Living It Out This Week
“I can do it myself!” Proud words of any child but later in life become a symptom of trouble. We all want independence, but this is not what Christ wants for us. He wants us to be interdependent on others and dependent on Him.
Sunday-Jeremiah 3.1-4.1: Return. Turn back. Stop going to and from and remain faithful. All words/phrases to help us understand the natural inclinations of humanity. But, God’s people are to be different. Pray for faithfulness!
Monday-1 Samuel 15.17-23: The first king, one of the people’s choosing, disobeyed and the prophet Samuel must rebuke. Notice what is said concerning God’s desire. Pray for obedience!
Tuesday-1 Samuel 16.1-13: A new king was to be anointed, but he must wait to come to the throne. Samuel was to be intently listening for God’s choosing. Character on the inside matters!
Wednesday-Luke 15.11-32: God always has room for someone to come home. He is waiting to see how you and I will respond to His grace. Pray for a heart like God’s
Thursday-John 10.1-18: Jesus is our ultimate shepherd and guide. We must listen to His voice. How do you hear Jesus? Prayer, reading Scripture, and being with his people are good starts. Slow down today and spend some time listening to Jesus.
Friday-Jeremiah 4.4: Circumcision was an outward sign of an inward commitment to be God’s people for the Jews! Yet, they and us, need to let our hearts be changed.
Saturday-2 Peter 3.8-9: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to church.
