This message builds on last week’s message of building our journey on a bedrock of God’s grace and salvation.
Having established this bedrock, how can we go on to make good decisions?
In this chapter, Paul found himself in a lot of testing times (troubles, hardships, distresses, beratings, imprisonments, riots, sleepless nights, hunger, poverty…), yet made a lot of very counter intuitive good decisions (hard work, purity, understanding, patience, kindness, love, truthful speech, rejoicing, generosity).
I believe he could only make them because his life was underpinned with prayer.
A rhythm of prayer leads to a renewed heart that beats in time with God’s
FOR DISCUSSION
Assuming that godly rhythms underpin godly choices
- What practical rhythms (eg exercise, cleaning etc) do you have in your life? How do they help you?
- What spiritual rhythms do you have or would you like to have? How would they help?
- How can you develop your daily rhythm of prayer? What encouragement or good ideas could you offer to help others?
