Real Life Problems...

Have you ever poured a lot of spiritual attention into your quiet time and then left it behind to face the problems of the day in your own strength? This is called compartmentalization or confining your spiritual life to an exclusive part of the day. But Jesus never intended for us to go it alone. He is eager to help us solve life's problems. The risen Christ really does want to invade our human circumstances and carry on a dialogue with us throughout the day, and to pass it on to others. Life is a journey and Christ wants to be our companion on it,not just someone who talked to us on our last rest stop...So take the spiritual encounter that you had with your Christ and let Him take on some of those Real Life Problems...

Giving An account of Ourselves

For most of us, it is a daunting thought; One day, perhaps soon, we'll come face to face with our Heavenly father, and we'll be called to account for our actions here on earth. our personal histories will certainly not be surprising to God; He already knows everything about us. But the full scope of our activities may be surprising to us: some of us will be pleasantly surprised; others will not be.
Today, do whatever you can to ensure that your thoughts and your deeds are pleasing to your Creator. Because we will , at some point in the future, be called to account for our actions. And the future may be sooner than you think...

"Yes, each of us will have to give a personal account to God."
Romans 14:12 NLT

Success or failure can be pretty well predicted by the degree to which the heart is fully in it.
