Ten Ways to Refill Your Soul

One of my favorite times of the day is my drive home from work in the mornings. The first thing I do is turn on CSN and listen to Pastor Greg Laurie. After a long night at work, with a tired mind and exhausted body, listening to the preaching rejuvenates my mind and restores my spirit. It is like filling my cup back up when it has been emptied from the cares of life.

Refill your soul every day.

1. Read your Bible. Slowly. Thoughtfully. Mediating on it.

2. Listen to the Bible being read. You Version Bible app is perfect for this.

3. Be at every church service at your home church. Soak in the words that the Lord has given your pastor. Believe me, I live with a pastor. Much prayer and study goes into those messages. Take notes.

4. Listen to the sermon again that week. We videotape our Sunday morning sermons and they are available on our website at www.svbcreno.org.

5. Listen to other good pastors and teachers. I listen to CSN-Christian Satellite Network. They have wonderful teaching throughout the day and all week long.

6. Read good books. I get lots of great free books on my Kindle and am always reading a couple at a time on my I-Phone. Stimulate your mind!

7. Do a Bible study. Pick a subject that you struggle with...something you want to grow in.

8. Pray. Out loud. There is healing is releasing your thoughts to someone - especially the the Great Physician.

9. Do something kind for someone.

10. Drink an extra cup of coffee. :D

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
