1. 1 Timothy 4 :15 Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.
God wants my spiritual progress to be evident to all! I never thought that He might want to show others how He was working in my life, although it should have been obvious, because if He is working in my life, He will get the glory, and why are we created? To give Him glory. So I will try and be more transparent with my spiritual walk. : )
2. We have a CD called Sounds Like Home which has a song which every time it plays is really convicting. The chorus goes like this:
Did you tell someone about Jesus?
Did you mention His name to a friend?
Did you warn the stranger who's lost and undone
That death is the wages of sin?
Did you show them the plan of salvation?
Did you tell them He's coming again?
Did you talk about Jesus or the things of this world?
Did you tell someone about Him?
That is sooo convicting for me! "Did you talk about Jesus or the things of this world?" I like never talk about Jesus but rather talk about "the things of this world". I am too afraid. I think it is a common problem for Christians nowadays... which is really sad. I think it gets easier with practise though, and the better my relationship with the Lord gets, the more I will want to share about Him.
3. Psalm 45: 10-11
Listen, O daughter,
Consider and incline your ear;
Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
Because He is your Lord, worship Him.
I first noticed these verses because of the fact that it says "daughter", and the Bible usually refers to people as "men" or "my son" etc. I really have been thinking about it in the last few days though, because it says to forget our family and friends and to focus on God. And I usually do the exact opposite. I focus on other people's weaknesses instead of coming in humility to God, and focusing on Him.
