EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Psalm 51:10-11
“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.”
Every day is an opportunity to get right with the Lord and to have His word be the cleansing water that flushes out all sin and renews our hearts! When we do this we are standing strong and becoming disciples for the Lord.
Our walk with the Lord should be a purposeful walk, one that delivers hope to those in need of change. It takes an act of deliberate obedience daily to come before the Lord in a humble manner, placing all pride aside and claiming the direction that has been pre-planned for you.
Jesus wants committed disciples ready and heart-changed to follow Him. God will equip you to follow through on the Word of God. Don’t waver back and forth with one foot in the world and the other indecisively following Him. Yes, we are magnets to sin, and so it is important to be mindful and aware of God’s presence and to keep ourselves clean before Him. Do this throughout your day and repeatedly cleanse your minds when you have the slightest inkling of stepping out of His path.
Take up His cross daily and follow Him.
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let Him deny himself and take up his cross and follow ME.”
