S - Luke 11:17 "But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls."
Luke 11:28 "But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”
O - Unified. One purpose. One goal. Things just tend to work better when everyone is on the same page. I find this to be true in my work place too. It helps when we all have the same focus. How much more important when building a household. To come under the authority of God and obey His commandments.
A - Today's email had a couple of questions to answer:
What’s your family’s purpose? In other words, what business is your family in?
My desire for my business/purpose is to bring glory to the Lord. That His name would be proclaimed and others would come to know Him because of the love and service we extend.
If I'm accomplishing this goal, then I am getting used up for Jesus. I am interacting with my neighbors and inviting them to church. I am going out of my way to meet the needs of those that need it. I am loving even when it is hard and I am growing in the knowledge of my Savior everyday.
P - Lord I pray that every part of me...my thoughts, my feelings, my actions...everything falls under your leadership with one purpose and goal in mind. Please unify my thoughts, feelings and actions to be in one accord with You.
Karlyn, thank you so much for praying for Tim. That means so much to me. Also, I definitely think your friend calling to walk was a God thing! How exciting to see Him opening up doors we never thought possible. I'll keep praying for both of us as we reach out to our neighbors and those around us.
Thank you for doing this with me!!! I need accountability so bad.
