GMG Intentionally Focused Study Week 7 Day 3

1Timothy 1:5

S:  She must be well respected by everyone because of the good she has done.  Has she brought up her children well?  Has she been kind to strangers and served other believers humbly?  Has she helped those who are in trouble. ?  Has she always been ready to do good?

O:  Respected by everyone.  Raised her children well.  Kind to strangers.  Served humbly.  Helped the troubled.  Always ready to do good.   EVERYONE and ALWAYS stick out to me.

A:  This is a heavy scripture.  It gives me a sense of the enormity of God's calling.  However, bringing it back into perspective, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did this for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it for me'. ~Matthew 25:40  This gives me a little sigh of relief that I am called to do these things but not let myself get overwhelmed.  Touch those God puts in my life in a way He would have me to be used.

P:  Father, thank you for your word this morning and every morning.  I now can't starting a day without your guidance.  Help me to recognize and follow your direction with all the tasks you lay before me.  Help me to be hospitable in all ways and in all situations.  Thank you for your holy spirit living in me to show me the way.  Let my flesh be ever obedient to you.

~Amen
