Nugget of Truth for Feb 3.2016



Gleaned from my 'Daily Bread' devotions today

I Corinthians 9:27

No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

So often we 'know' the truth and share it but we don't live by that very same truth we share with others.
As we ask the Holy Spirit to transform us, moment by moment, we leave our old selves behind. Empowered by God, we stop ourselves from uttering that cruel word. We put away our electronic device and remain present with our friends. We don’t have to speak the last word in a disagreement.

As we train to run in the Spirit of Christ, how might God want to mold us today
Lord help me examine my heart today and be true to the truth that you show me that I share with others so in the end I can say I ran the race and won the prize.
