I'm here from Chele's Shout Outs and I'm so glad I stopped by. What a great way to look at it and it is SO true! I do the same thing. I think other than the study part, I'm looking at whether I'm worrying or speaking negatively. Am I'm being short tempered or do I still feel joy and peace? If I'm worrying, I'm not trusting God to handle it, not a good sign. Thanks again!! <abbr><em>Erika’s last blog post..<a href="http://erika-sowingseeds.blogspot.com/2009/06/sometimes-we-get-too-comfy-in-our.html" rel="nofollow">All in the Name of Peace</a></abbr></em> This is a GREAT blog.

My mind always goes straight to the amount of time I am reading my Bible when I am faced with this question as well. But I love what you have pointed out. Thank you! Love this one!

Yes, there is no doubt we must regularly read God's Word--for many reasons. But there are also times we must put the bible down and get up and actually LIVE OUT what we say we believe. That is much harder than bible study! ;) I have found that one way I can check my own spiritual temperature is to see how much time passes between a sin I commit and my genuine confession and repentance. Obviously, if I am growing in intimacy with the Lord, that span of time should get shorter each time! Thanks for this post, Nicole. Have a great week. <abbr><em>Amy’s last blog post..<a href="http://amyhale.typepad.com/diary_of_an_overwhelmed_w/2009/05/the-grace-of-an-american-idol.html" rel="nofollow">The Grace of an American Idol</a></abbr></em> Very good point.
