Romans 12:4-5
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
What of Today’s Verse…
One of the key realities of Christianity is belonging. I belong! I belong to God. I belong to Jesus. I belong to Jesus’ body the Church. I have a place and a purpose in that body. I belong!
Let us Pray:
Help me, Father, to find the place where I’m supposed to fit in your body. Until then, I pledge to try all sorts of ministries so that your Spirit, and not just my own preference, will guide me into your place for me to serve. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.’Â
Words of Wisdom
Stop digging…
It is true that you must pay the price for your past mistakes. Yet that does not mean that you must keep making them. So often we adopt an attitude of “I’ll never get out of this” and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The truth is, you can start to get out of it right now, no matter what has happened in the past. You cannot change the past or its consequences, but you can immediately change the present, and make the future look infinitely brighter.
When you find yourself in a hole, it often seems that the only thing to do is to keep digging. But that will only get you in deeper. The first thing you must do is stop digging. As soon as you stop digging, even before you start climbing out, you’ve made a positive change.
Momentum can work either for you or against you, and it all depends on what direction you’re going. Momentum is not dependent on where you are, just on which way you’re headed. You can have positive momentum right this moment, regardless of what has happened in the past. All it takes is a change in direction. All it takes is to stop digging, and start climbing out. You got yourself here, and you can get yourself wherever you want to go. Direct your momentum toward where you want to be, and don’t stop until you’re there.
