SPIRITUAL WARDROBE

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , , ,


Yesterday, I forgot to put on one of my earrings after my hair appointment. I did a few errands and later when I realized what I had done was curious what people thought as they looked at me. I did a facebook post that spoke to what had happened and what I had learned from it. It follows:

“The Lord reminds me not to take things that don’t matter too seriously! LOL! One earring…mismatched shoes…clothes inside out…. not that important in the grand scheme of things!😃”

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I let my attention and time be focused on those things that are so unimportant. I am reminded on what “clothing” I should focus on “wearing.”

What is in our “closet?” Are we forgetting to “put on” essential clothing? I know I have been trying to prune and simplify my closet(s) at home. I think I need to do a spiritual pruning!! I need to update and strengthen my spiritual wardrobe. Would you like to join me? The Scriptures below will give us a checklist on what we should focus on “wearing” each day. May we not leave the house without doing the “clothing check” below!!!

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

A Call To Humility

Jesus reminds us that we are to humbly serve and minister to His people. It’s not always possible to physically wash someone else’s feet. I believe Jesus did this not only as a physical example of how to humbly serve others…but I believe He did it as a spiritual example of how we are to humbly position ourselves to serve others. It is a reminder that sometimes in the serving, we have to be willing to do the job that we may feel is “beneath us.” Brothers & Sisters, may we truly have a “servant heart” and serve our Lord Jesus by serving His people. ❤️

“Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.” (Matthew 10:40 NASB1995)

SHINE ON!!

Good morning! Let your “light” shine today (and everyday)!

But, notice that we don’t let ourselves do good works so that we can be noticed and acclaimed…but we do good works so that our Father in heaven will get the glory. It is in and through Him that we are able to do exceedingly well all of the good works that He desires for us to do.

AND He prepared the good works that we are to do before we even do them! So, naturally He should get the glory and recognition.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

Shine on, Brothers & Sisters…for the glory of God!! 💥

Is Jesus Your Lord & Savior?

Dearest ones, have you been rescued by Father God? Have you received redemption in and through Jesus Christ, His Son? Are you living confidently in the kingdom of God knowing the truth of your identity in Christ? If you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, are you ready to?

“…if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭

God Has a Plan

Do you know that God has had a plan for your life before you were even born? That plan is still in effect even if you have made some wrong choices in your life. That plan is still in effect even if you have strayed in your relationship with Him.

It’s time to get back on track! Find a quiet place today that you can simply sit in His presence and talk with Him. It’s NOT too late! He loves you so much and He will help you to find His path for your life again. Are you ready to make the journey WITH Him and not on your own? He is ready!

“…I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
