Lauren Daigle – You Say (Official Music Video)

Here I am reading all about blood in Leviticus and all I can think of is communion. What do I take from that as a disciple?  If all I have is my belief on Christ for the forgiveness of sin, I am missing out on the constant, daily spiritual strength and nourishment that God offers through His word.

When I do not, could I fall into the same misstep where the people were found worshipping goat demons? This in the midst of everyone believing in the true worship of God and being discipled in that by Moses. How could they worship anything else – how could I – but we do, I do – especially if my relationship with God is not everyday.

Holiness is not a private business for just one compartment of my life. Every aspect of my life I want claimed by God. A weird thought – if I believe that Jesus is returning one day, how do I not see the harm in storing up treasure here on earth?

That brings me right back to Paul. He has this amazing experience with Jesus and asks one question – what would you have me do? It is good news for me today because it reveals the power of prayer – humbled sinner type of prayer for salvation. Moved from saying my prayers to praying them. Grace does that. I would like to think that you might as well find a person living without breath as a living follower of Jesus who does not pray. I am not trying to be too holy here – and I love Ananias for being such a great example, for even he staggered at the commands that were given to him. So I see that I live this way not because of who I am but because of who the Holy Spirit is – He takes away my scales of ignorance and pride and the sinner becomes a new person.

Hello Tabitha – what a great testimony of a life who came to serve. She did some amazing things for people, especially for the poor, an expression of active compassion and mercy. She did not organize events or activities, she personally performed these charitable expressions of deeds. I am challenged again today that believing is not enough. A changed life looks and seeks to be Jesus in their world, as I need to be in my world.
