DISCOVER, EXPERIENCE AND SHARE GOOD VIBES!

Seek a place of quietude and gratitude. Focus your heart and mind on the Divine, read His Word, learn His Word, express our gratitude, bring our prayers to Him, and engage in serving people in need. Here are today’s GOOD VIBES:

“My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand.” —Edward Mote

DAY TEN

Read Ephesians 5:1-2
“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.”

Understand:
Walk in love. These three words inspire, stirring us to love others with the love we received from Jesus. But the apostle Paul didn’t stop with inspiration, he moved on to instruction. And then, to strengthen his instruction, Paul pointed us to the individual who can be an example for us – Christ Jesus is our model for what walking in love looks like.

On the cross, Christ presented Himself to God as an offering. Paul adds it was a “fragrant offering,” a phrase that appears forty times in the first five books of the Old Testament. The Lord’s sacrifice was pleasing to His Father and was accepted as the means of being made right. When a Christian identifies with Christ in His death, the believer’s life becomes an acceptable sacrifice to God.

Real love—Christ-like love—makes sacrifices for the good of others and the glory of God. This kind of costly love has a sweetness to it that others find attractive and encouraging. This love not only smells good, but it sounds good as well. There is something uplifting about being around people who have a song in their heart and encouragement on their lips. You notice these rare individuals and appreciate them because they are so refreshing to be around.

A life that is like the love of God, will be a life of love. Love is the essential mark of the Christian’s character. Our model for love is Christ Himself. Because He laid down His life for us, we are to love others to the point of the sweet aroma of sacrifice. He now lives in us and through us, and that is why we are able to imitate Him and resemble Him.

“Lord, teach me to walk in love—staying close to You—so that Your presence will be a winsome aroma and a sweet song of worship to those around me. Amen”

I am grateful for these three things today:

DISCOVER, EXPERIENCE AND SHARE GOOD VIBES!


Seek a place of quietude and gratitude. Focus your heart and mind on the Divine, read His Word, learn His Word, express our gratitude, bring our prayers to Him, and engage in serving people in need. Here are today’s GOOD VIBES:


“Occasionally in life, there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.” ― Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

DAY EIGHT


Read 1st Peter 3:10-12 For the one who wants to love life and to see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit, 11 and he must turn away from evil and do good. He must seek peace and pursue it, 12 because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are open to their request. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

Understand:
Today’s passage isn’t playing around. The tongue – our words have great power. They can speak truth and life and they, just as easily speak deceit and hate. Apart from the power of the Divine at work in your heart, you cannot tame your tongue. Isn’t it interesting how the words immediately following the statement about our words (tongue) speak of turning from evil and turning our hearts toward peace? That is because of verse 12. The Lord desires to hear us call on Him and Him alone for strength, might, power and peace, Today, call on the Lord. Allow Him to direct your steps and control your words!

I am grateful for these three things today:
