Sold Out for Righteousness

The two spiritual disciplines I chose were the temple of God and discernment. 1 cor 6: 19,20 Paul talks about how our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and how He lives in us and was given to us by God. He goes on to say that we have been bought with a price and we are to honor God with our body. What I learned from this is we have to be on guard from everything that is immoral because this is the temple of the living God and he requires holiness.  We have to physically take care of  ourselves as well so that we can continue the work the Lord has us to do. We have to be fit for battle. We have been bought with a price is something that we should think about and thank God about daily. The price of His only begotten Son. So it is also meaningful to remember that we are the property of God.  So I now know to present my whole  self  as a living sacrifice, Holy and acceptable to God which is our reasonable service (Rom 12:10) and the greatest of all to Love the Lord our God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength for this is the 1st commandment(mark 12:30) bottom line there is no compromising or exceptions this what God is asking and commanding than I want to be totally obedient.

The second one I chose was discernment.  Discernment to me is being able to separate truth from deception or error.  I notice that discernment has to be used in our life as a follower of Christ.  We need it when we make decisions in what we watch on t.v. People  who are false teachers that are out and about trying to sabotage God’s plan for man, reading books and just about every basic decision in life. We  don’t always know or have understanding of everything and our culture is always changing. The way I found that helps me from what is right from wrong, moral or immoral is from the Word of God.  I have to continue to apply his word to my life and meditate on it so it becomes a part of me.  The Holy spirit will bring it back to my memory.  Discernment is definitaly  what I want.
