I hope everyone found day Six to be challenging when listing specific areas in our life that needed to be transformed. Hopefully we all listed honestly what our thoughts are so that during these next 30 or so days we can begin to peel back the layers and open our minds to let God transform us. This morning while doing this exercise I went to Ephesians. I found something in scripture to back up everyone of these areas. I found it encouraging in my own way. What do you think?
Physical Health: Eph. 5:28-29 "In the same way, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hates his own flesh, but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church."
Finances: Eph. 6-8 "knowing that whatever good each one does, slave or free, he will receive this back from the Lord."
Family Relationships: Eph. 6:4 " [Mothers] do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Non-Family Relationships: Eph. 4:1-4 "I, therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, accepting one another in love, 3 diligently keeping the unity of the Spirit with the peace that binds [us]."
Time Management: Eph. 6:15-16 "Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise— 16 making the most of the time, because the days are evil."
Attitude: Eph. 6:20 "giving thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,"
Discipline: Eph. 5:1-2 "Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children. 2 And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God."
Spiritual Health: Eph. 6:18 "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."
I pray that you guys are transformed in all of these areas. I think Paul knew what he was talking about!! Praise God!
