{Scripture Challenge} Challenge Word #5 - Follow

{Scripture Challenge 2} Challenge Word #5, Follow

Copied and pasted from patter Blog!
Have you ever owned a puppy that continuously followed you? Or do you have small children or do you remember when your children followed you like little puppy dogs? I know sometimes we tend to get exasperated when there is someone always on our heels! But, let’s think about why they follow us. Well, those little puppies and precious children follow us because they love us, they feel safe around us, they enjoy being with us, and because they need direction. As adults, we need love, safety, fellowship, and direction too! A lot of times we feel lost and don’t know where to turn. Sometimes we feel like our lives are in shambles because we didn’t make the right choices or we followed the wrong “guide.” Who are you following? Are you following your best friend, the ways of the world, or are you following Jesus Christ because you love Him, because you feel safe with Him, because He gives you direction, and because you enjoy His fellowship?Rick Renner writes that “the word ‘followed’ is the Greek word ‘akoloutheo’ which means to follow after someone or something in a very determined and purposeful manner.” Are you purposefully following Jesus daily? Are you purposeful in seeking His will for you in all things? Are you following His ways as He leads you or are you asking His blessing after your start out doing your own thing? Stay put until He calls you to follow.

I love these Verses also.

Deutoronomy 13:4 says “It is the LORD your God you must follow, and Him you must revere. Keep His commands and obey Him; serve him and hold fast to Him.

”Matthew 16:24 says “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.’”

As Christians, we are called to follow Him—not the world or our own desires. I pray that you will follow Him daily, move as He leads, and that you will learn to listen to Him so you know when to move or when to wait.

{Scripture Challenge 2} Challenge Word #6, Neighbor

Challenge Word #6: Neighbor

Are you new to your neighborhood or do you know someone new that has moved in? Are you a neighbor that acts neighborly?

Do you even know your neighbors? Are you asking yourself as Jesus was asked in Luke 10:29 “. . . so he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?’” Just who is your neighbor?I love how dictionary.com defines “neighbor.” It says “a person who lives near another; a person who shows kindliness or helpfulness toward his or her fellow humans.” Do you just think of your neighbor as someone who lives near you? We also should be looking at those around us everywhere as our “neighbors.

The two scriptures I used were:

”Mark 12:31 “The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

Romans 15:2 “Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.”

Scripture Challenge-Week 4- Home

Challenge Word #4: Home

!”Well, in John 14:1-4, Jesus says “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.

”Jesus calms the hearts of the disciples as He tells them He is leaving, and we can be calmed by it also. He is going to prepare a permanent home for them in His Father’s house—Heaven. He is also coming back for us. What a great comfort! According to scripture, Heaven is a place God dwells, and Jesus sits at the right-hand of the Father. It is described as a kingdom (2 Peter 1:11), an inheritance (1 Peter 1:4), a city and a country (Hebrews 11:16), and a home (John 14:2). I encourage you to look up those scriptures.
