Today during my QT, I am going to read through the last scripture exercise today in the Read Prayerfully chapter which is Phil 4:8-9. I am looking for illustrations of the characteristics in this passage that I see in My life...
True - the Word; Noble - Jesus dying for me; people serving others; Right - what God smiles at like the precious moments I get to spend with my kids each day as a stay at home mom teaching them about You and hugging them whenever they'll let me; Pure - the innocence of a child, their laughter and discovery, worship; Lovely - nature, people listening to and helping others; Admirable - doing the right thing, especially when it is unpopular; Excellent - seeing ambassadors for Christ represent Him; Praiseworthy - God's love, peace, timing, and will for my family and I
The 2nd and 3rd questions were about what I think God specifically needs to change or help me to cultivate after reading this passage? There are a lot, but here are some that came to mind instantly...
- intentionally using kind, encouraging words
-honoring and lifting up my husband, we are too sarcastic sometimes :)
-having more patience with the little day to day things
-judging others
-consistent prayer time for others and going out of my way to encourage those I shepherd
-see the big picture as far as that there is a whole world full of people out there that He loves but I don't know a whole lot about or can relate to
-be in tune with Holy Spirit
