What is saving your life today?
At the end of every Jen Hatmaker’s “For the Love” podcasts, she asks her guest this question. The answers are so different and varied.
What is saving my life today is understanding and believing who God says I am. Colossians 3:10 “For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God.”
Ephesians 4:22 “And he has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self-life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions.”
Lord, what do you want me to know today?
I am listening and hearing that I am to trust that there is no way to God apart from the real world where I live, being in relationship with the people in my life. Leaning in and loving and supporting them in good times and difficult times.
Lord, what do you want me to do today?
He told me to do anything that pleases me AND belong to me! I think I make this way more complex than it needs to me. Do what pleases me, what I like to do; meet friends for coffee, read, study and learn. AND, acknowledge that I belong to the Lord. He is my strength and support. He is my rock to lean on. I belong to Jesus my Lord!
Take time today to ask yourself and the Lord these questions. Then spend a little time listening to what he says. You’ll be amazed at what He says to you!
