Follow
My Example
As
I
Follow
The Example Of Christ.
Scripture
I
Corinthians 11
1 Follow
my example, as
I follow the example of Christ.
Observation
What
kind of example are you and I setting for those around us? Are we
actually saying, “Do what I say, but son or daughter please don't
do what I am doing.”
Are there contradictions in what we say we
believe and how we are living our lives?
I have up on my refrigerator
this saying, “Practicing integrity means that your behavior must
match your beliefs.”
As a follower of Jesus Christ it is so
important for me to strive to be an example to my children, my
grandchildren, and all of those around me.
It is true that all of us
are sinners. We are all broken, but we should strive to live our
lives as examples that people can follow.
How are we doing with that?
Application
I
will watch out for stupid sins that would mess up my life and that
would cause me to be a bad example for people to follow. How about
you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to be able to say as the Apostle Paul said in 1
Corinthians 11, “Follow
my example, as
I follow the example of Christ.” Show me anything that I am doing
that makes You sad. Don't let me yield to temptation today. Give me
the strength to live today in a way that pleases You. I pray for any
one reading this blog today, but especially for any men. Help them to
set the example of to live the Christian life for those within their
circle of influence. Help these men to say no to sin.
