Effective

Psalms 86:11 NIV

Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

Something hit me this morning while doing my quiet time with God.  The enemy would love to render me ineffective.  I have salvation.  Jesus paid the cost.  My sins are forgiven.  I am eternally secure, but I also have a purpose here on earth.  While God breathes life into my body I have a task to share the good news about Jesus, to encourage others, and to teach.

If I am not careful I can get lulled into thinking about my relationship with Jesus, but not what He wants me to do with it.  I need God to teach me His ways so that I can walk in faithfulness.  I need an undivided heart.  My heart needs to be centered on Christ to be effective.  I need His Spirit.  I need to reverence His name and live my life accordingly.

Jesus I thank You for Your Spirit that leads me to revelation.  Thank You for teaching me.  Forgive for those times when I have rested on laurels and have been ineffective.  May I be impactful for Your Kingdom.  Give me an undivided heart.  In Jesus name.  Amen
