Homecoming -- The Motions

Saturday, October 9, 2010
Read Psalm 104:34
By Jason Wade

I do my quiet time every morning. A few years ago, I began to feel like I wasn’t getting enough out of my Bible study. I was missing something. I began to pray and God revealed to me that I was just going through the motions so I could check quiet time off my daily list. After all, I am a deacon and a Sunday School teacher.

I realized I had no passion for God’s Word. I began to really seek Him in the mornings. God began to reveal truth to me that I didn’t hear before. My prayers began to have power. I began to pray without ceasing throughout the day. It has made a difference in my life. I developed a hunger for the Word and a thirst for Christ’s righteousness that I had not had before. I decided that I didn’t want to spend one more day going through the motions. I want to live each day with God’s all-consuming passion inside of me. What about you?

Applying the Truth as an Individual
How’s your quiet time?
Do you have one?
Are you going through the motions?
Pray and ask god to meet with you during those times.

Applying the Truth as a Church
Is PVBC going through the motions?
Are we spinning our wheels?
God gave us His best: His Son, Jesus. Jesus gave us His best: His life.
Is PVBC giving God our best?
