Bible Quotation
"And whatever you do, in words or deeds, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17
How is the gospel affecting your home life?
Does this verse allow for the separation of Christian and 'secular' life?
How do we do things in Jesus' name?
Is anything outside his interest?
What makes this command hard to keep at your place?
Could you really change things?
How could your home be more fruitful?
- Our home life over the years has been affected by the gospel, as God has molded me into the Wife, Mother, daughter and sister or friend. As my life has been in line with the gospel then there has been real growth. When I wonder away at time the Christian growth does wain.
- I believe as a Christian we must live the life that God as ordained through Jesus Christ whether is be in our Christian fellowship or within the secular parts of our lives. It is by this means others will see and believe.
- As we live for Jesus, following his Words and examples we do this in His name. When we pray for guidance in Jesus Christ.
- Nothing is outside His interest, everything we do and think is of interest to Him. We often can try and shut Him out but even so He is there just waiting for us to return to His side.
- Our human frailties make it difficult at times. When we react to a situation before we think of what He would want us to do. Our wants and needs and selfishness can keep us from keeping this command.
- We have the power to change things at any time, when we react differently to any given situation then that situation is changed forever. Therefore when we seek Gods will in our home then we act and react differently to situations thus change will come. It may not always seem like this change is good but the final outcome will be for the good.
- Our home could be more fruitful when I let go and let God take over. Too often do I think I am but another player in the game of life, when I get the ball I think I have to run and make the try, when in fact I should stop and hand it back to God and then ask Him to show me the strategy of the next move.
Lord let me wait on Your Will each day of my game of Life..
Amen...
