Good morning, Father! I’m so glad that we have this time together. Draw me close to Your side. Envelope me in Your love and presence. “Make me, mold me, fill me, use me” “Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me.”
Philippians 3:17-4:1 (<<click here)
“…stay true to the Lord…”
Committed, dedicated, going the right way – not veering to the right or left.
Lord, as I ponder Paul’s admonition to “pattern [our] lives after [his]” it brings to mind our great tendency as human beings – to follow people, to pick up their mental processes and the way they do things?
What a great responsibility I have! I know that people have their own responsibility to follow You, Jesus but many times they follow what they can see. Lord, enable me to be the kind of leader that You need me to be, staying true to You. I must remain committed to Your call on my life – not just as a pastor, though that is very important, but as Your follower. My life must be dedicated to embracing Your mindsets and attitudes as my own daily, minute by minute. This journey I am on must be aligned by You – You are my TRUE north, as such. You must be my aim, my goal. The only way for me to lead – is to follow! Please help me to “stay true” to You!
