Romans 12:11 NASB "not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord"I found myself doing it to just do it!  Today's Word is about being diligent, fervent and serving! I had to stop and ask myself "why was a I doing it" - sometimes things in life become a ritual where we just do it to do it without asking ourselves why we are doing it. I found myself just praying through my prayer list without really focusing on who was on it. I would close the book and not even remember who I was praying for, I just went through the names on a list. I had to stop just praying a list and start really praying for the needs of those I have added to it. When we are serious about the "why" we are doing it, we may just find that somethings need to be changed in our walk with Christ. We must become fervent in the why we are doing it, so that we can really be serving the Lord and not ourselves! peace, tom
