I find this intriguing.

It's good to have a plan.

It's good to have a deadline.

But what about the power to carry through?

Human desire can go only so far.

Here's God's five point plan for growth in our walk with Him.

G.....go to God in prayer.

R.....read His Word daily.

O.....obey what you read.

W.....witness, i.e. share His love with others.

And another "R".....rely totally on His power to accomplish all of the above.

P.S. Here's something I'm struggling with...

I'm being stirred to believe God for a group of people out there who could become involved in a Bible study.

But, and this is the scary part, what if there's a whole lot more involvement involved?

Going beyond the time I'm prepared to give.

I know, I know...whose time is it anyway?

What about being a servant?

It shouldn't be all about me and my comfort zone and what I might have to give up.

Jesus set a pretty high standard...

Death to self.

I have such a long way to go.

Help, Lord!
