Going deeper...to go further

This month we’re using the daily Bible reading plan to do a Spiritual MOT as we prepare for the journey ahead. Often times it is easy for us to focus on the "paint job" of outward appearances, but God looks directly at the engine room of the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). 2 Corinthians 13:5 calls us to examine ourselves to ensure our faith is genuine and active.

The reading plan starts with a couple days of preparation, followed by four weeks of honest reflection before the Lord. Each day, as we read the Scripture, we need to as ask the Holy Spirit: "Is this an area where I need you to help me work on?" If so, what does that change look like in your life? This isn't meant to bring condemnation; it's a beautiful opportunity for calibration and getting right with God.

Our prayer response: "Lord, examine me. Search my heart. Reveal anything that hinders my walk with You. Repair what is broken, realign what has drifted, remove what does not belong, and fill me afresh with Your Spirit. Make me a trustworthy vessel, ready for Kingdom purpose and faithful until the day I stand before You. Amen."

Spiritual MOT: Lights, tyres & exhaust

What does my character reveal about what is filling my heart?

Luke 6:43-45

The nature of the heart43"A good tree does not bear rotten fruit; neither does a rotten tree produce good fruit.44The health of each tree is recognised by the nature of the fruit it bears. People cannot pick figs from thorn bushes, nor can they gather grapes from bramble bushes!45"The good man does good deeds because he has a good heart; the evil man does evil things because of the evil in his heart. What a man says is the product of the nature of his heart!

Galatians 5:22-26

22-23However, the fruit the Spirit produces in you is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. There is no law against such things!24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed to the cross their passions and desires that contradict the Spirit!25So if we live by the Spirit, let us keep ourselves in line with what the Spirit desires.26Let us not become conceited, neither provoking nor envying one another.
