2. Are you using your gifts, strengths, and talents on a daily basis? If not, why not.
3. What will you do today to put the qualities that God has blessed you with into action?
4. Write or say a prayer expressing your gratitude to the Lord for who He created you to be?

A Season Of Change

A Season Of Change

A season of change has definitely arrived. Springtime is here and just about all of the signs of winter have passed away.  Depending on where you live you may have noticed greenery and flowers blooming in areas that were once dry and barren.

Another change that occurs this time of year is that many people do their spring cleaning. They make sure that each room in the house would pass any white glove inspection. And racing to get rid of things that haven’t been used in years becomes top priority.

Let’s look at deep cleaning from a spiritual point of view. What needs to be changed in this area of your life?  Let’s make a commitment to do a thorough inward examination of our own souls.  The soul consists of our minds, wills, and emotions.

We have to truthfully answer some serious questions such as, are our thoughts and motives pure?  Have we submitted our wills to the will of the Lord or do we live our lives without even considering Him?  Do we have control of our emotions or do we let our emotions control us?  How is our love walk?  Are we expressing love in a way that God would be pleased?  How is our tone when we talk to people?  There are so many other things that can be added to this list, but the point is that the Lord wants us to live with hearts that seek to please Him.

As we experience the beauty, newness, and good changes in this new season let’s remember to take a spiritual inventory and determine what needs to be eliminated from our lives. The Lord is so willing to help us make that change, we just have to submit those things to Him and follow His lead.

 

Reflections

  • When was the last time that you did a thorough spiritual examination? 

 

  • Does your way of doing things line up with God’s way of doing things?

 

  • What steps will you take to remove those things that are contrary to God’s way of doing things?

 

It is our goal to bring you anointed words and services that inspire, encourage, and foster a closer relationship with the Lord. We thank God for you and want you to know that you’re always welcome at The Angelic Pen, “Where the words of heaven flow from God’s Heart to your spirit.”  Kimberly Smith
