Good Morning Girls Winter Study of Luke started up today! You can check out Week 1 here: http://www.goodmorninggirls.org/2013/01/luke-week-1-gods-plan-our-response/
Here are some insight as a mother and servant of the King… to our children and the ones the Lord has put in our path to disciple and minister to. GMG Luke 1:1-4
{1Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,}
Many may have undertaken this task, but have we? Have I? Many things have been done and fulfilled in our lives as believers. Things done that only God can do and only He can get the glory for. But where is our effort to recognize the things He has done and “to draw up an account” of them?
{2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.}
Many have handed dow the Word, the miracles, evidence of God showing up. Now I realize none of us our eyewitnesses of Jesus Christ Himself, however we are eyewitness to the Holy Spirit and God moving on this earth today! And if we are believers, aren’t we then servants of the word? If we aren’t then we need to be.
{3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,}
Have we carefully investigated what we believe, who we believe in? I’m pretty sure most of us have because we are here now. But do we remember why we believe in Him? Do we need to refresh ourselves in the Word? I don’t think it could hurt, refreshing ourself in the Word, His Word. While we are at it, why don’t we be like Luke and write an orderly account on the behalf of someone else? For our children, for our grandchildren. Don’t we value them enough to invest in them in this manner? In the process we are working out our faith and seeing how God is moving in our lives. It only strengthens His kingdom.
{4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.}
This is good. If we aren’t passing along the things that God has done in the past and what He is doing today, are we teaching them anything? Now don’t get me wrong they will be taught. They will be taught the things of this world are acceptable and pleasing… they will be taught all the wrong and evil in this is normal and it doesn’t matter, just enjoy life and live it up, they only have one life after all right? So wrong! We all will live an eternal life, it just matters which side you are on if yours will be acceptable and pleasing to the Lord. What we do in this life matters. What we teach matters, what we believe matters. And our actions display our true belief.
Are we passing on an “account of the things being fulfilled?” If we aren’t then we need to start.
Prayer:
Lord I love you more than I can express, I know you hold me in your hands and direct my paths. I pray you find me faithful in that walk and pray you continue to lead me and guide me. I pray for more obedience in doing your will. I pray for the tasks you lay in front of me, I need strength to complete them and your Holy Spirit to fill me to accomplish them the way you need in order to glorify your Kingdom. Help me pass on more of You to my children, the children you place in my life and fellow believers and sinners to be saved for you. I pray my life is a reflection of you. Rid me of myself, Lord I lay me down! Do what you wish with my life and may I never forget to pass on an “account of the things being fulfilled!” To you be all Glory and power and please equip me to further your Kingdom! I love you Lord!
