What God does lasts forever...

"I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him." Ephesians 3:14

Whatever God does will be forever. What are you letting God do in your life? Are you letting Him make changes in you that will last forever? Are you letting Him mold you into the person you need to be? Are you willing to let Him do something with your life?

This afternoon, I was scanning the clearance tables at my local Christian bookstore and I found a student's Bible study journal. It has spaces in it for Bible study notes from group and personal Bible studies, as well as pages for prayers and thoughts. As I was flipping through it, I thought about how much time we give to God every day.

I was recently asked to come to a teen camp as a counselor this summer. I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend yet, but if I do, I want to challenge the girls I'll be teaching to keep a journal like this. I'll go ahead and challenge you to do the same.

For the next week, keep a written record of what God speaks to you. Take notes of your pastor's sermons. Write down a quote that makes you think or sparks your curiosity. Jot down the lyrics to a song that made you smile (or cry) and why it made you feel that way. Write down your prayer requests and write down how God answers them! Tape in a picture of a beautiful sunset that reminded you of the awesomeness of your Creator. Write down your favorite memory verse and what it means to you. Write the hard questions that you want to ask God, them look up the answers in the Bible. Make a list of the things you're thankful for.

Then, at the end of the week, read what you've written.

This kind of exercise can show you just how much you're allowing God to move in your life. The more you open up to what He wants to show you and do through you, you'll notice His hand on your life more and more each day.

What God does lasts forever. And He's always working. We don't stop to look around very often, but He's there.

I'd love to hear what God tells you during the next week. You can leave a comment or email me at cmhopper.warrior@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
