Go. Right Now.
Open up the living book. Even if for just five minutes.
Let it breathe life into your drained and weary spaces. If you don’t feel inspired or “spoken to” that’s okay. Let it be an offering to your God. “Here I am Lord, here’s what I’ve got today. Would you speak to me in this moment. If not, I’m still here, let it be for you.”
For Him.
He invites us to join in the epic story, even during the slow moving times. Even when we don’t know why. He is there
…
And why you’re “going” somewhere, how about going over to Twitter and following @TommyNelson? They are so inspiring!
Amen – open it!!! (Sorry Sarah Mae but here comes a shameless plug!! lol! But I am CRAZY passionate about ladies OPENING their Bibles!)
If you need accoutability to help you open it every morning (cause face it – we all need a little help and accountability WORKS) – come visit us at http://www.goodmorninggirls.org We are forming tech accountability groups through September 15th. Some groups are made of 30+ ladies connecting on a facebook group daily. While others are in smaller groups and emailing each other daily. We are at about 500 ladies right now joining us – so you aren't alone in needing help.
Cling to the vine (Johhn 15:5) and Walk with the King!

Thank you for this.
This morning God nudged my heart towards forgiveness, as well as offering a change to be obedient in the face of my pride. I am thankful that he is guiding me, changing my selfish ways so that I can truly glorify him.
The hard part is next, seeking forgiveness of someone whom I've hurt deeply, well three people. I know God will give me strength, and the words.

Excellent advice. I needed this. Going now…
"Let it breath life into your drained and weary spaces." That's exactly what the Bible does! I was just sitting here thinking that I haven't really written anything in a couple of weeks – partly because I am drained of words and thoughts. I was thinking that maybe I need some prayer/Bible time for rejevenation and a refill of the words I need to say. Then I open Google reader and this is the first thing I see.
Going now to take 5! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this encouragement! I am weary and drained. Things have been so busy here compared to normal and I haven't had any quiet moments to myself with us traveling then family visiting. I need to realize that I just need to take the time and read His word. Your encouragement to stop and read really help. I did it and feel much better.

I LOVE this. You don't even have to think, there isn't any plan or goal…just the purpose of reading His word. So beautiful.
Even when we don't know why… He is there! Yes, indeed.

The most important thing we can do is open our Bible and read the words that breath life into our very being. Great post Sarah Mae :)

Thank you for this. I really, really needed it.
I don't think I could exist without my daily bread. I would be so lost!
Well… I found your post very enticing so I shared it on twitter and facebook. But I did not go right now. I am somewhat pigheaded :-)
I did open my Bible as soon as my Internet chores were done and instead of doing 5 minutes I did 5 chapters because I could not stop :-)
May God bless you and keep you darlin and thank you for the prod! :-) Love, Grandma Patty Ann
Wow, and I thought God had you type this just for me!! Read it this morning at 10 AM and stopped right away (do not pass go, do not collect $200) to go read my bible instead of perusing my blog reader! Thank you… even though I did not feel inspired I knew I had made the right choice!!

Amen! Hbr 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
