September 2006

Hello Sisters!

Sometimes the Bible has scriptures that are kind of hard to understand -- and others are so crystal clear they stop us in our tracks.  That's my opinion of this month's guiding scripture:

Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial.

How many times have you engaged in an activity or thought or whatever that doesn't specifically break one of God's commandments or man's rules, yet you know it's not good for you as a child of God? 

Let's look at some examples:

Wasting money on silly trinkets.
Eating too much junk food.
Not exercising.
Postponing studying your Bible "until tomorrow."
Deciding to clean when you have more time.

How many other examples are specific to your life?

Guiding Scripture...

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2

In addition to Romans 12:2, this month's scripture offers common sense advice for living.

Everything is permissible,
but not everything
is beneficial.
1 Corinthians 10:23

Write this scripture down and post it in a frequented area so it will become a part of your mind,
your heart, and your soul.

I implore you, sister, to apply this scripture to your daily life.

If something isn't beneficial to your life as a daughter of God, then why should you allow it to be permissible in your life?

Prayerfully look at your life.

Identify things that you are allowing (that are permissible) even though they are not beneficial.

Determine a specific plan to eliminate those thoughts, actions and attitudes that are not beneficial.

Look at everything as if looking through the eyes of God.

Make changes as necessary.  START TODAY, then let me hear from you as you find the joy and freedom of escaping things that are permissible but not necessarily beneficial.

Blessings to you on your Journey To Renewal.....

PRAYER
Holy God, too often we skate by. We drop our standards -- YOUR standards -- and allow things in our lives that are permissible but certainly not beneficial. Remind us that we are YOUR representatives on earth. Give us wisdom to see areas in our lives that need change -- and give us strength to make those changes.
AMEN!!!
