Step Toward A Godly Walk

Demonstrated in Action

Finally, dear brothers and sisters,[a] we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. 1 Thessalonians 4:1

week ending 6/27/2010

The Season After Pentecost

stir up within us the desire to

transform into Easter people.

Step Toward A Godly Walk uses the International Sunday School Lessons in the hopes more Christians will take Jesus with them throughout the day. And The New Living Translation of The Bible because that is the one easiest for me to understand and apply to my life. Maybe if more of us are reading the same scriptures we can use our discussions to expose others to the Living Word of God and the Savior he provided for us all in a positive way.

Prepare your mind to being shaped by God....
Close your eyes and use your breathing to set the rhythm of your prayer.

As you breath in.......relax.....
imagine drawing into yourself
the goodness of
Jesus.
Love, Forgiveness, Peace, Holiness
As you breath out....relax further.........imagine letting go and giving out:
hate, resentment, revenge, unkindness.

Read just the scripture for today.....don't try to read ahead......what is God saying to you .....just for today ?
Sincere comments and questions welcome comforts@bluefieldassistant.net and if you have read a commentary for one of the scripture readings - -PLEASE send me the link.
