Living it, living God’s word. Yes, 1 was prayer, 2 reading and studying God’s word….but 3 living it. YIKES so much harder.
That means going out past yourself. It means allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you instead of our ego and fears.
So with prayer and reading the Bible and then listening. I came up with my and hopefully God approved ideas for how to live His word.
To live it is to love. Embrace love. Show love even when you really want to thump them on the head. Just breath, show patience and laugh.
To live is to serve. The serving of others can be doing something really big, but most the time it is the small things, that make the greatest changes.
Getting up to get something for another at the table before they even know that they will need it. This humble act is usually not even noticed but it is the Holy Spirit using you to care for others.
Caring for orphans is large, but the big change came in the small things. Holding a child, pushing the wheelchair, blowing up balloons, cleaning the restrooms or raking the playground are all small things. It is the small acts of serves that are weaved into God’s greatness.
Ecclesiastes 4: 12
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Easy as 1,2, 3 not really easy. Do-able yes. Pray, Read, Live….you can do this.
Remember also to laugh at the silly, it helps when things are hard. I personally think God puts silly in our lives to help us through the hard times. Sort of like an elephant in the garage.
So to live for God is to love, serve and laugh. Just my thoughts on the subject of easy as 1,2,3.
