MEMORY VERSE SELECTIONS

   

Rom. 6:16 “Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?”

Mt. 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.  You cannot serve both God and Money.”

RESOURCES

CHALLENGE

 

Worship is the idea of worth-ship, the value we place on something or someone.  This value or worth increases as we invest our thoughts, words and actions and resources into it.  The answer to the following question clearly indicates the object of our worship.  Be honest and cautious as you answer it. 

What occupies your thoughts, words, actions and investment of time more than anything else in the routines of daily life? More importantly, how do you want to invest your life?  What do you want to fill your “shopping cart of life” more than anything else?  Great questions with great answers that can empower each of us to live new lives! 

JOURNAL:

Open your heart and meet with the Lord through the process of prayer and writing.  Allow the Holy Spirit to have His way.  Let Him point out how your excellent desires line up, or don’t line up with how much value you give to whatever it is that occupies your thoughts, words and actions.
