Cultivate What Matters

Good morning Family, Happy Sabbath! Praise God for bringing you through another week! God loves you. I love you. Take a moment to rest in God’s presence. Let’s sing, We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing; He chastens and hastens His will to make known. The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing. Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own! We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant, And pray that Thou still our defender wilt be. Let Thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free! Today’s verse is from Galatians 5:24. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Our flesh wants to get even, but the Spirit calls us to extend kindness. Our flesh wants to entertain sinful thoughts, but the Spirit calls us to walk in self-control. Our flesh wants to dictate our emotional response, but the Spirit calls us to walk in joy and peace. Actively seek God and reject disobedience. What steps do you need to take to "crucify" beliefs and attitudes pulling you away from God? Let the Holy Spirit show you what you need to remove, and then allow Him to transform your attitudes, actions, and desires. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
