A Heart For Discipline

Connection Group - 06.24.11
Hey ladies,
This past week Elizabeth George shared some amazing biblical truths for our life. In our discussion time some of you said when you spend time with the lord in your day: “Your day goes  smoothly” and “when a door closes then you know God did not want you going in that direction”.
Here are the things we learned:
Daily Discipline: Faithful attention to spiritual disciplines(Like praying, Bible reading, and meditating on God’s Word) puts believers in a position to experience God’s richest blessings. In Luke 2:36-38 we see the example of Anna a woman after the heart of God.  
What plan have you developed to become more disciplined in prayer and Bible study?
Daily Time: Finding daily time with God in prayer and Bible study requires personal sacrifice. Romans 12:1-2
One key to finding daily time with God is simplifying your life. What steps have you taken this week to simplify your schedule and reduce the demands on your time?
Daily Walk: Walking daily with Christ transforms our values, decisions and behavior. 
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
How does the Lord help you to stay in step with Him throughout the day?
Daily Desire: Studying God’s Word helps us identify and curtail those selfish desired that lead to trouble. 1 Peter 2:1-3
What help does the Lord provide so we can manage our selfishness and submit to His way of life?
Daily Commitment:  God commands us to commit to Him all that we are and all that we have. 
As you look at your life- everything you have and you are- what parts of your life are most difficult to release to God? 
This next week we are going to see “A Heart for Your Husband” What does the Bible has to say to us wives?  I hope you are preparing your heart to see what God has to say   to your lives. 
Love,
Carla
