Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.
THANK. Write down 3-5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
READ. Our Scripture Focus is Ephesians 6:10-20. Today’s reading is from Psalm 140:1-7 (Go Deeper: Isaiah 59:12-17, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, & Titus 2:11-14)
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
“Then act like it!” We’ve all heard those words before. Every time they’re uttered, it ‘s an appeal for our behavior to match our identity. And yet, as we get older we often switch the two around - believing who we are is determined by what we do. Our identity is determined by what God says and does - not the other way around. Time after time throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to remember our standing in Christ and then respond/act out of that place. Helmets our head and, more importantly, our mind. Similarly, our standing in Christ must protect our thinking! Helmets were made from metal and leather and protected not only a soldier’s head, but also his neck and shoulders from attack. The top of the helmet showcased a crest made from dyed horse hair to signify the rank of each soldier. Confidence in our salvation given through Christ allows believers to combat doubt with the assurance of our position in God. What do today’s readings say about salvation? What do they show you about the nature of the battles we go through? Where in your life do you need confidence in God’s salvation?
LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations.
