I just got a revelation from a Joyce Meyer sermon. God said to her years ago, "Stop counting things." I actually have gotten caught up in that lately with counting likes on Facebook. It seems silly but that's just my competitive nature.
We're always comparing how we are doing compared to how others are doing. But all that matters really is how God says we are doing. Amen. :)
But also we need to stop counting things like how many hours or minutes we pray every day, or how many chapters we read in the Bible. Stop counting how many sermons you listen to etc.
I would even say stop counting calories and things like that. Because any counting is following the letter of the law; it's legalism. It's our attempt to take control and reign in the flesh and force ourselves to do good things. But instead we should be led by the Holy Spirit. We should do good things because we want to and it's a joy to, not because we are forcing ourselves to. "God loves a cheerful giver" and this includes giving our time or anything. Amen.
Stop keeping track or keeping score of anything. Just live. Just be free. Just do what God puts in your heart to do and don't worry about what anyone else is doing. Amen. :) God bless!
