Week 3

Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord, “ will enter the kingdom of heaven. but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Doing the will of his father oriented Jesus’ whole life. Jesus was always available to do the will of his father. A lack of availability is one of the greatest obstetrical that keeps us from being like Jesus. Life can be so busy, so packed full of stuff to do. Not that you don’t want to do the father’s will, it is just there is no time. What would it look like if we planned to put what God wants ahead of whatever we have planned? The goal of this week is simple to give God priority in your day. 1. Make a commitment This starts by simply stopping saying I might and start saying I will. Pray that you will be available to whomever God shows you today. when an opportunity comes and you think you do not have time, remember your prayer, your commitment to God this week. 2. Create a reminder some times before you know it, your day is over and I have forgotten the commitment i made. set an alarm on your phone to sound every few hours, put a note with your lunch, get a reminder app on your phone, tie a piece of string around your wrist. 3. when you see an opportunity to encourage someone or restore value, call it out. Tell them. If you see a positive God-given trait, tell them “you are a great worker”, “It is so cool that you volunteer” ex: It may feel a bit? Awkward because you are not used to encouraging people. That is OK if unsure, ask “Lord if this opportunity is for me “and go for it. 4. Act write the names of the people you encouraged and how you called out the value in their lives. . what did you find most difficult about this week? .Did you miss any opportunities? .
