How's Your Heart?
Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
We as Christians are NOT to conform to this world, but yet that is exactly what we are doing through our music, dress, talk etc. You say How is that? Our music by allowing CMC (contemporary Music), our dress by saying to reach these people I need to dress like them. No that isn't the case. Our talk, we use words that "technically" aren't curse words but one little slip of the tongue and you're cursing.
So I ask How's Your Heart?
Are you seeking all that Lord teaches?
Are you backslidden in an area?
We're not perfect by no means but we can do all that we can to be in the Bible and following after God's heart.
1. Deciding to Grow - Have you decided that you want to grow and be closer to the Lord on Sept 5, 2015 than you are today Sept 5, 2014? What can you do to be closer to the Lord in year?
a. Read your Bible daily - Not just 5 verses or a chapter here or there but really reading your Bible and studying and becoming more Christ like.
b. Praying daily - We're told to Pray without ceasing. Do we really do this?
You need to decided as a Christian wife that you WANT to Grow.
2. Tending your Growth - How can you do this?
a. Through Spiritual growth - make sure your seeing results through discipline. Be in Church, go soul-winning, be in the church activities, conferences etc.
b. Through Spiritual growth through self-denial. What is it in your life that you need to give up? Is it that tv program, or a magazine, maybe a book, music there are so many things one can deny themselves that is a hindrance to Spiritual growth.
3. Reaping God's Blessings - Do you as a wife who's wanting to be closer to the Lord want to benefit from his Blessings?
Galations 5:22 & 23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
Isn't it these things that we want as Christian wives? How do you behave? What do your children, friends, church family and husband see in your behavior? Do they see one out of control? unable to manage the daily things of life? Your life will be changed if you follow Galations 5:22 & 23.
How is your Heart?

I Peter 3:4 "But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." I love this verse for many reasons, one is that I have a book "Meek and Quiet Spirit" Written by a very godly lady - Mrs Cindy Hyles Schaap. I learned a lot from her book as young person as well as an adult. Another reason is We are to not have a corruptible heart. It's a reminder that we need to stay in the Bible and stay close to God as well as have a meek spirit, a quiet spirit.
