This week on the UP, IN, OUT HABITS page, there are three more suggested practices The purpose of these habits is to allow God to use them to shape us more and more into the image of Jesus. Solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. Hebrews 5:14 (NAS) Consider your spiritual habits as training in discerning and living out spiritual truth.
UP – Stop and thank God for His good creation, for the work of your hands and minds, and for the simple things we take for granted – remembering we are never entitled but truly blessed by God.
IN – Share your life struggles with a trusted friend or mentor. Talk about what God is showing you in your life!
OUT – Take a friend or co-worker to lunch; be a friend without an agenda
PAUSE: Tonight take 3 minutes and review with God how you spent your time, was there time with your Heavenly Father, have you spent time in community this week? How is your OUT? Over the top or under served?
Remember
TRUTH WON’T CHANGE YOU UNTIL YOU PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
We are educated far beyond our obedience. Our goal is for each one to have one relationship with one person who seems far from God. Mark Batterson
