Glorifying God on Facebook – Part 2

“Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.” ~ Ecclesiastes 12:1

It is really, really easy to spend too much time on Facebook/social media.  Sometimes (maybe more like a lot of times) we even deprive our bodies of the sleep we need just so we can sit up and surf Facebook, Pinterest, etc.  Then, the next morning we check our Facebook first-thing, before we even spend time with God.  We might even get on Facebook in the middle of the night if we can’t sleep.  

Today I want to challenge us to make some new habits:

-

Pick a Bible verse that you need to memorize (or maybe one that Pastor Stockton has encouraged us to memorize).  Every time you think to check your Facebook, read that Bible verse first.  Continue this habit to the point that you begin reciting the verse to yourself, thus eventually memorizing it.

-

When you wake up in the night, instead of checking your phone for a text or looking at social media for a notification, talk to God.

-

Purpose that you will spend time reading the Bible each day before you get on any form of social media.  If you end up going to work or beginning school without reading your Bible, keep yourself from doing anything on social media until you have spent time in God’s Word.

Making these habits now – “remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth” - is part of becoming a Godly adult woman.  It is part of giving God our best instead of just giving Him the basics.  I will tell you which habit I need to work on: the first one – memorizing Scripture.  So, I am going to start purposing to work on a Bible memory verse before I get on Facebook – every time!  Comment today and let us know which one of these habits you are going to work on!
