God is my everything and I find my heart often on Him. Find myself praying frequently, or just whispering thanks throughout the day.But my head is a problem. I constantly have to work to keep my mind renewed to God's ways instead of my selfishness. One simple way I do this is to take a few moments to read from the Bible each morning.
For me, this puts life for that day into perspective.
As I mentioned the other day when we were talking here at Kingdom Bloggers about our devotions , I often will find myself reading the same verses for a few days. It's like it takes a while for it to sink in deep. Then there will come a point when I feel a release to move on. I find that those verses I meditate on for a bit each morning become apart of how I think, how I approach situations in my life.
I'm so grateful for the Word. I never cease to be amazed at how relevant it is. Never cease to be amazed at how God's spirit opens up familiar passages to me in a new light as I look to Him.

Sometimes we think that repetition leads to a familiarity that causes us to just go through the motions, rather than it sinking in our spirit. However, I find more and more that repetition and meditation are meaningful disciplines that cause the Word to not only sink in my spirit but change me.
Great blog!
You know, one day I hope to have time to be like this. Thanks for the inspiration Tracy.
