Idem (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Good morning lasdies,

The word of the day is “idem.”  I think one of the toughest parts about Christianity is keeping consistent.  I remember when I was brand-new in the faith, my pastor told me that if I could get a little bit better each day then I would lead an extraordinary life for God.  Although I feel I'm far from where I would like to be, I do know that taking his advice and becoming just a little bit better each day keeps me striving to do more.

“Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”
~1 Cor 15:58


My question is: what do you spend the majority of your time giving your focus?  Just like giving your all when it comes to school or sports, God deserves your best as well.  What I love most about the Christian life is that I'm not expected to be perfect, but I am expected to strive for perfection, making each day an idem of the last.  My prayer is that you live a life reaching for that excellence.

Praying for you,

Sapient (Proverbs 12:15)

Good morning ladies,

The word of the day is “sapient.” I love reading the book of Proverbs because when I do not know exactly what to read I open it up and get good stuff, every time!  To think of the wisdom that King Solomon had is incredible.  I feel like those proverbs speak into my life and give me great insight.  One of my most favrit verses in that book is this one on advice and wisdom.

“The way of a fool seems right to them, but a wise person listens to advice.”
~Pr. 12:15


My question is: who is it that you have given the ability to speak into your life? I know that I would not be where I am today, nor be the person I am without the advice of many people who have walked the road before me.  I give a lot of weight to certain peeps in my life to help me make decisions and move in positive directions. My prayer is that you find men and women that are seeking God daily, and give them permission to help you grow closer to God. 

Praying for you,

mo
