1 Peter 4:1-7
Inspired thots
I am reminded (again) my life is NOT my own; I have been redeemed by Jesus and hence, 'the life that I now live, I live by faith in Christ Jesus my Lord' ~ Gal. 2:20
The past is gone~NOW is the time of living... for the Lord.
The outstanding lesson in this passage today for me is from v7-12;
~ the end of all things is near...
~ be clear minded and self-controlled SO THAT YOU CAN PRAY
That is more important than making money and being occupied with other tasks.
Praying seems so 'inactive' ~ not many people indulge into it.
Clear-minded to pray; hmmm... so that my own thoughts do not interfere with what God wants me to pray.
Self-controlled to pray: a disciplined indulgence to overcome self needs and wants to focus on others' needs.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
