I’ve chosen to base my blog on Colossians 1:9-14. It says,
“9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
Like it exhorts us in 1 Corinthians 10:31, it is my goal in life to bring glory to God in all I do, even when it’s something as “every-day” as eating and drinking. As I have my devotions and spend time with Him every day and get to know Him better, I learn what he wants me to do, both in the menial tasks like whether I should go to the store or stay home, and in the “more important” decisions like whether I should move to Haiti or go to nursing school. It’s also my goal to give God room to develop the Fruit of the Spirit in me. In order for Him to be able to develop fruit in me, I have to repent from my sins so there isn’t a barrier between us and so He can work on me and in me. It’s my goal to be Fruit Worthy – having repented of my sins and ready for the Holy Spirit to lead me out of the darkness, teach me the knowledge of God, and help me live fully pleasing to Him.
