go to Austin on Jan 24-26, and that week was ridiculously bad with episodes occurring frequently throughout each day.
But, then on that Saturday (1/28), it was as if a switch was thrown, and my episodes tapered off substantially, out of the clear blue.  I went from frequent and severe episodes Mon-Fri, to virtually NONE on Saturday.  I had 1 or 2 episodes on all days, Saturday through the following week.  Still no episode-free days, but as close as I’ve come since December 22 (my one and only episode free day since the onset of this mysterious condition at the end of November).
