A Few Random Jesus Thoughts



     
~Wildflowers~




I figure that it is high time that I write another post, so here goes. :) A few quotes to start you off!
 (And as always, I had to throw in a couple pictures! Because what is a blog post without photos??) 

"If you debate for a second when God has spoken, it is all up. Never begin to say - 'Well, I wonder if He did speak?' Be reckless immediately, fling it all out on Him. You do not know when His voice will come, but whenever the realization of God comes in the faintest way imaginable, recklessly abandon. It is only by abandon that you recognize Him. You will only realize His voice more clearly by recklessness."
~Oswald Chambers
My Utmost for His Highest

"And if I'm doing good, help me to never make a sound except to give all the glory to You."
~Keith Green
Oh, Lord, You're Beautiful

I found these quotes last week, and I am finding them convicting and inspiring afresh each time I read them! I hope they drive you closer to Jesus! 

Now, if you want to do a really great study, look up the word 'heart' in your concordance and read each verse. :) For greater impact, write each verse down and then read them out loud as a fountain of praise to your Great, Beautiful and Faithful God. It also helps to ask yourself questions, such as:

Is my heart right?
Am I displaying the right attitudes?
What are the right attitudes?
How do I obtain these attitudes?

Here are a few verses to get you started.

Joshua 22:5
1 Samuel 16:7
Psalm 27:3
Psalm 139:23
Proverbs 21:1-2
Isaiah 57:15
Jeremiah 24:7                       ~Bible~
Ezekiel 36:27
Matthew 12:34
Acts 11:23
Colossians 3:22
Hebrews 4:12
1 Peter 3:4

Happy studying! May you grow ever more in the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ!
