I seem to keep forgetting that.
I’m not sure how either.
My heart is so dirty, like someone soaked it in evil, the less time I spend with God.
So when I haven’t been in God’s Word or in any type of consistent prayer in days… and sometimes I forget because I “know so much” about God’s Word and whatnot.
But the truth is…
if I knew anything of value at all, if I had the slightest bit of wisdom…
I would not spend a second away from God. I would never stop reading His Word and listening to His silence and soaking up His Presence that He offers freely though the Holy Spirit. I would never stop serving and getting my hands dirty with the sin of the world while God keeps my heart clean.
It doesn’t matter if I can explain theology to my peers. It doesn’t matter even if I can recite the gospel from the top of my head.
It is more important to be filled with the Holy Spirit. To let God rule and cleanse my heart. To accept, daily, the forgiveness Jesus earned for me and turn to Him.
All else will follow.
