My consistency has not been what it should be. My friend, Megan, is hosting a Good Morning Girls group and I have decided to join in.
S- And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored.
(Luke 6:9-10 ESV)
O-1) I feel like we all get caught up with the shallow things so often. We think about looks and the things that make us feel good. While I long to experience the deeper things of life, I feel like I am trying to dive down with a life jacket on. The Pharisees in this passage are caught up in the traditions and what is socially acceptable and completely miss out on the amazing good that Jesus had in store. A man was HEALED! Why do we constantly get in the way of that with our own habits and acceptable behaviors\looks\thoughts. 2) Jesus asked the man to stretch out his hand. This was an act of faith on the man's part. He risked being a fool in front of the men who seemingly mattered most.
A-Spend time in God's Word consistently. My heart will not connect with God's if I am not meeting with Him daily. Also, reinforce the reality of what is really important with my kids. While I may insist that their clothes match when we go out in public, this does not change how God sees them at all. :)
P-Praying that God will honor the desire of my heart as it seeks Him.
