Genesis 19-20; Psalm 6;1-5; Proverbs 3:1-4; Matthew 8:1-17
Jesus is speaking to a leper whom He has just healed and says, "Your cleansed and grateful life, not your words, will bear witness to what I have done." Matthew 8:4 (Message)
We are to be bold witnesses with what we say, but even more importantly we should be as this leper...We should be so grateful for what the Lord has done for us personally that it causes us to live a life in gratitude towards our Lord and Savior. What has He done for you, personally? Saving you from a life of sin is more than enough to live your life in joy for Him, but I challenge you to think of things He has done for you personally. You will be surprised at the amount of things you have to be grateful for.
If you think about it, this thought makes Romans 12:1-2 even easier to do. Isn't it our reasonable service to make our bodies a living sacrifice when we live a life of gratitude? Doesn't the world cry out for people who show their Christianity rather than just talk about it?
From the kids
Joy noted that although Lot's children were removed from Sodom, they were still influenced by their time there and were sexually perverted.
Alex was so sleepy, he had a hard time staying awake. :(
