Righteous Day Mapping
Just some simple thoughts on Proverbs 4.25-26 about how to orient your day to God.
Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Look neither right nor left; leave evil in the dust.
It speaks of focus and daylong concentration. Here is an experiment for you to try for 5 DAYS:
1. In the a.m., read Scripture.
2. Spend time in prayer.
3. Take out a piece of paper, and prayerfully map out your day.
a. Your to-do list
b. Your goals
c. List ministry items you could do, realistically, that day. (i.e., writing a thank you or encouragement note, sending someone an anonymous love offering who is in need, devoting your lunch to prayer for a situation or person, dealing with a tough relational issue by finally taking initiative and talking to that person in a spirit of love, etc.)
d. Offer yourself to the Lord to be a “gospeller” that day. Be ready and watchful throughout that day to bear witness to someone about how much Jesus means to you.
e. Jot down some ideas for future service to your family, other Christians, or your community
4. Commit your ideas/plans/goals to the Lord and head into your day.
