A THANKFUL HEART - LIFE MATTERS SERIES S57E07

TOPIC: HABITS OF A THANKFUL HEART

KEY BIBLE VERSE: I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men,

Philippians 2:19‭-‬21‭, ‬27‭, ‬29 ESV

Reflect on Your Spiritual Heroes

So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men. (Philippians 2:27)

Near the top of my list of spiritual heroes is a woman named Prue Crane. By the world’s standards, Prue is an ordinary woman—an unmarried, middle-aged English teacher living in Bologna, Italy. But in God’s eyes, Prue is a spiritual giant whose sincere love for Jesus Christ and passion for serving others inspires and encourages everyone who knows her.

There are times when the Christian life can feel very lonely, especially for those of us who live and work in non-Christian places. Whenever I begin to feel discouraged or isolated, I think of Prue. Her example teaches me how to be a faithful witness and reminds me that I am not alone.

Paul knew the importance of Christian fellowship. These tender verses in Philippians reveal Paul’s gratitude to God for providing him with friends like Timothy and Epaphroditus. Paul’s ministry was not a one-man organization. He surrounded himself with people who worked with, encouraged, and supported him. Timothy, in particular, was a continual source of joy and thanksgiving for Paul. As he writes in 2 Timothy 1:3, “I thank God . . . as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.”

When you feel discouraged, call to mind some of your spiritual heroes and mentors. They are living, breathing examples of God’s faithfulness.

Reflect: Thank God today for your spiritual heroes and for the ways God has used them to minister to you.

WE HOPE YOU WERE BLESSED BY THIS EPISODE, PLS STAY TUNED FOR CONTINUATION TOMORROW BY GOD'S GRACE!

REMEMBER, WE LOVE YOU BUT GOD LOVES YOU MORE, STAY BLESSED, FOCUSED AND BE DETERMINED TO SHOW GRATITUDE ALWAYS

Devotional: Life Matters Discuss, Series 7

LIFE MATTERS DISCUSS, SERIES 7 TOPIC: WINNING THE WAR IN YOUR MIND 1 BIBLE REF: Philippians 4:8-9, Proverbs 23:7, Romans 12:1-2, 2Corithians 10:3-5 Our lives are always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. What we think shapes who we are. You might read that and think I’m being an overly dramatic preacher using hyperbole to get your attention. But this is no exaggeration. Our lives do follow the direction of our thoughts. The better we grasp that truth, the better equipped we’ll be to change the trajectory of our lives. But don’t take my word for it. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true. So throughout this Bible Plan, we’ll unpack both Scripture and what we’ve learned from scientific research. Here’s a brief example of both: In Philippians 4:8–9, the apostle Paul writes, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is exce...
