Deliberate is the
word that I have chosen for 2019. With a move in this new year, I think it will be the perfect word to
walk with as I seek to walk in the good works God has prepared for me. My verse
is Ephesians 2:10.
For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared
beforehand, that we should
walk in them.
Ephesians 4-10 is a beautiful passage about God’s
rich mercy and love that made us alive in Him by His grace. What a gift! Because
He has prepared good works for me, His child, I want to be deliberate in
walking out His works. I want to be deliberate in walking out a life of love in
worship of my Savior. Twenty years ago January 2nd, Ephesians 5:1-2
was read at our wedding.
Therefore be imitators of God,
as beloved children; and walk
in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up
for us,
offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
Deliberate is defined as done consciously and intentionally. It is from the Latin deliberatus, meaning “considered carefully.’ It can be translated deliberate, determined, resolved upon,
and worked out. This is how I desire
to live my Christian life.
Colossians 3:17 is a great verse to remind me that this is my calling.
Whatever
you do in word or deed, do all in the
name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks through
Him to God the Father.
I wrote a poem/song to start off this year. I
hope to write more this year. I have started a Bible study on encouragement and
Lord-willing will finish it this year.
May it be a blessed year! All praise to Jesus!
Do
we live our lives like they matter?
Do
we really know why we’re even here?
If
we really know all about Jesus,
We
know each day is made for Him.
Be
deliberate.
Do
it on purpose.
Be
deliberate
Every
day.
Ev-er-y
day
Ev-er-y
hour
Ev-er-y
moment
Let’s
be deliberate
In
honoring Him.
He
created us to worship Him.
He
created us to live for Him.
Let’s
live and breathe the love of Christ.
Let’s
live our lives to worship Him.
Be
deliberate.
Do
it on purpose.
Be
deliberate
Every
day.
Ev-er-y
day
Ev-er-y
hour
Ev-er-y
moment
Let’s
be deliberate
In
honoring Him.
In Christ Jesus, we are created
For good works, which He’d
prepared.
Now let’s walk in them
The way He planned for us.
Let’s walk in them deliberately.
Be
deliberate.
Do
it on purpose.
Be
deliberate
Every
day.
Ev-er-y
day
Ev-er-y
hour
Ev-er-y
moment
Let’s
be deliberate
In
honoring Him.
