How do we successfully become "one body"? One way is by no longer pretending. How many different ways do we pretend today? Both on purpose, and accidentally? Out of habit? Out of exhaustion? Do the ways we pretend isolate us from others? Does pretending impede us from glorifying God fully and intentionally?
We also don't need to decieve ourselves or others by pretending to have everything wrapped up perfectly. We begin by admitting our own planks to trusted people. Make the time to tend to and care for this part of our Godly friendships.
My Plank: PRETENDING
Verses:
James 5
Proverbs 28
1 John 1
1 Peter 2
Action Step: Could you live in a way that is closer to following Jesus's actual life example? Will you purposefully take steps to admit and confess and renounce your sins and those places you need to work on? We're all human. We all have problems. We all hurt. We all fall short. We all fail. What we need to do, is stop pretending to those around us that our life is perfectly tied up.
What things would be most difficult for you to bring into the light around a trusted, Jesus-following partner? Are you a trusted Jesus-follower who your closest people can confide in? Asked God to form you more into this type of person.
Notice ways you place some habits above God. Invite God to show you how to purposefully rethrone Him. Repent and Ask Him to break any bonds you may have formed of allegiance with things of this world that are not of Him. What other verses do you think should be used for this plank?
What is My Planks?
If I want to make BIG societal changes, where do I start? Well, it may sound cliche or naive, but the first step is to look at ourselves. Jesus told us we start with ourselves by removing the planks from our own eye before addressing the specks in the eyes of others.
So that’s what I’m doing here. I'm rebuilding myself after 10 years of rare disease. Welcome to My Planks. I'll share one of my planks each week. Every episode will end with an optional repentance minute, if that week’s plank was familiar to you too, you can join in.
Repentance is key. We can't just point out our planks, we need to repent to God, and get His help removing them. Supernatural help from God the Father is ALWAYS THE BEST DECISION.
Join me as we change the world by starting with ourselves.
