Monday Motivation

Live a Life That Is Respected.

Mondays are a perfect day to reset and realign our priorities, plans and vision. The cares of the week haven't disrupted or derailed our plans yet and with a positive outlook, we can view Mondays as a clean slate, ready and open to be filled with good plans.

For a few weeks, I am planning to share a Monday Motivation - a topic with practical application for women who love the Lord and those who are looking to walk genuinely in a way that pleases Him.

These motivations will share some great characteristics, with a practical application we can use all week long. Today we begin with Living a life that is respected.

Your influence is only as good as your respectability. Respect is earned daily. It's not a title on your name tag. Live in such a way that there's no room for anyone to think negatively of you. Walk consistently with Jesus, serve Him with great joy, treat others with gentleness and kindness and diligently seek wisdom from God's Word. Be known as a woman of goodness, love and discretion.

Obviously we don't read a post and plan to enter a respected life, like anything worth doing, there is a process, a step and then another step in the right direction. Daily choices made consistently in turn begin to affect our behavior. Opening our heart and asking God to fill it with His goodness, lays the foundation. What are some things you will begin today to strive toward godly respectability?

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?” This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us. Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God. There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice. We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it. Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God. He is the I AM – no one else is. When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him. Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
