countering culture with the TRUTH of GOD's word
This week we are going to focus each day on better physical health. I have decided that to help guide myself through my own journey (and perhaps help you on your own) that it would be best to focus on a specific topic each week. This week is better health. Each day this week I will provide affirmations, scriptures, and daily challenges regarding this topic. Next week will be a new one!
It is amazing how quickly the busyness of life can occupy our thoughts and time leaving very little left for the people and our God who matter most to us.
It is a new day, and a new week. The things of our past have passed away. This is the moment we have been given. So let us be thankful and face the day renewed, refreshed, and restored.
It is easy to forget that our bodies and minds need literal rest. Not just because it's good practice to rest, but because God also commanded it (Exodus 20:8-11). With each of our morning and evening disciplines we are striving to find peace and rest every day in Jesus. But there is something special about resting from our work.
Lately I have become convicted about my lack of self discipline in pretty much all areas of my life. As I've meditated on the concept of discipline and how it currently looks in my life I have come to a startling and helpful realization: I am not prepared to be self disciplined because my mind is not prepared. Thus, the predicament I find myself in.
