Next Steps

Romans 12: 1-2

First Column: Copy the scripture word for word instead of copy and paste.

 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life- and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Second Column: say the scripture in my own words.

God wants me to be aware of my every move even when brushing my teeth, getting the mail, and have him in the middle of those actions. He doesn't want me to forgot who I am during the "life" that shows up and he always wants me to give him the chance to show me how to live maturely and not make a fool of myself. He will show me what to do in all situations if I just let him, and then I need to DO IT! like right now. ANd yep, I'll be changed.

Third Column: What will I do because of this scripture.

I will slow down and curb my reactions and words. I will let him into the silly things and the serious things to hear what I should do.
