Today is Friday, May 25th, 2007; Karen's Korner #1070
I was given a book from my friend Kim Lee on Monday titled, "The Power of a Praying Woman" by Stormie Omartian. Most people know that their praying time could be better, expanded, more consistent; I fall into the category.
I have only read chapter one, but would like to share a list of points from what I have read:
Five Good Ways to Tell if Your Walk with God is Shallow
1. If you follow the Lord for only what God can do for you, your walk with Him is shallow. If you love Him enough to ask Him what you can do for Him, then your relationship is growing deep.
2. If you only pray to God when things are tough or you need something, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you find yourself praying to Him many times a day just because you love to be in His presence, then your relationship is growing deep.
3. If you get mad at God or disappointed in Him when He doesn't do what you want, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you can praise God no matter what is going on in your life, then your relationship with Him is growing deep.
4. If you love God only because of what He does, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you love and reverence Him for who He is, then your relationship with Him is growing deep.
5. If you think you have to beg God or twist His arm to get Him to answer your prayers, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you believe that God wants to answer the prayers you pray in line with His will, then your relationship with Him is growing deep.
