Sometimes it takes a significant illness or catastrophe to get closer to God. We do not use our strength. We use the power of God to enrich our souls. Some people are a connection to God by reading daily devotions and praising God for the many blessings in their life. A friend reminded me to mention this.
When we are strong and well, we tend to live or get by with our strength. We are on automatic pilot, and God is the actual pilot in our life. God is the one that can save your soul. Thank God daily for your health, family, and friends and for giving you your first breath of life and every breath you take while on Earth.
Keep the sabbath day by reading your Bible, attending church, and watching a church service on TV or social media. Thank God for the week you had and how he blessed your life. Observe nature and its beauty that God made for all of us to enjoy. Spend time with friends and family on Sunday and think of how lucky you are to have each other in your life.
When I was sick, I got closer to God as he was my strength and refused. God gave me the strength to endure and took my life in a new direction. I became a lay minister at my church, visiting people in the rest home or assisted living. I love seeing them; we enrich each other’s lives in many fantastic and outstanding ways. I enjoy writing Inspirations with Laura and sharing them with others.
Do not live on automatic pilot, as it will only take you so far in life. God is our pilot and guide to a religious life that will strengthen and save our soul for its final journey to Heaven.
Hebrews 4: 12
The word of God is quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing, even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Galatians 1 : 3
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
