2 Cor. 1:12 - "We conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God". Simplicity and godly sincerity. Simplicity.

love this verse. need to memorize it. It reminds me of a song a friend wrote.

Keep it simple.
Let your faith show through.
Worship in spirit and truth.
Keep it simple.
Be real with him.
For He knows the heart within.

Don't lie when you can speak truth.
Don't speak when quiet reigns.
Don't cry when tears aren't falling.
Don't march in your own parade.

A humble spirit
is enough to please the Lord.
So don't speak louder
than any written word.

Don't run when you can walk.
Don't swim when you can wade.

And I don't remember the rest. :)

Need to remember Simplicity today.

Make the most of EVERY opportunity. Thank God for ALL things.

It is a lovely day!

In my quiet time today, God is speaking to me about redeeming the time, amongst other things to reflect upon as well.

Ephesians 5Ephesians 5:14-20
New International Version (NIV)

14 This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.




Reflect:
1. Be careful how I live.
2. Make the most of every opportunity.
3. Understand what the Lord's will is.
4. Do not be drunk on wine.
5. Speak to one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.
6. Sing and make music in your HEART to the Lord.
7. Always be thanking the Lord.

Good stuff. Thank you God for leading me to this passage today. I think I needed this to perk me up a little. You are the giver of all we need and I am grateful. Bless this day.

Amen
