For the month of November I am going to attempt to write a post a day, based on a passage in scripture, that will help to increase our spiritual fitness.

I believe that we are multi faceted beings, and that it is crucial for us to not get caught up in just one area of our lives and neglect the others. That being said, the most critical aspect that we need to have cultivated and focused on, is our relationship with our Maker. He designed us to need Him, and without spending time in His word or listening to what he has to say to us, we are subject to so many other areas of our lives crumbling.

So here goes!

“I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.” (Job 23:12b NIV)

We need to intentionally fill our souls with the word of God. Not just “oh yea, I know what the Bible says, and that God loves me…” Instead we need to meditate on it, which simply means focused thinking. Instead of focusing our thinking on our worries and our troubles and our anxieties and all that we’ve got going on; we need to focus on Him and what He says to us.

Everything we ever need to get through any situation can be found in His word. Sure, it might not say “Sally, you should take that job at the bank instead of the one at the school” in Daniel chapter 5. 🙂 But if you spend time reading it, and then time in quiet prayer, and listening to Christian radio, you’ll be surprised how God places things on your heart and mind.

So there’s the start! To get this ball rolling, let’s all make an effort to each day be consciously incorporating more of God and less of the world in our days. The types of music you listen to is a perfect way to start.

Blessings for a Spiritually saturated November!
