Clean And Delve

I like serving a God who LOVES giving clean slates. I've been horrible with my Bible reading for the past month, and, to quote my father who's quoting from someone else, "It takes four weeks to make a habit," (at least, I think it was around a month). So I thought, OH CRAP, I've made a habit out of being inconsistent with my Bible reading. Now it's gonna be WAY harder to get back into the groove. But then I realized something grand. When I fess up to God about how crappy I've been and ask for His forgiveness, this "habit" can be gone in a jiffy. I'm the only one holding it there (plus the words of my father, if I choose to accept them).

Oh, and one more thing! I was talking to God about reading, and telling Him that I can get by with reading like every other day during the week, and still have enough Word in me to pour out to my small group, so why would I need to get into a healthier habit? Then God was like, "But is that gonna be able to carry you through college?" and I was like, hole, He's right. I've gotta be delving, not just skimming, if I'm gonna make a difference where I'm going.
