If we, as Keith has said, are to be rebuilt, we must first take stock of where we are.
We are going to take the next couple of days to pray and assess several areas of our life. The hope is that through this reflection, we will see accurately pieces of our lives and hearts that need attention.
As we pay attention to those areas, we will see the Lord move in us as individuals, and in us as a body. We cannot change what we don’t pay attention to.
- As you think back over the past couple of years, where are you at relationally with the Lord? How would you describe your relationship with Him right now?
- What are the parts of your relationship that are growing and thriving?
- What are the areas where you see gaps or hard spots?
- What are the circumstances that have contributed to the hard spots?
Colossians 2:6-7; 3:1-3
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
