Bible Reading Plan

I have a Bible app on my phone that gives me a daily verse with a topic.
I'm gonna give my thoughts on the verse and try to meditate on it each and every day. Hopefully I can stay consistent with this...

Accountability - James 5:16

James 5:16 "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results."

I've found that having a friend, or friends, to hold you accountable for your actions makes your walk with Christ that much more enjoyable and convicting. Also having someone who sincerely prays for you is amazing, especially when you know they're working just as hard as you to improve their relationship with God. It gets hard at times to try and walk alone. Having people who understand you, where, and what you've been through is very comforting feeling. Plus it makes you more transparent, in other words you have nothing to hide and being able to be yourself completely with no secrets brings a sense of peace and joy that's indescribable. I definitely need to continue to work on my accountability.

Thoughts for the day 7/4/12

Proverbs 18:21
The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Speak life to one another. Be positive and encouraging with your peers, including the ones you're not too fond of. Your words have power, use that power wisely. Forgive one another. There are too many people in this world who've missed out on helping their family, friends, and loved one because of petty disputes and grudges. If you LOVE somebody, then LOVE them as GOD loves you, unconditionally. That goes from family to friends to even your newest acquaintance. Realize that nobody is perfect, and that people are inevitably going to make mistakes, just like you do...Just some thoughts for the day...
