Thanks for joining us for The Grounded Life! Like Psalm 1 says, focusing on God’s Word throughout your day will result in your life becoming like a tree firmly planted by water: It won’t wither when the going gets tough because it has strong roots. That’s what we want, and it’s probably what you want too … which is why you signed up for The Grounded Life journey with Life 96.5.
Like us, you probably don’t have a lot of extra time throughout your day. Most likely, you barely have five minutes to spare in a day. To be blessed and renewed by God’s Word, you don’t have to commit to hours a day at your desk reading and studying commentaries. The Psalmist focused on God’s Word during many different life circumstances, not just when he was sitting in his quiet-time chair at 6 am. And you can too!
So let’s take the next step together. Did you know … when you write something down in your own handwriting, it helps you remember it better?
Grab a notecard or a sticky note and take a couple minutes to write out our passage for the month of January. Is there a spot you could place it in your home? Maybe on the bathroom mirror? By the kitchen sink? On the dash of your car?
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.—Psalm 51:10–12
Will you commit to reading this verse twice a day? By the end of January, you may just be able to repeat it without looking!
As you begin a new year, you won’t regret making time to think about God’s words throughout your day. When you say and pray Psalm 51:10–12, you are giving God permission to do a work in your life. He will! The results are a purified heart, a renewed spirit, awareness of His presence with you, and a heart filled with His joy! Welcome to The Grounded Life! We look forward to this journey with you!
