So about my journal.....here is my first day entry in my "Pink Book" that I will shortly be finishing. Started-
July 26, 2009
--Humble Christians--
1. Love & Respect their Elders 1Peter5:5
--do I ? Do they know I love and pray for THEM?
2. 8 questions to ask myself:
a. am I teachable?
b. how do I respond to correction? defend or humble myself?
c. do I repent quickly/thoroughly?
d. am I considerate of others?
e. do I serve & receive service well?
f. do I consider GRACE of GOD in my life?
g. Do I disagree agreeably? Am I winsome?
h. how much attention do I require when serving?
Upset when not noticed?
3. Make good leaders 1 Peter 5:6
a. I must follow well 'first' to lead.
b. humility or humiliation?
4. Humble Christians understand their life.
1 Peter 5:7
5. Humble Christians BLESS their Church.
1 Peter 5:12-14
Lord, hear my prayer and teach me your ways. Forgive my pride, lead me, my perfect and loving Jesus Christ!!! I love you.
BTW--This was an unusual day for me as I mostly write out my verse for the day and then my prayers and application of God's WORD to my heart.
So, I ask you. Do you journal? Do you have a 'gratefulness book'? Do you write down "I spies"? Begin today. Start small. It becomes 'your' book of rememberance ~ God's faithfulness, God's goodness, Jesus' dealings with your heart.
Signing off for now, hugs, Lynette

I really like this idea. I used to have a prayer journal, but in the busy-ness of life, it has been stashed in the night stand and is buried. A gratefulness journal is just what I could use today! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder. Pride has so many deceptive ways that it creeps into my life. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
