Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “birling.” Have you ever felt like your life is
spinning, but not going anywhere? I know sometimes I get in the middle of doing
life and realize that I am not being as productive as I should be. That is when I need to step back and remember
what my goals are. The bible is pretty clear about keeping your priorities
straight, and that no matter what you do, to do it with the intention of
pleasing God.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for
the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or
the church of God — even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I
am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.” ~1
Cor 10:31-33
My question is: what are your intentions behind the actions
you take? We are given a ton of freedom
in our relationship with Jesus. And, no
matter how much we stay in line with his teachings, that freedom will always
outweigh the responsibilities that we have because we are Christians. I have done life without a relationship with
Jesus. And I've done life with that
relationship. The former made me feel
like I was in a Burling contest. Whereas
the latter surprisingly has helped lower my stresses and concerns. Not that life has been any easier, as a
matter of fact it has not been. But,
knowing that I have Jesus on my side allows me to move forward with confidence
in my decisions and actions. Setting my
sights on him keeps me grounded, knowing that I am making good and informed
decisions. My prayer is that you focus on a life where JC is central in
pointing your directions in the proper ways.
Praying for you,
MO
