Living in God

We sang a song in church on Sunday, In him we live and move and have our being. Then shortly afterwards a prophetic word, again about living in God, that God does not want us to merely exist, but to live in him. To have everything he has for us, to trust completely in him, to have a real relationship with him, to know the plans he has for our lives. I just thought WOW, this is great, came away from church blessed, but also challenged. How can I live in him? I mean really live in him not just exist with him by my side, which he is of course, but really live in him as the song says. So this is going to be my quest shall we say to study God's word to pray more to find out for myself how I can truly live in him.

Firstly I know I need to read my bible more, as most people are I'm always busy rushing about, with 2 kidies,a husband, a part time job, with two other little cleaning jobs, all church activities, life is hectic sometimes, which I love don't get me wrong. I love to be busy and on the go, and I'm not trying to make excuses, just saying it as it is. When I do get a minute to myself I chose to do other things and that's the simple truth of it. I put on my lap top, talk to my friends on msn or christian chat, I watch the television, read a book, text or play games on my phone, all these are distractions that I chose to do. But hey I know that I need to change this, I know I need to read the bible more. This is something I believe as a christian I need, to guide me, teach me, strengthen me and most importantly to draw me closer to God himself. In Psalm chapter 1 v 1-3, it says in my understanding, that we will be blessed if we keep away from evil, who delights himself in the Lord, and get this meditates on his word day and night. When we read the bible, we will be just like the trees that are planted by streams of living water. We will have fruit in our season, we will prosper and our leaves will not wither. I know for sure that I don't want to wither up, and I need the refreshing of streams of living water, from God's word. I know that by reading his word more, I have found one way of getting closer to my quest, (lol sounds cheesy). To live in him and move in him.
