Good Morning Word Wrestling Wonder Workers! Amen! There's a hymn that goes, "Just as I am without one plea..." God loves us and accepts us as we are. He forgives and helps us to repent. He created us in His image and to become more like Jesus and to work wonders in His Kingdom. How's that going? God has impressed heavily that we are to seek Him for a word He desires us to work on in our journey toward Christlikeness. , funny thing, as I tuned into Air 1 Christian radio, they have a word challenge going on. People have been praying for God to give them a word and help to grow in that. Words like patience, faith, love, serving, and reading the Bible more have been offered up. I love when God affirms what He is leading to and revealing through doing the same with other ministries! Thanks Lord. So be still. Seek God and ask Him for your word to work on this year--all year.
I am still praying for those of you who picked a word in '23 and have seen growth through your focus on those words and the correctives needed. I'd like to challenge you to consider a new word this year since there has been growth even if you don't see it. Maybe you need to read your Bibles more? Maybe turn off the noise of the media for a few hours a day to focus on God or to go out and serve? Maybe you need to work on encouraging? Maybe you need to find a team to pray, discern and serve with? The opportunities are as varied and vast as each of you. Do you need to be a peace or joy bringer and work on peace and joy in yourself? Maybe you need to find and step into your role in God's Good News Delivery Company? Maybe you need to work at interceding and praying more earnestly? Maybe God is calling you to radical giving and learning to trust Him as you tithe? Seek first His Kingdom and He will reveal what He is providing for you to grow more like Jesus and in your walk as His child. When you settle on a word share that with Sarah, Mike or me and we will pray for you and encourage you throughout the year. Find some teammates and accountability partners to share your word with so you can pray, encourage and hold each other accountable. God has great plans for you and you have great potential in Christ and the help of the Holy Spirit to grow more like Jesus and into the person you are created and gifted to be. I'm praying for you and looking forward to working together to see our whole Body growing and maturing and serving more like Jesus. That is how we grow at becoming a dynamic movement of God.
So, Word Wrestling Wonder Worker remember God will accept and use you as you are and even can bring miracles alive in, through or around you. PTL! But He also wants you to grow and prepare for your future with Him in heaven. We do have a future and a hope and this life is preparation for the one to come and as we serve and work wonders in Christ we are building treasure in heaven. Amen!
What's God saying to you and what will you do about it? I'd love hear and so would your teammates! Shalom! Follow peace as God leads you . Be still and know and prepare to go with Christ to His future for you. Amen!
