Spiritual Renewal
‘So we make it our goal to please him,
whether we are at home in the body or away from it.’
(2 Corinthians 5:9)
A few years ago, God challenged me in this wonderful verse. From now on and
through all eternity, the goal of our lives is to please the Lord. This is the path of spiritual
renewal whether for an individual or a church. How do we please him? By listening to what he
tells us in his word,trusting it and obeying it. Have you noticed that so many people these days are
seeking to find their own goal in life, based usually on where they think will find happiness?
But true joy is to be found in the wholehearted service of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That’s what really matters.
Question for thought: What is the goal of my life? What should it be?
Gracious Lord, we bring before you our sisters in Katanga in DR Congo where there
is ongoing instability. Help members as they care for family and friends in their
community and provide support, helping them to get the support they need.
We ask that their faith in you will not grow weary in these times.
May they continue to look to you their strength and shield. Amen
