Need God

We need to spend time with God. If we don't bother praying or studying but once in a while we are not going to know Him or His plans for our lives. It's like you and a friend trying to toss popcorn back and forth. The farther you are away from each other the less you are going to make your mark. But as you step closer and closer to one another it becomes easier to accomplish the task. You get so close that you place the popcorn in the palm of the others hand.

As we spend time with God we learn His ways. Then we have to put them into practice. Throwing off the old ways. Renewing our minds to live like Christ.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! " ~2 Corinthians 5:17

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." ~Philippians 4:8-9

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." ~Romans 12:2

Study God's word. Pray daily for wisdom to know what He has for you. Memorize His words, store them in your heart. These are the things you need to rely on daily. The truth of His word.
