Disciplines Living HIS Life

-
Hello friends! Today's blog will be a continuation from the last one about that this is not our life to live but GOD's! In this blog however, we will be discussing what it looks like to live HIS life.

This is not a step by step instruction guide or a to do list, this is a change of our hearts on how we are meant to live! I will be giving you however things as Christians that we need to do in order to live GOD's life. 

To start things off, here is a list (I be cautious when using this word as we can misinterpret it as a list of check boxes to do as Christians when it really is just a life change!) of disciplines you must do while living HIS life!

  • Read HIS Word
  • Study HIS Word
  • Memorize HIS Word
  • Journal
  • Worship
  • Pray
I will do a brief breakdown of each category!

Read HIS Word: This is some beautiful times of the day! You are just washing yourself in HIS Word! This part is reading your Bible. Typically here, I will read quite a bit. Right now I am starting a 6 month Bible reading plan that my Dad and I created! (I will share in a future blog!) In that plan, you read roughly about 7 chapters of the Bible a day. This is not about deep diving, (We will get there next!) this is purely just reading HIS Word in larger quantities! 

You may think that sounds like a lot and you do not have time, but friend, do you really not have time? We find all the excuses just to live this life like its ours when it is very much not. Lets work on that together!

Study HIS Word: This is when we deep dive and dig into HIS Word! Just pick a book you want to study and take it slow. Really dig into it! You can read a couple verses a day to study or more. 

Memorize HIS Word: This is one that has really spoke to me in the past year by how important this is just like reading Scripture! This is how Scripture will stay in our hearts when we need it! All you need to do is start by memorizing one verse a week! Write them down and continue to work on them. 

Journal: Here you are going to write down anything from your reading or study that spoke out to you! It can be something you learned about GOD or an observation. There are so many different ways you can journal, and I will talk about this in the future, but the main point is to write it all down to remember! 

Worship: This is not just songs, this is our actions of our hearts. What are you thinking about that nobody knows? I catch myself judging others sometimes. Yes, nobody knows, but GOD does. Worship is how you honor GOD throughout your day in your heart! I also encourage you to find a time to worship HIM and to catch a glimpse of HIS holiness. 

Prayer: This is a category I feel we all take to little and for granted all to much. We just pray to GOD when we want something or need something from HIM. Prayer is something where we should honor HIM, confess our sins to HIM, give thanks to HIM, then ask from HIM. Prayer is also something we can do all day long! 

Now that you know the disciplines of living HIS life, in the next blog I will talk about what a day living HIS life looks like! As these categories are not check boxes they are disciplines of living HIS life! 

Friends, I know this may seem intimating at first, but living HIS life like we were designed to will be so freeing!

I look forward to writing to you next about what living these disciplines out for HIM will look like!

Have a lovely day or night wherever you are!

For HIM,
~Sabina

Victorious Sacrifice!

Hello friends! Today's topic will be about how JESUS' last words on the cross were victorious!  When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit. ~ John 19:30 CSB The Greek word for "It is finished" is so powerful! It actually means that debt is paid! They used this word on writings whenever a debt was paid. JESUS' last word on the cross meant that our debt was paid. The word is so beautiful and strong.  Here is what Charles Spurgeon wrote about this word: "It is finished." There is only one Greek word for this utterance of our LORD, although to translate it into English, we have to use three words-an ocean of meaning in a drop of a language. Yet it would need all the other words ever spoken, or can ever be spoken, to explain this one word. It is altogether immeasurable. It is high-I can not attain it. It is deep-I can not fathom it. I always knew that "It is finished," was the end o...

Every Human Heart Will Melt

Isaiah   13:6-7 [6] Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come! [7] Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every human heart will melt.  "Every human heart will melt."      On the day of the LORD, every human heart will melt.  Just a simple thought that came to me about this statement was how we are given a new heart  when the LORD calls us. We were born with a heart of stone, and the LORD gave us a heart of flesh.        To think the heart of stone is what is going to melt on the day of descruction just reveals our Mighty GOD's glory! Just as the LORD taking our heart of stone and making it a heart of flesh reveals HIS glory, so does melting (destroying) the heart of stone.      If you still have a heart of stone, repent of your sins and look to JESUS and HE will give you a heart of flesh! Commit your life to the LORD and contnually repent!      If t...

Walk in the Truth

Hello friends! Today's topic will be about how we need to walk in the Truth daily.  What does walking in the truth mean? In means walking with the Scripture. Obeying it. Having a clean, humble, heart. Letting the HOLY SPIRT guide you.  Reading the Scripture every day is so important friends. The Bible is not just a book it is how GOD communicates with us! They are HIS words! When GOD talks to you it is through the Scriptures. When a verse or a passage speak out to you or convict you that is GOD speaking to you! Or when you pray and a passage of Scripture is reveled to you that is GOD! An important thing to note however is that if you want to hear GOD and feel GOD, you must sit in  HIS presence and read HIS words!  Here is a verse that warns us about our human nature: But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light within you is darkness-how deep is that darkness! Matthew 6:23 CSB   Our sinful human nature is darkness. But by wal...
