Day 3: Equipped for the journey
Scripture: Romans 6:19
"Present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification."
The Christian life is a journey called sanctification. God is continually making us more like Jesus.
But no one goes on a difficult journey without preparation.
A hiker needs the proper equipment. Likewise, believers need spiritual tools for the journey ahead. God has provided everything we need:
His Word to guide us.
Prayer to strengthen us.
The Holy Spirit to lead us.
The church to encourage us.
Fellow believers to walk beside us.
The enemy gladly supplies everything needed for destruction. God supplies everything needed for transformation.
Sanctification happens one step at a time.
One prayer at a time.
One act of obedience at a time.
One day of trusting Jesus at a time.
Keep walking. Keep growing. Keep following the Shepherd.
Reflect:
Which spiritual disciplines need more attention in your life?
How can you better equip yourself for the journey of sanctification?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for giving me everything I need to follow You. Help me be disciplined in Your Word, pray
Memory Verse for the Week:
