Everyday, Ordinary Life

19 04 2017

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you:

DSC04254Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.

Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out.

Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it.

Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Romans 12:1-2 MSG

 





Imagine Me

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4

In my life ahead, I imagine my life stronger, focused and thriving.  I am blessed today and I am thankful.  Tomorrow the Lord’s purpose for me compels me to reach higher, live higher and to move closer to Him.  I imagine my days full of His strength, surrounded by His peace, focused on His purpose for me.  I have to work while it is day and while the door is still open.  I will follow His leading.  Other pursuits serve as distractions and wastes precious time.  I imagine my day today, one good decision after another.  His Holy Spirit is faithful to guide when I am listening.  I am moving forward in my health, in the work of my hands and in my purpose.  One day at a time, I imagine a life pleasing to Him.
