Word on the Street

Last week in worship we continued to talk about The Divine Check Up. Proverbs 3 offered us a "prescription" for spiritual health. The prescription included: Trust God, Honor God and Keep the commandments.

We were reminded that trusting, or leaning on God is not a crutch, but instead is the thing that gives us true freedom and wholeness.

Dave Nash offers Seven Beatitudes of a Growing Faith. They are:

Blessed are those who have daily dialogue with God.
Their faces will shine like the sea.
Blessed are those who depend upon the Lord.
They shall throw away their crutches.
Blessed are those whose faith moves them to compassion.
They will warm our hearts and teach us to love ourselves.
Blessed are those who persevere.
Their courage will give us hope; their patience will calm our fears.
Blessed are those who trust in the living God.
Their joy in worship will light our path.
Blessed are those whose love of the church reveals deep faith.
They shall see the living God.
Blessed are those whose faith erupts in mission.
Their witness will show us the power of God.

Have you filled the prescription yet?
