A Plan to Follow

January 11, 2015Dale Ebel

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” – 1 Timothy 4:12

 “Most men die at 27; we just bury them at 72.” – Mark Twain

Would it be possible to make an actual plan to honor Christ and represent Him well this year? What might this plan look like? Perhaps you could use 1 Timothy 4:12 as a guide. How might the Lord use me as an example…

–> “in speech” In what ways do I need to surrender my words to the Lord this year?

–> “in conduct” How do I spend my time?  In what ways can I specifically steward of the time God has given me more faithfully?

–> “in love” Who do I find it difficult to love? What are some things I can tangibly do to show love to this person?

–> “in faith” Where have I failed to trust God? Where have I failed to be trustworthy? In God’s strength, I will make a plan to be different this year.

–> “in purity” If the Lord were to return would he be pleased by ALL my activities in any given day? In what areas do you need to “consecrate yourself” to the Lord? (Josh. 3:5)

In Christ,

Dale
