Plan of attack

Today is one of the biggest days of the year for the women in my family, it’s Black Friday. Simply put this is the biggest shopping day of the year and they look forward to it. Every year is the same routine. We eat our Thanksgiving meal, clean the table off, then they begin to formulate their plan of attack. They have all the newspapers out, all the coupons spread over the table, notebooks and pens at the ready to jot down notes, the whole nine yards. Needless to say they have this down to an art by now. When they leave the house they have a singular mission and that’s to shop until they drop and to get the Christmas list as done as they can. It would be an amazing thing to watch if I knew that I was not going to have to find a way to pay for it all. What would your spiritual life be like if you had that type of focus on God? Why not develop a plan of attack, so to speak, as to how you can grow as a Christian? You don’t have to have a war room type feel to it like my family does over the shopping stuff but you need to find a way to get a steady dose of God into your life daily. It can be something simple like making sure you pray every day to start off with. Once you have that down, make it a priority to read your bible daily. Once you have that as part of your life, focus on making changes in your life that will keep you on the path as given to us in God’s word. Then you can go and share that which you have learned with others in need. Make God a must in your life. Make spending time with Him something that you look forward to daily. I promise you, its better than going out shopping at 3am for the perfect gift with a bunch of women hyped up on caffeine any day of the week.
