Hey guys,
Let me preface this: There is no new reading today. Please take some time to catch up on yesterdays so that we can get some good discussion going. Maybe what you want to comment on is not directly in the passage but something that has already been said in the comments (not meaning to insight argument or angry debate but rather convey another viewpoint or convict/challenge by expounding on an idea or reflection, just felt the need to throw that in there so that we remember that we are discussing in love). Totally up to how you feel when reading all of it. Just do it in love, and I think we can learn a lot from what each of us see and are convicted by.
Above was my main point to just get us thinking and discussing on yesterday's verse. The rest is just a conviction I have been feeling this morning that I thought I would share.
I have been convicted about the difference between how I want to spend my time and how I actually spend it especially when it comes to the weekend where I have more free time and less obligations. While I desire to serve God and be his instrument in this world, many times, I get taken away by distractions and things that offer immediate gratification rather than staying disciplined. I've been trying to eliminate unproductive distractions and refocus my heart, but please pray for me in this. This is a good time heading into the Lenten season to look at ourselves and see where our hearts lie. Not where we know they should but where our actions show them to be. A heart truly rooted in Christ lets him spill out into all areas of our life in thought, word, and deed.
God please help all of us to desire you in this way and have Christ firmly rooted in our lives so that he impacts everything that we do.
