Teach Me Your Ways

Good morning!  I hope you had a great weekend.

This week I was working on some training videos for my business team.  In these videos I took them step by step through different tools and techniques I use for online marketing.  These videos were put together to reproduce my skill sets in the team, so that they can accomplish the same outcomes as I do.

Psalm 25:4 (NASB)
 Make me know Your ways, O LORD ; Teach me Your paths.


The Christian life is all about God reproducing His holy ways in us.  It begins with the desire to become a greater reflection of Him everyday.  Without this desire, we will never undertake the process of transformation that is required for us to draw closer to Him.   God honors our desire by revealing His nature to us day by day.  As we apply that which is revealed to us, we find God's presence becoming more and more evident in our daily lives.

Today I would encourage you to seek out the ways of God.  Ask Him to show you His ways and then step into those ways as they are revealed to you.

Until next Monday, may God's richest blessings be yours this week.

Complete Renovation

Good morning!  I hope you had a great weekend.

Over the weekend, I moved my marketing blog from the Quickblogcast system to Wordpress.   This changed required me to not only re-design the appearance of the blog, but I also had to rebuild the entire infrastructure of the blog.   In the end, the only thing that remained the same is the website address and the posts I had made to the original blog.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB)
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature ; the old things passed away ; behold, new things have come.


The same could be said of the transformation that takes place when we put our faith in Jesus.  He begins a transformation process that not only changes our outward presentation to the world, through a change in word and deed, but he also does an interior renovation as well.   Our thoughts and feelings are transformed by the presence of the Holy Spirit.  We begin to see with spiritual vision not just physical sight.  The only thing that remains when this process is complete is our name and the experiences of our lives, everything else is made new.

As you examine your life today, you may see evidence of this ongoing renovation project.   Don't get impatient for the work to be finished, in due time the transformed you will be on display and the world will see the glory of Christ displayed through you.

Until next Monday, may God's richest blessings be yours this week.
