Get closer to Jesus

partipating in http://www.43things.com/things/view/1592011. It is really helping.

This week I have been listening to 1 CD a day of the NIV Bible. Today I listened to the Book: A Shepherd’s look at the 23rd Psalm. I have heard many quotes from this book before so I knew it was going to be good. I am a member of Audible. I purchased it online and burned it onto a CD. It only takes us one CD. It was VERY good. I am going to listen to it again.

It really brings to life how Jesus is our Shepherd, we are His sheep and we TOTALLY need Him.

Even though I walked a 5k today, I made time to go to church. I usually go to 3rd service at 11am. Registration for the 5k was a 6am, my race was at 10:25am. After registering for the 5k, I went to 1st service at my church, which starts at 7:30am. After church I went directly to the 5k event. I felt like I did everything that I was suppose to do today.

1 Timothy 4:8 (New King James Version)
For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

This is a goal that will remain forever.

I am doing better about being consistant with my morning devotions. I do a Bible Study and then I document then needs in my life that cause me stress. God is so good! He does not want me to have stress. He want me to totally give EVERYTHING to Him that would distress me. Thank-you, Lord.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7 (New Living Translation)

I know the way to do this. I just need to do it more. The main way is to read the Bible. There is also praying alone and with other people; going to church and hearing messages that explain the scriptures. Another important thing is to live what I know, I learn more about Jesus through experiencing Him this way. It is like taking a walk with Jesus and getting to know Him as I obey what He wants me to do.
