Today, I'm answering a question ... (I hope you find my answer beneficial!)
How do you keep
from growing stale in your walk with God?
Read and study God’s Word daily.
There's no substitute for it. Nothing this world has to offer gives us the
spiritual benefits that being in God’s Word daily does.
Set aside a specific time each day to meet with
God in prayer … and be there. The Bible is God talking to
us and prayer is us talking to God.
Listen to inspirational DVD’s, CD’s, tapes etc.
This is one of my favorite things to do when driving or
riding in a vehicle. I also do this when housework needs to be done or when
exercising.
Attend special events such as gospel meetings,
workshops, classes, conferences, ladies events, etc. These
types of events are geared toward giving us a shot of encouragement.
Remember that when we’re too busy for God,
we’re too busy. I’ve been a Christian for many years and
over the course of these years I’ve learned that God must be a priority in our
lives if we’re going to be pleasing to Him.
Don’t take our relationship with God for
granted, it only takes a little neglect to start us on the road to spiritual
decline. Paul addressed this issue of falling away in I
Corinthians 9:27 But I discipline my body and
bring it into subjection lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should
become disqualified. We use self-discipline in many areas of our
lives, work, caring for our families, caring for our homes, etc ... it stands
to reason that we should also use self-discipline when seeking spiritual
growth. Zero effort equals zero results regardless of what we're doing ...
including growing spiritually.
