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: Identity check and engine health check

Is God's Word shaping my decisions and priorities?

2 Timothy 3:14-17

Importance of scripture14But you are to continue in what you have learned and have believed, knowing from whom you learned these things.15From early childhood you have been familiar with the holy scriptures which give you revelation about the salvation that comes through faith in Christ Jesus.16-17God has breathed His life and truth into all scripture which is therefore beneficial for teaching what is right, rebuking what is wrong, bringing correction and instruction and equipping people for righteousness so that the man of God may be ready for every good work.

Matthew 4:1-11

Jesus in the wilderness1Then the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert where He had to be subjected to temptation from the devil.2During a period of forty days and nights He fasted, after which He was hungry.3The tempter came to Jesus suggesting: "If You are really God's Son, You could command these stones to become bread, and so satisfy Your hunger."4Jesus replied: "It is written: 'Man is not to live only on bread, but he is to feed on every word that comes from God's mouth.'"5Then the devil took Him in a vision to the holy city, to stand on the highest part of the temple.6"If You are really God's Son," the devil suggested, "You could do something truly spectacular. For if You jumped from here to the ground You know what is written: 'God will command His angels on your behalf. They will catch hold of you in their hands and prevent you from striking a single stone with your foot.'"7Jesus replied: "It is also written: 'You are not to put the Lord your God to the test!'"8In another vision, the devil took Jesus to the top of a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in their splendour.9"All these I will give You," he lied, "if only You will bow down before me in worship."10Jesus said to him: "Get away from me satan! For it is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him.'"11Defeated, the devil then left Him and angels came to be with Jesus.
