Then, with gentle little steps, like a sneaking mouse, my 7 year old emerged from his bedroom with sleepy little eyes. I said, “Josh, would you like to read your Bible with me?” He thought about it for a moment and then said sure. I had him read Psalm 1 and then asked what he thought. He responded, “A good guy delights in God’s law.” Rather surprised by his grasp of the text I said, “So what does that mean for you?” Again, he shocked me with, “I should spend more time reading the Bible.” I was rather dumbfounded at this point and told him if he believed this he should make a plan to accomplish it. I’ve scanned his plan and attached it here.

7 year old Josh's plan to know God better

Folks, now this is from a 7 year old. I only helped with the shell but the idea and the plan is completely his. He’s made the decision, since the Bible told him so, to read every day in order to know God better. Let me tell you: If this isn’t convicting to you…it should be. He’s decided he’s going to take real steps to know God better and he has a plan for it. Do you have a plan to know God better? If you do I would love for you to share it. If not, why not?

Friends, let me challange you with the example of a 7 year old. Commit your life to Him and develop a plan to know HIM better. AMEN!

chocolate chipHave you ever heard or said somthings impossible?Like mabe a math problem in school, or a hit in baseball.Well nothings really immposible even as big as moving a mountain!Right now your probley saying to yourself “What’s she talking about”?But in the gosspel of Mathew 17:20 It says we can have very little faith,but can go up to a mountain and say move and it will move.The amount of faith it says we have to have is as big as a muster!Thats smaller than a choclate chip!That’s really small! That shows us that with the powers of God we can do anthing!
