Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2,7
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith. Endure your trials as “discipline”; God treats you as sons. For what “son” is there whom his father does not discipline?
Thought: Reflect on the things that keep you from drawing closer to Jesus. Be disciplined so as to not be disciplined.
Application: Change behaviors one at a time. Insert something positive where sin usually takes over. Find a more prayerful life outside of Sunday, mealtime and bedtime. Dig deeper than a habit to look for meaningful change in actual behaviors.
Response: Father help me to see my failures and to be refined in the fire of your love. Keep my eyes on you each day so that my behavior is your behavior, behavior that will make you proud of the change. I pray that when I act, they see You. Let me be your light in the world as I hold onto your word in my life. Amen
