ABC Scripture Challenge {Word #13 - Motive} - 6-19-2011

Challenge Word #13: Motive
{Copied and Pasted from Patter Cross Blog}

What motivates you? A sunny day? Gaining a new title? Money? Recognition? Or are you motivated out of love and obedience to God? Sometimes we may not feel like doing what God calls us to do. Sometimes we do not even feel like crawling out of bed; however, out of love and obedience to the Lord we need to obey His call. God has a good and perfect purpose for everything He calls us to do. That call might be to “cool down” before we discipline a child so that we discipline out of love instead of anger. Or maybe it’s a call to keep quiet when we really want to assert our opinion. Proverbs 10:19 says “Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.”

Our work, our ministries, our daily lives should not be motivated by what we gain or receive from doing them but it should be rooted in our love, devotion, and accountability to God. Hebrews 4:13 says “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Someday I want to be able to hear God say to me “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:23) Do you look forward to hearing Him say that to you?

And because believers are filled with the Holy Spirit, our lives should also motivate others to not only want to know the Lord but to live for Him also. Acts 17:27-28aGod did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us. For in Him we live and move and have our being.”

So, are you motivated to live fully for Him this week and the days and weeks ahead? Ask God to show you what change needs to be made in your heart so that your motives line up with His. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 says “May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.”

For my page this week, I used two scriptures:

Psalm 84:11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”

Hebrews 4:13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”

Working on two Sketch Thursday

Here is my page done with the above sketch -
 One thing is for sure Bandit is not a Guard dog..LOL...
 Title for the above sketch will be " Guard dog"
*****
Title for the Below Layout - "Love is Patient"
Journaling on my page....
 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.  It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Beautiful Quote -

Here are two wonderful Ladies that have awesome blogs, stop by and take a look.....
Grabbed this quite from a comment (http://theprofoundbrunette.blogspot.com/ ) left for another scrapper.. I love it and I will use it this weekend.. Take a look at this blog wonderful work - She posted the Quote - http://creativemoments-lynette.blogspot.com/

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen !! "
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
