Let’s take a good look at the way we’re living
and reorder our lives under God.
PHILIPPIANS 1:9-10 (NLT)
I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.
THE ESSENCE
Allow Christ to reorder your life so that his priorities become your priorities.
DAILY FODDER
How do you go about examining your life to determine if Christ’s priorities and agenda have become a part of you? What do you do when you realize that change is needed?
PRAYER
Our Heavenly Father, you're the one I ultimately want to please. That, however, doesn't seem possible. No matter how hard I work to prioritize your priorities, my priorities surface and take over. Apart from the intervention of Christ I don't stand a chance. Thus, I'm trusting him and I'm asking him to take over and reorganize my life so that I'm in total alignment with you and your agenda. Show me what needs changing so that I can let go of those things and live a pure and blameless life according to your standards. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
