Going deeper...to go further

This month we’re using the daily Bible reading plan to do a Spiritual MOT as we prepare for the journey ahead. Often times it is easy for us to focus on the "paint job" of outward appearances, but God looks directly at the engine room of the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). 2 Corinthians 13:5 calls us to examine ourselves to ensure our faith is genuine and active.

The reading plan starts with a couple days of preparation, followed by four weeks of honest reflection before the Lord. Each day, as we read the Scripture, we need to as ask the Holy Spirit: "Is this an area where I need you to help me work on?" If so, what does that change look like in your life? This isn't meant to bring condemnation; it's a beautiful opportunity for calibration and getting right with God.

Our prayer response: "Lord, examine me. Search my heart. Reveal anything that hinders my walk with You. Repair what is broken, realign what has drifted, remove what does not belong, and fill me afresh with Your Spirit. Make me a trustworthy vessel, ready for Kingdom purpose and faithful until the day I stand before You. Amen."

Spiritual MOT: Oil, brakes & steering

Where do I know God's instruction but delay obedience?

James 1:22-25

Do what the Word says22-24You deceive yourselves if you only listen to God's Word. You need to do what He says, for the person who listens to the Word but fails to act on it is like someone who sees his face in a mirror and then immediately forgets what he looks like.25By contrast, the person who takes seriously what God commands us to do enjoys freedom. He continues to obey because he does not forget what he has heard, and so is blessed in what he does.

John 14:21-24

21"Who really loves Me? The one who not only has My commands but obeys them! Anyone who genuinely loves Me like that will be loved by My Father. I will also love him and will continue to reveal Myself to him."22Then the other Judas (not Iscariot) asked: "Lord, why will You reveal yourself to us, but not to everyone in the world?"23Jesus answered: "If anyone genuinely loves Me, he will put My teaching into practice. My Father will love him and both He and I will come and live with him. Yes, we will make our home with him.24But anyone who does not love Me will not obey what I have said. What I tell you is not My own teaching; it comes from the Father who sent Me!
